Yes, it goes to factory. But it remains locked to you so no-one can use it. So if stolen, don’t give them that privilege or using it. Do not remove from iCloud Just grab a pc, go to icloud.com and then find-my and you will find the commands there.

No. If you kick it out of iCloud it will only stop tracking and locking. Everything else stays. Might not update but will not erase your pics or messages out of it. Is better if you send a erase device, then after confirmation, delete from iCloud. But remember, if you delete from iCloud, anyone can take ownership of the device. Also, icloud has nothing to do with the store.. they might still use the store or even the wallet. If your device was stolen, you can lock it, erase it.. but do not take it out of iCloud…

Yes. But if you lose it, anyone can register it. Best advice, if it’s yours.. keep it in your iCloud.

Well, I would recommend resetting via DFU. Then restore iCloud only but not phone profile. (Set as new iphone and turning ON all iCloud switches after the fact)

Is your phone brand new? Check your battery, if below 80% health, you will have memory problems. I would just reset, but not just reset. Re-install DFU mode. You will clear all the bugs. And yes, it looks like an isolated issue.

Watch

Yes, locked at 60 and mainly defaulted at 360. Which for a phone it looks great. Still not getting the app.

Nah, don’t want to be a mathematician today, i just wanted to make a point regarding 720, 1080, 4k … the more data it uses, the carrier not wanting to do that… all the good stuff and the size of the screen.

Now, in Final Cut.. I do care about bitrates and sound hz…. But not now.

They are? Didn’t know that.. will have to read about it.

I dont use it that much, I go days without using YouTube. I only use it when I need something technical, like.. how to remove a transmission of an f250.. or idiots on cars when I want to burn time… replacing power steering on a 24 foot boat… stuff like that. I’m not spending a dime on google. Adblocker is a blessing.

Ads ads ads.

Right…. At 60 hz right…. I got the figures from my Apple TV + router .. I wonder if 1080 120hz … i know my tv can not handle 240hz .. something that 4k claims.. don’t care really. But it is a strain on cell carriers so they limit this.

If you are on cellular, your carrier caps it.. 4k is like 1 gigs per minute so you will strain the network. 1080 is probably 50 megs per minute… so you have to change your plan or activate HD viewing. But the app allows it. I just don’t use because you can not block ads. In safari you can, I use adguard pro. I rather don’t have ads then have 1080… specially when jumping from video to video.

The app might be different.. i dont use the app at all. I use the browser but I’m fine with the 360-720 resolution. It could be your carrier too, i dont have the HD turned-on thru my carrier so I’m just used to it, i mean… is a 6 inch screen. But I heard the app could be different, up to 1080.

Because 4K on a 6 inch screen does not make sense

Wireless charging does. Like 3% to 5% faster per year.. is not that much.

The 4th pin is burned right? I think the cable is always energized and when you slide it in, it arcs.. burning the fourth pin over time. Best thing to do is to unplug and plug the charger before and after plugging the iPhone. Or use apple bricks rather than other bricks. With the new usb-c apple bricks, this is no longer the case, the power is requested by your phone. (Usb-a are always energized) As for degrade or oxidize… no.. sorry, never had that happen with the original cables.

Oh lord. I bough my 2 sons the 5c .. because they wanted a green and a blue one. On both of them, the radio went out.. exchanged at Apple Store. Then one had a wifi problem and the other couldn’t maintain time (the clock will say other time and date randomly). Exchanged both at Apple Store. Then radio again, one cellular failure and the other one didn’t like the sunlight… it will dim to the lowest to the point you couldn’t see the screen. Exchange both for the 5s which they lasted all the way to the iPhone XR without problems. That was 6 iphones 5c full of failures.

Depends. For me is not, I have not smash a phone since the iPhone 3GS… brand new, left it on top of my car while pumping gas… and that was it.. 18 wheeler went over it when I drop off Loves. For my niece yes, she has smash every single phone without fail.

How about you?

JS is making a comeback but is slow and uses lots of memory. JS is no-bueno for mobile phones so is limited. To understand the needs, firefox uses it Gecko engine, Chrome and Edge (new 2022) uses Chromium, safari used WebKit… all of them are open source. But which one fill your needs? To me, gecko is the best for pc. I find chrome very limited compared to Firefox. And edge… im glad the Microsoft framework was abandoned in favor of chromium, that makes edge more in-par for standards. WebKit is great, and has all the features as well, but not compared to gecko. In the mobile world, we need to understand that a mobile phone runs on battery and has no fan, all browsers are lite or Watered down. WebKit for apple and chrome for android will not run JS or full python for example… is just common sense.

Is not outdated in iOS… they do all the required standards. Safari is the smoothest of them all as long as you keep ios updated. Everywhere else such mac, pc.. firefox is the best.

Turn off hotspot. They shouldn’t be able to turn it on.

Have you tried low data mode? According to apple this is what happens: Apps might stop using network data when you're not actively using them. Background App Refresh is turned off. The quality of streaming content might be reduced. Automatic downloads and backups are turned off. Services such as iCloud Photos pause updates. Built-in iOS apps and services adapt to Low Data Mode in the following ways: App Store: Video autoplay, automatic updates, and automatic downloads are turned off. Music: Automatic downloads and high quality streaming are turned off. Podcasts: The frequency of feed updates is limited, and episodes are downloaded only on Wi-Fi. News: Article prefetching is turned off. iCloud: Updates are paused, and automatic backups and iCloud Photos updates are turned off. FaceTime: Video bitrate is optimized for lower bandwidth.

Mms uses very minimum but still data. I dont know if you can get a plan with a couple of megs. Also, if your carrier has wifi calling, then wifi will be used to download mms.

Mms is data. You still need cellular or wifi.
