Something is definitely wrong with it. Sure, any new iPhone has to update data (indexing) but that should at most result in a worse battery life for a few days. Get it checked by Apple or a repair shop.

Start the coffee maker, lights on/off, check weather, play music, search for things on the web, set timer and more.

You sure did, you asked for advice on how to commit fraud. I would say that makes the utterly stupid list, for sure. Arguing as why you should do it and to claim that Apple representative says it would be ok takes you to the top.

Congrats!

And now you are arguing as why it is justified to fraud Apple, and also trying to convince us that an Apple representative said it is ok.

You payed for an insurance that cover certain damages, not scratches. You know that but you are asking how to deliberately damage your phone so that Apple has to cover a screen replacement that they should not have to cover. On top of that you do not see the obvious fraud here.

So what you are asking is how to fraud Apple?

Rice, fixes everything.

What problems would that be?

Not experiencing any problems at all.

Fully updated and rebooted?

Nope, iPhone 14 Pro Max

As said this will simply not happen.

You prediction missed by a mile, at least.

Trust me - it will never happen, never.

🙅‍♂️

Historically- 5-7 years.

1. Don’t do that.
2. You are now asking the rest of us to do that.

I refuse. Sorry.

You know reported bugs does not affect everyone and every user - and they do get fixed.

iPhone Pro Max - never had any problems with it.

Happens to us all.

You are one year older and weaker.

Highly unlikely but not impossible. So why would anyone hack your phone and monitor your calls?

There are covers with a “pop” a ring or a special holder on the back that you might try. Search Amazon or any other site that sells covers.
