    Apple iPhone 18 series thread

    Loving the battery upgrades the 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max got, but overall quite happy to skip this generation and continue with my current 17 Pro Max 512GB, but likely to get the Black or Burgundy 18 Pro for my fiancée, I do have an upgrade waiting. The people who get the 18 Pros will certainly...

    Apple iPhone 17 thread

    Will it really be worth it for you to miss out on the 18 and get the year old 17? Or maybe skip 18 and wait for the 20th anniversary lineup.

    Samsung can restrict phones in South Africa if contract customers don't pay

    This is the exact scenario I was worried about, very disappointing they no longer allow checking the IMEI tie to a contract, I guess they want to steer people away from private sales etc…

    1 in 4 smartphones active worldwide is an iPhone

    It’s been long coming, majority of Android manufacturers barely make any money from their smartphones, and now with the rising cost of components like RAM, the tiny bit of margins they had are being completely eroded, the race to the bottom has reached the proverbial bottom :X3: Meanwhile over...

    Apple iPhone 17 thread

    Yep, apparently in some ways 26.6 is meant to prepare the devices for iOS 27… https://www.macrumors.com/2026/07/27/apple-releases-ios-26-6/

    Apple iPhone 17 thread

    Decided to load iOS 27 Public Beta on my 17 Pro Max today as I will be spending the weekend mostly indoors at home, so figured this will keep me busy while 2nd screening binge watching series and movies. So far I am blown away at how ridiculously smooth and fast it is, feels overall more...

    Apple iPhone 18 series thread

    I saw a YouTube Shorts video of a Dell Streak 5 the other day…that thing had a 5inch screen and was considered huge for a phone when it arrived. Check how that compares to a iPhone 17 Pro Max now, lol…

    Apple iPhone 18 series thread

    I’ve always been a fan of bigger phones but I am quite surprised how sub-6” have become so scarce, I always thought I was in the minority for liking big screen phones but it seems now that almost every smartphone is well above 6.3inch, in fact there are among the low end phones it’s not rare to...

    The iPhone is pregnable

    Hmmm…that is interesting, there we no logins into your Apple ID account though? Which iPhone models were they? Both my lost 11 Pro Max and lost 15 Pro Max are still in my Find My, I removed the Xs Max back in 2020, but had already emailed Apple on that report email to block the phone as well if...

    The iPhone is pregnable

    Interesting they got into your WhatsApp but not banking apps, it tells me they managed to transfer your WhatsApp number probably with the help of insiders within the network or from your SIM card. This could explain why they could get IG too any other META account linked to your number. Had...

    Rain launches LoopPhone with unlimited data

    I foresee lots of complaints around the Unlimited City package. I guess it will work well if you are based in JHB and work in PTA where your office will have WiFi, but while in transit will be interesting switchover. Some people will forget and get the shock of their lives after doing a work...

    WWDC 2026 IOS, MACOS, IPadOS

    Hearing a lot of good things from people running these Betas, bugs aside, Apple seems to have nailed it in iOS 27.

    Apple iPhone 18 series thread

    I will probably be skipping this one for me personally but may get my fiancée an 18 Pro, while I stick to my 17 Pro Max. Her 13 Pro Max has served her well but it’s time for an upgrade now and she wants a smaller phone. What I am hoping for is that the 18 Pro comes with the variable aperture...
