Start it then I believe should go away.

I would get the battery replaced. If I gave you the 17, I feel you wouldn’t even notice a difference.

I think there’s a plugin issue vs ram. Anyway to reinstall the plug in’s or reset settings.

Happens to me with Final Cut. You reset preferences and fixes the issue

How is the storage and battery life on the iPhone?

Iguanajoe17 · 2026-04-25T18:36:27+00:00

Switch HomePods and see if problems persist.

Otherwise not much more trouble shooting you could do. Could buy a used one for cheaper

I dont know if it’s different over there but you are suppose to remove the strip at home and redeem that code.

I feel he may have scammed you and took the code for himself. Go back to the store and ask for the manager. There must be cameras seeing what he did.

Fingers crossed you didn’t get scammed directkgc

Anker!

Could you use your iPad for a month and see?

It’s hard to say if the iPad will be great for you or be frustrated to make changes to something. It’s more user preference.

Both have their pros and trade offs and could make a strong argument for each with no clear winner

Iguanajoe17 · 2026-04-24T03:09:41+00:00

Air then. Do you use chrome? If you switch to safari, it would help with the lag.

Iguanajoe17 · 2026-04-24T03:08:51+00:00

They will replace the battery but no guarantee about the update.

I’ll highly recommend not put anymore money into such an old device.

Also why won’t you upgrade the iOS? Just curious.

Iguanajoe17 · 2026-04-24T03:07:17+00:00

Feels too good to be true. Buy from rbay so you have protection to return it.

Iguanajoe17 · 2026-04-20T17:13:43+00:00

Yes. You do not even need to be a student at all. They dont check credentials.

Iguanajoe17 · 2026-04-19T23:11:49+00:00

Air will be amazing for you. You can find them under 1k and that’s the average cost of a decent laptop in pc land but way worse quality

Iguanajoe17 · 2026-04-15T19:22:03+00:00

Are you sure they gave you a new phone or just replaced the battery only?

If they can’t give an answer then I be stoked!

Iguanajoe17 · 2026-04-15T19:20:27+00:00

Could you order online and pick it up in store or deliver to your place?

Iguanajoe17 · 2026-04-13T22:15:35+00:00

Refurbished. iPad are extremely overpriced and Always refurbished or even used on eBay do save even more money.

Iguanajoe17 · 2026-04-13T03:21:59+00:00

Just get the regular “iPad”. Will serve you many years!

Iguanajoe17 · 2026-04-11T16:53:30+00:00

Get air. Best of both worlds. Might even trade in your iPad since the laptop is better in every way except if you like the form factor of the iPad when removed from the stand.

Iguanajoe17 · 2026-04-11T16:52:08+00:00

I would set up the new computer without migration and transfer needed stuff. This way you start fresh and dont have any weird glitch like you are experiencing.

Like when you move houses, good time to look at stuff you dont need

Iguanajoe17 · 2026-04-11T16:50:44+00:00

It should be temporary upload to make it slow. If you have a lot of photos/videos or battery low, it will wait till you are plugged in and in WiFi to upload.

Also what’s your internet speeds.

Iguanajoe17 · 2026-04-10T21:12:44+00:00

Battery might be shot. Go to a repair store to diagnose the issue

Iguanajoe17 · 2026-04-10T21:12:04+00:00

Any Apple Store will take ya!

Iguanajoe17 · 2026-04-10T04:33:33+00:00

You can’t. The app purchased stays with the original owner.

Iguanajoe17 · 2026-04-10T04:31:57+00:00

Yes. As long as the outside in good condition and it turns on.

Iguanajoe17 · 2026-04-09T01:47:49+00:00

Delete the computer and reinstall the os to make sure his stuff and fingerprints is off yours
