I’d have considered that a hardware issue, since MagSafe shouldn’t just stop functioning! But hey, it’s working now!

Sadly, you’d be surprised how many people never think of rebooting when they have an issue. “My iPhone started doing something, what do I do?” Tried rebooting? “…wow, that fixed it, thanks!”

Hmm. Then I don’t know, except if it happens again I’d contact Apple.

That should have been step 1 after rebooting and such if MagSafe stopped working on any phone, btw. Just saying. :)

Dumb question…do you reboot your phones at all?

Becuse updates force reboots, and that might have been the issue.

Just the default sleep focus it comes with. Same as dnd but specifically sleep. But that has nothing to do with an alarm not working.

Do other alarms work? Like set an alarm on your phone for two minutes from now and set your phone aside.

So let me understand.

You set an alarm for 7 am. The alarm doesn’t go off every day at 7 am?

I use (manual) sleep focus with an Apple Watch. Alarm goes off on my 13 and my AW every morning without fail.

Point entirely missed.

Yes, and?

Those are all apps you can download voluntarily. Apple isn’t going to ban Google apps from the App Store. That’s not what the article is about.

You don’t have to have google on the phone at all, just change the search engine to DuckDuckGo and move on.

Having Google on the iPhone is purely voluntary.

Compared to what? That’s how mine looks normally in the absence of precipitation.

I had an 8, and it never did this.

You definitely had a long lasting bug somehow. :)

Yeah, that’s never been a thing unless a specific app did it.

Do you want a larger phone? Don’t get the mini.

Do you want a smaller phone? Get the mini.

Other than display size and battery capacity, they’re the same phone.

5G is underwhelming so far, zero reason to upgrade for 5G alone.

Camera module.

Good luck! Seems like a decent phone, especially if camera quality is your priority.

That’s the reason. Battery is on the way out.

The moment it dips to 79, get that sucker replaced by Apple. That’s the source of your issues.

Alternately, switch up to an SE 2020 or 2022, same form factor as the 8 but newer internals. Assuming you prefer the 8 form factor over the 13/13 mini/14 Pro/Max/Plus/etc!

Battery replacement will be cheaper, but either SE will last you a lot longer.

Battery issue. What’s the health at?

There’s no “pressure,” you just have to hit the button squarely.

It requires a few moments to prevent accidental activations. No additional pressure, just time.

I charge it via cable in my car on road trips, or if I’m visiting family and they have charging cords available.

Otherwise it’s all MagSafe now.

You’re dumb because you somehow expect Apple to give you cloud storage equivalent to the storage already on your phone without expecting reimbursement.

Do you also complain that your computer’s cloud storage of choice (if you use it) isn’t giving you free space equivalent to your computer’s hard drive?

Good grief.

OP has an iPhone 13, so my statement stands.

Your friend doesn’t really know what they’re talking about.

Activation lock can’t be defeated by anyone but Apple.

No.

Well, it sure sounds like a hardware fault. If the mic doesn’t work for anything, then the mic is dead.

Have any AirPods, Bluetooth headphones or wired lightning headphones to test with?

I’d just get a new phone at this point.
