Reply to Connect to Ethernet? by Practical_Pen_7730
Lightning is spec’d to USB 2.0. I have a lightning multi port adapter and I think the fastest I got via Ethernet was 380Mb/s on an iPhone 13 Pro. This was on a 5GB fiber connection for my internet.

Don’t get the nozzle too close to the speakers or charging port. Otherwise send it

Reply to iPhone 11 Pro Max to 14 Pro Max? by Hour_Variation_7495
Switched from 11 PM to 14 PM couple months ago, things I can definitely tell the difference are;
- Speed (faster phone, more responsive, app loading time)
- Screen (refresh rate, brightness (outdoor view is incredible), sharpness)
- 5G/Wifi network speed (I’m with T-Mobile really enjoy it)
- Macro camera
Everything else pretty much the same to be honest

Cool! Do you find the older hardware ever hindering your satisfaction? For example, I have an older iPad that has nowhere near the screen quality and performance as my iPhone 13. I’d love to play games on the ipad, but I can’t reason myself to do it lol

Ah gotcha. If he does pay with one that covers it then he would just need to open a claim with the card company. Then get it repaired/replaced at apple and as long as you pay for the repair/replace with the same credit card they’ll issue a credit to cover the cost.
Good luck!

Im not out of the house yet so my dad deals with all that stuff. They just made me pay for the previous deductibles (which is fair cause its my fault for pancaking the phone) I’ll have to bring this up with him tomorrow.

Do you pay your cellphone bill with a credit card? Some credit cards cover accidents and theft/loss for phones on your plan if you pay your bill with it. Some credit cards also extend your warranty if you bought the decide with the credit card.
If you don’t have one that does this and are interested I can name a few that do this

Only issue is that I’ve used the deductible twice already 😬. Whelp, thanks for your help diagnosing the problem.

You probably have to file a claim with assurant(?), they’ll probably make you pay a deductible I think, and then they’ll send you a refurbished unit. The deductible isn’t cheap iirc (at least $100) but it’s much better than paying $550ish for a rear system or whole phone from apple

Oh boy. Don’t have applecare for my iPhone 12 but do have AT&T coverage. Let’s hope that works

Very likely a hardware issue. You could try to connect to a computer and restore but after that if it’s not working still then it’s pretty much what I would chuck up to as hardware. If it's a 12 and above then the store can do a rear system repair which would probably cost a lot without applecare or some kind of coverage. If it's an older phone they can only replace the whole phone which would also be expensive.

It was a pain to set up, but no issues after for me.

It all depends on you and if you wanna shell out money on a new device. If the new features are intriguing and you wanna upgrade go for it. If you personally don’t feel like upgrading cause it works then keep it. All depends on preference and the condition of the phone.

Reply to comment by SpicyUnicorns17 in I got a new iphone, but I didn't let it transfer the data from my old iphone, and now I don't have my old messages by [deleted]
On the old phone, go to Settings, tap your name, ICloud, iCloud Backup and turn it on and let it back up COMPLETELY. iPhones rarely “freeze”, it’s the user that gets impatient and expects things to happen instantly. And if you have to pay $.99 to get 50Gb of iCloud storage, just do it. Then once it completes go to the new phone, Settings, General, Reset or Transfer and then Erase All Content and Settings. Once it’s done you can either set it up using the quick setup (which has always worked for me) and be patient to let it finish, or restore from iCloud and point it to the backup you just made.
Either way you have to let the phone do it’s thing and download everything. If you don’t have fast Wi-Fi that’ll make it worse. But trust the process and all of your messages will be there when it finishes

And it drives me nuts that Apple have stopped updates to the 7.
