I recently (1 week ago) bought a 15 Plus & my old phone that I’ll be transferring over the contents of to the 15 is an 8 Plus w/ a 14.5 iOS (I just was dumb & never upgraded my iOS, yes i am ashamed of that this) And now the highest iOS an 8 can have is 16. So one of my questions is: do I have to upgrade the 8 to iOS 16 to be able to transfer to the 15? And even if its not absolutely necessary to upgrade the 8’s iOS, will I have an easier time/less issues with transferring the whole phone to the 15 if I DO / am able to upgrade the 8 to iOS 16? Im just nervous to upgrade to 16 now consi ..read more

Hi Tom's Guide community, Today, one of my friends told me about the Scarlet app, which is like an app store or IPA installer for iPhone and iPad devices. I really want to use this app, but I'm a little bit concerned about whether this app is safe to use or not. Has anyone here used this app and can confirm its safety ..read more

Apple Store reset my iPhone back to factory settings last week. I am going on holiday tomorrow for ten days. Will my iPhone continue to learn my usual location and charging patterns when I get back home, or will I need to reset the device and start over in order for battery optimised charging to work as it’s not currently had enough time to learn? Thank you ..read more

My new iPhone arrived in the mail today. I’ve traditionally been an Android user, so iPhones and iOS are new to me. I’m starting to get used to the gestures and things are beginning to click in my brain, but when opening the Settings app I noticed there’s a lot of stuff to tinker with there. What are some settings I should change, enable or disable that you’d recommend? Also, are there any hidden features the average iPhone user might not be aware of that I should know about ..read more

Does the journal app display for anyone else under manage account storage on iCloud? It doesn’t for me, only under apps using iCloud and I just wanted to check whether that was a problem as if Apple release a journal app for iPad, would my data entries sync? What is the difference between ‘account storage’ and ‘apps using iCloud’ Thanks ..read more

Hey everyone, I'm seeking advice on whether to go for the standard iPhone 15 or the iPhone 15 Pro. I'm upgrading from an iPhone 11, so it's definitely time for an upgrade regardless. While I wouldn't classify myself as a heavy user, I do find myself spending a fair amount of time on my phone, and occasionally play a game to pass the time. I like taking photos, and while I appreciate quality, I wouldn't consider myself a professional photographer, so I might not notice small differences in image quality. Both phones appeal to me aesthetically, and I'm particularly drawn to the 120Hz display ..read more

A few days back I signed up for a website and it required me to scan a verification code through an app but I knew the iPhone camera could do it without an app. And when I tried it did give me a verification code but now every time I log back into that website it asks me for that but I don't know where to find it on my iPhone ..read more

I was using the iPhone 12 mini for the past four years. I am a petite woman and I loved that they had this option. Ideally it would have been nice to have a pro mini but I was happy to have an option. I needed to upgrade and ended up with the iPhone 15 pro. I’ve been using it for three days now and I still don’t feel comfortable with it. It’s heavy in my hands, even using two hands I rest it on my pinky and it hurts. I took a phone call yesterday and after about 10 minutes I literally had a painful cramp in my fingers. I’m a climber, I have tough hands. It’s heavy and not something I can eas ..read more

Often when I use the favorites page to call one of the favorites, then go to end the call, the person hangs up first and the screen instantly changes back to the favorites list. But my thumb is still on its way to end the call and hits the screen and begins calling someone else on the list that I didn’t want to call, often a co-worker on the weekend. Bad UX ..read more
