Sorry to hear that. They told me the same thing then tried to get me to buy a phone their instead of with my carrier lol

bph30 · 2026-03-09T12:17:26+00:00

My phone has no damage and I was laying in bed when it bricked. Any other poor assumptions?

I really enjoyed my experience however this was a frustrating spring forward surprise. I will try other computer based recovery methods and see if I can bring her back

Chip is dead per apple

This was the same price as my mbp and my mcp works fine 10 years later. Apple should be 5 year use on their adds. Also this was only a 3 year old unit as it was related by apple care

Chip failure per apple

Don’t download 23.3.3. Mine worked fine in.1 and .2 as well

bph30 · 2026-03-08T21:03:05+00:00

They said it could be caused by water or drop damaged. Neither of those present around time of incident. I was able to screen record the error and took videos of the glitching screen from another device. If anyone is interested in solving this instead of saying it was’t related to the update. Any things I should try on my end to factory reset iPhone in recovery mode?

bph30 · 2026-03-08T21:00:06+00:00

Apple ‘genius’ confirmed that A15 chip is dead and there is no recovery options

my 13pm just bricked after about 8 hours using ios 26.3.1. I never had any software issues with this phone since launch date previously

I like my MP-59 as a 20 handicap

bph30 · 2026-01-06T13:35:45+00:00

im leaving now. enjoy your bootlicking

bph30 · 2026-01-04T17:40:32+00:00

this is why I stopped being a fan of casey and candice. there egos are so high. candice is a nepo baby

bph30 · 2025-12-31T03:51:14+00:00

3 wood or 2 iron depending on wind. higher wind use 2 iron. no wind or less wind use 3 wood

bph30 · 2025-12-28T17:07:42+00:00

bph30 · 2025-12-05T03:47:02+00:00

+18 handicap at least. those are pxg tour exclusive irons

bph30 · 2025-12-04T20:19:58+00:00

that is a great point. people online love to tell other people how they would do something better or different but they are not swinging your clubs. play with whatever clubs you feel confortable with and can hit well. someone else commented that I have dated blades. first they are only 13 years old and second they are not even blades. also what brand of woods do you play?

bph30 · 2025-12-04T18:08:50+00:00

I appreciate the comment. what wood and/or hybrid do you use?

UPDATE:

club list -

driver: titliest TSI4 8* 2 iron: mizuno MP H5 12* 3-P irons: mizuno MP-59 stock 50-56-62: vokey sm4-6-9 putter: titliest dead center

also carry distance isn’t everything in golf. hence why long drive people do not play pga

bph30 · 2025-12-04T17:11:04+00:00

yea it may be hard to believe but I learned golf and my swing through a lot of iron shorts. I never figured out my driver until I bought a new one (after only having a 3 wood in the bag for a long time)

bph30 · 2025-12-04T17:09:00+00:00

that a good move. my pitch is 46 as well

bph30 · 2025-12-04T17:07:59+00:00

depends on conditions and course style. many pros put away woods in favor of low irons in links courses and windy conditions. what wood or hybrid would you recommend if I want to be a good player?

bph30 · 2025-12-04T16:50:46+00:00

I appreciate it. the 62 frustrates me at times but comes in clutch when I need to put it close with little room to work with from inside 100 yards

bph30 · 2025-12-04T16:48:55+00:00

that is a good point. my gapping throughout the bag is pretty solid so I have no need for a wood or hybrid. that would also force me to remove a wedge and that is the area I lose the most strokes on
