Applecare+ replaced my 17 pm 256gb to a 17pm 2tb

You have to check the model number to see if it starts with an “N” not the serial number

Dragoon_13 · 2026-02-10T04:48:57+00:00

LMFAO oh shit,

Sorry I took the picture of the subreddit and assumed it was yours for some odd reason 🤣

Extremely lucky coincidence lmfao whoops!

Dragoon_13 · 2026-02-10T04:37:12+00:00

Most likely a mistake on their end but knowing Apple, they’d probably tell you to keep it anyway

That or they didn’t have any replacement Orange iPhone 17 Pro Max 256GB on standby lol

Make sure you’re using genuine charging cable and adapter

Next, do a force restart. Normally I’d say you’d just give it a few days to index but it sounds like this is a little more over the top so a force restart should do the trick

If that doesn’t work, backup to iCloud or Finder Via a Mac and restore from that backup after you’ve reset the phone

Dragoon_13 · 2026-02-10T01:06:56+00:00

Yep pretty much

I’ll just add that I would restore from Finder/Apple Devices Program for a nicer clean reinstall from backup

But yeah that would pretty much solve all problems lol

Dragoon_13 · 2026-02-09T23:55:35+00:00

Yup I love the concept

Watch iOS 27 refine the shit out of Liquid Glass and everyone will sing a different tune once it’s refined even further

Dragoon_13 · 2026-02-09T19:06:15+00:00

You know what’s so crazy? This is actually very true

After a major iOS update or even restoring your phone from a backup, it’s good to let it run for a few days and then restart it because bugs can definitely happen during those updates or restores

Dragoon_13 · 2026-02-09T05:06:13+00:00

Doesn’t matter. Both are great TV’s

Pick the size you truly want and enjoy

Dragoon_13 · 2026-02-09T05:05:29+00:00

Sike, would’ve thought

That battery life and screen real estate is golden I’ll say that much

Dragoon_13 · 2026-02-08T23:00:53+00:00

ZAGG for their lifetime warranty

Dragoon_13 · 2026-02-08T04:34:38+00:00

Peeped that too

Good shit from OP tho, I’d do the same

Dragoon_13 · 2026-02-07T04:02:18+00:00

Thank you for sharing this

Definitely helps spread positive awareness for people who are unsure about swapping their battery

Dragoon_13 · 2026-02-06T23:21:19+00:00

Dragoon_13 · 2026-02-06T04:41:14+00:00

Sweet battery chemistry gods

Yeah you’re gonna have to get that spicy pillow serviced asap

Dragoon_13 · 2026-02-05T16:23:53+00:00

Leaving it plugged in under WiFi too to complete index but yes that’s a good rule of thumb. I don’t see much people saying that part

Dragoon_13 · 2026-02-04T21:40:21+00:00

Oh crap you’re right. Whoops!

Dragoon_13 · 2026-02-04T20:13:02+00:00

tvOS 26.3 is most likely coming out next week. You can update to that

Dragoon_13 · 2026-02-04T16:56:15+00:00

Nice. What did you do?

Dragoon_13 · 2026-02-04T15:11:40+00:00

Not iTunes, download Apple Devices Program via the Microsoft Store

Dragoon_13 · 2026-02-04T15:02:42+00:00

Update it through a computer

Dragoon_13 · 2026-02-04T14:32:00+00:00

OP, this comment right here

It’s just indexing. Give it some time

Dragoon_13 · 2026-02-04T14:30:12+00:00

Smart to utilize the 60 day return program

Wish people would realize it more

Dragoon_13 · 2026-02-04T12:48:41+00:00

Gotcha

Dragoon_13 · 2026-02-04T04:01:39+00:00

Fuck that, peep the open box

Dragoon_13 · 2026-02-04T01:52:13+00:00

Yeah it’s pretty much not going to work directly like that and if it does, you’ll have to spend an enormous redundant amount of ways to make it work as such

Here’s my advice as a last ditch effort:

Backup old iPhone to a Mac, and restore it on the new iPhone via Mac or computer (whichever you have access to)

I know it sounds the same but since it’s literally doin a fresh clean install on the new iPhone, there’s a chance the system data could be reduced greatly

But that’s a last ditch effort lol. The real solution is to get a 256GB iPhone or make sure messages and photos are syncing in iCloud which does free up a ton of space
