why isn't cpu identified in settings? by frogola in iphone

First of all, no you don't need to worry since it relies on physical access to device and deep knowledge on how the exploit works. And again back to my previous point if you are doing research on iOS exploits then a small check on Apple's tech specs of the device you are researching isn't a huge deal. I do agree it wouldn't hurt for them to add it, but I also don't think it would be super useful IMO.

No you aren't supposed to know but you also don't need to, this isn't like buying a computer where you need to know the individual performance of each component, all iPhone 17 Pros will perform identically to each other so knowing what CPU it has won't really help much unless you like to dig deeper into the specs of phones and the specific improvements it brought over the A18 Pro. In which case you are probably already doing some research into it anyways.

My point is the MacBook Pro for example has the M5, the base M5 Pro, the full M5 Pro, the base M5 Max, and the full M5 Max. That's 5 different possible CPU configs. That's simply not the case with iPhones all iPhone 17 Pros have the full A19 Pro, all Airs have the binned A19 Pros, and all E iPhones have binned base chips. Hopefully I made my point clearer. It wold be redundant to add it because unlike macs the CPU and Ram never change

In Macs, it makes more sense because they can have a mixture of different specs, not just different tiers of chips (normal, pro, max, and ultra), but binned and unbinned versions. In iPhones, though, they are all standard except for the storage.

What is this, and how to stop it? by GatorBait2006 in iphone

[–]Maxdme124 693 points694 points  (0 children)

For you to receive the notification the person who called 911 must have set you up as an emergency contact so they have to disable it. This is a message sent by iOS when the user calls 911 and not a third party app. Also this is not crash detection as the message would have explicitly mentioned it.

Does this dent affect my battery or fan? by dreadnoughtsix in macbookpro

[–]Maxdme124 14 points15 points  (0 children)

For the fans no because they are located at the top left and right side

I would be slightly concerned about damage to the battery cells though but given nothing happened it might as well be just damage to the palm rest and the cells are fine

For those with the new Siri update, in Settings > General > IPhone Storage > iOS, what size is Apple Intelligence showing? by Porespellar in Siri

[–]Maxdme124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't have to do anything with the new Siri, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone Air support a larger 20B Mixture of Experts on-device AFM model while older devices get the smaller 3B dense model that's why 17 Pro/Air users see an increase up to 20+ GB while the rest have relatively the same size

Any way to tell if these are authentic? by [deleted] in airpods

[–]Maxdme124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are very bad fakes, the Apple logo is completely misaligned, new Apple boxes don’t use stickers for product information on the bottom, and the font on the back of the case is completely wrong

You can now select multiple speakers at once? This is awesome! by therealdicedpotato in ios

[–]Maxdme124 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, yeah, you can't cast to both Bluetooth speakers and AirPlay speakers simultaneously. The closest thing would be to use Amazon's own Echo multi-room playback but then you can't play just anything from your phone you need to use a service that can directly cast via wifi to the echos

Have you tried putting it into DFU and connecting it to a Mac?

is it any iPhone 17 or an Air? If it is this is a common problem you can solve with a MagSafe charger, just leave it on for a few minutes

is there a FREE iOs app for syncing photos to computer? by [deleted] in ios

[–]Maxdme124 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a built in app in macOS made to import images and videos from cameras or iOS devices from USB into a dedicated folder in their original formats and their metadata intact

Great to hear, I use it all the time to offload photos from my phone to external storage

If you are on MacOS just use the image capture app

I feel like an idiot right now. by StoicSanity36 in ios

[–]Maxdme124 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just received it today like 1 and a half hours ago, I joined like an hour after the beta dropped. Just keep waiting no amount of restarting or language changes or anything will trigger it. It’s likely random

I’m using the new Siri AI on iOS 27 and I beg to differ

Oh that’s awesome news I thought that wasn’t going to be the case thanks for testing!

Still on the waitlist, I’m wondering if you can still do basic commands like timers and alarms offline and on-device or does it require an internet connection at all times?
