My iphone camera shakes uncontrollably which causes my photos to be blurry. I recently updated my phone to IOS 17 but it failed to resolve the issue. Does anyone have any advice or ran into the same problem?

Internal component exposed

I cracked my back glass about a year ago, but I’ve had a case on it and it didn’t really matter. I noticed today that there’s a chunk of glass missing now and a metal component is exposed. Can I throw the case back on and forget about this or will it cause a problem?

Thank you in advance!

My iPhone automatically shutting down while charging

Recently I updated my phone to iOS 18.1.1 and my phone automatically shutting down after plugging the charger cable. It charges if the screen is awake but as soon as the screen goes off, phone just shuts down.

Now I’m charging with my phone awake all the time. By changing auto lock to never in the settings.

Does anyone have encountered this bug?

Changed battery

So I just recently changed my Xs’ battery and I could go a day with just charging my phone once! Before at 75 % I had to charge at least 3 times per day as it would go down quite fast

Luckily on ios 18.1.1 the battery health percentage still shows up but you do still get the important battery message. Fine by me though haha

Screen flashes yellow gold color after screen replacement

I had my screen replaced on iPhone XS Max. The guy mentions the screen flashes as he’s already fixing it. Tried to show me. I didn’t see it. Once I left, I started seeing it. It’s not a tiny flash. It’s bright, yellow, and annoying. Why is it happening? I’m taking it back.

iPhone XS as my first iPhone ever

I found, through instagram, a store that has the iPhone XS 256gb for around $170. If I buy it, it would be my first iPhone ever.
It would be better to buy a newer model but I've always liked the design of this model a lot and this price is super affordable for me.

As an android user, I have been used to using apks (and I know I won't be able to do so anymore once I buy this phone) but I am completely sure of this.

I am thinking of going to the store in person to see the phone. What should I make sure of, look for or ask? Is $170 a good deal for this model? How far should the battery life be to know that I don't have to replace it right away?

Is Apple slowly overclocking our iPhones so the battery lasts less to barely run iOS 18?

And obviously make all of this to sell us newer iPhones

Turned off cellular, WIFI only, disabled apps auto update and just reset my phone - is overnight standby 9% battery drain normal with 78% battery health?

I feel like the phone is draining quite fast but wonder if it is "just battery getting old" or combined with other issues such as "logic board partial short". SOT is just 3 hours.

So just want to check how are you guys doing with regards to battery drain under standby.

If it is normal then I may consider just replacing battery but otherwise I will just hold on and wait for SE4 and trade in.

Thanks a lot guys!

Any Good MagSafe Cases for IPhone XS?

I’m looking for a black or midnight silicone case which supports mag safe and doesn’t have the ring on the back. So far I have found one from a brand called Veci:

https://www.thevecistore.com/products/iphone-x-xs-magsafe-case-black?srsltid=AfmBOorwb0nWWMxoMrSRdVXJbMsiypaRQmy2h5o8v7zXyBAjoXkQkmda

Does anyone know if this case is good? I live in France and on French Amazon it’s quite pricey. Does anyone know a better alternative, all help is appreciated.

Edit: I’m planning to use the anker 622 magnetised power bank on it, so if anyone has tried this please tell me wether the width fits since the iPhone XS is barely wide enough for the anker power bank and it is not designed for a phone with rounded edges in the casing.

Old Firmware Still Safe?

I’m running 16.7.2 and been refusing to update due to the possibility of my batterie’s health, yet how safe is it to stay on this firmware? Without any more security updates in exchange for a healthy battery.

iOS 18.1 shows capacity for replacement batteries, also on XS!

Also, the annoying warning message in settings seems to be gone. Huge win for repair!
