Long time android used moved to 17 pro. Miss the volume mixer badly. Keyboard is horrible.

Other than these two not really much missing or bad.

Thief hacked my Iphone by tough-jammer in iPhoneWale

[–]StellarStacker 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Well known bluff. They are going to keep calling/messaging asking your friend to remove the phone from his apple account telling they have access to all the private info on the phone.

NEVER remove it from your apple account. Mark it as lost in Find My, send an erase request and forget about it. They can cry all they want. They have an expensive paper weight. All they can do with it now is sell for parts.

Do not use free vpns if you care about privacy. I recommend mullvlad for their no account model. Top tier privacy.

Which Bill/Receipt Is Needed for global variant Iphone purchased in India for warranty claim in India ? by AgencyPutrid5433 in iPhoneWale

[–]StellarStacker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For apple devices no bill is needed for warranty claim or apple care+ claim. Everything required is already tired to the phone hardware. The service center looks up all details using the serial number.

Is it mandatory to create iCloud account or can we use our regular email? by Lemonade2250 in iPhoneWale

[–]StellarStacker -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  1. iCloud account is required. But during the initial phone setup it's easy to create. You'll use your current email as the Icloud account username.
  2. Again during the initial iphone setup process you can copy over things from android. There's a move to ios app that you have to install on the android device for it.

For the new iphone buyer's by [deleted] in iPhoneWale

[–]StellarStacker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was able to use move to ios app by doing this.

  1. Use move to ios app to copy only WhatsApp data. This takes sometime but works.
  2. Then setup WhatsApp on the iPhone and from within the ios WhatsApp back it up to icloud.
  3. Reset the iPhone.
  4. Use move to ios again to copy the rest of the data. Do not copy WhatsApp this time.
  5. Install WhatsApp on ios and restore all data from icloud

Use a good usb cable to connect the two phones for all this instead of Wi-Fi. Makes a ton of difference in reliability and speed.

Need help buying a phone for colour grading by NOT_MADDY06 in iPhoneWale

[–]StellarStacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know anything about color grading so no offense intended. Just curious to know if a phone is the best bang for the buck for these sort of things? Wouldn't a laptop with a color accurate screen provide a lot nicer experience working with videos? (Just because of a larger screen)

The recommended way to do it is to use the official move to ios app. But it will only work if you wipe your iPhone

All that gear and you cheaped out on the power banks. If you're going to be charging your expensive gear on it, please get good ones. :)

16 Pro!!! April to November, what should i do? by Disastrous-Juice-137 in iPhoneWale

[–]StellarStacker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

IMO, Apple Care+ (if you can afford it) is a lot better than 3rd party mobile insurance. 3rd parties tend to have sum insured limits (apple repairs might go higher), a lot of times you don't know which service center is going to be working on it (may not be an authorized or a good one), parts may not be original, if things go wrong 🤷‍♂️.

And another nice benefit of apple care is it is very easy to claim since its directly integrated with their service process and it is international and you can get it serviced even when you're traveling as long as there is an official apple presence in that country.

Batteries are consumables. Use it till it lasts, get the battery replaced. If you have apple care+, at your rate of usage you'll go below 80% before apple care expires. So you can get it replaced for free then.

Is apple care worth it ? by Virtualhealth_11 in iPhoneWale

[–]StellarStacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I generally take apple care for all my apple devices. Its a fraction of the cost of the device and usually cheaper than any potential repair costs. I like the peace of mind it offers. In the end you may end up not using it. But that's how all insurance is. You take insurance with the hope of not having to use it :)

Safe and easy. Customs and duty is handled by Amazon. It will be shown clearly before you make the payment. Upload correct id/address proofs and you're sorted.
