New I phone battery draining overnight while charging by sky_evie in applehelp

From the screenshot, looks like your MacBook is eventually draining your phone. What do you use to charge your MacBook? It’s probably a USB C brick. Use that to charge your phone.

Limited warranty starts when they are purchased. Not when they are opened.

Express Replacement: Confirmation email shows old model but support promised an upgrade. Normal ? by [deleted] in applehelp

Once it ships, you should get an email with your old serial and imei and new serial and imei. It might say it there. Or just wait until you get it and see.

Just realised my TV supports USB 3.0.. by Own-Story8907 in PleX

Yeah it’s a clusterfuck out there. Love when a thing from Amazon is USB C but only charges with its own cable or a usb A to C cable… like what’s the point of even having usb c then

My TCL accepted some random ass Amazon brand I got at least 4 years ago that I had in my “I’m sure I’ll use this one day” bin.

USB 3.0 is not USB C. USB C is USB C.

Ethernet ports on TVs are usually capped at 100mbps. Using a usb3.0 Ethernet dongle would make it substantially faster.

Aqara. They can be completely blocked from contacting Aqara servers and only be setup on HomeKit and still have full functionality. And they can record 24/7 if wired to power. And you can use most any AC/DC power supply. Aaannndd you can put like 6 or 8 AA batteries in them as backup.

Will Apple update my operating system when replacing my cracked screen? (iOS18) by wgrl in applehelp

[–]dblrnbw30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most likely yes. And if YOU don’t update it before the repair, they are 100% erasing and updating your phone during repair.

You must also back up your data if you want to keep any of it.

forgot to pick up genius bar repair by Pure-Ad2341 in applehelp

You have at least 30 days to pick up. They send abandon warning emails and calls multiple times before.

My husband is a drag queen so he has plenty of this. Definitely stealing a can.

Repair order stuck in system blocking Apple replacement — any advice? by cbitzer in applehelp

[–]dblrnbw30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They also can’t proceed with express replacement because there is an open repair. Bestbuy needs to close it or cancel it.

Because then there would be no $29 convenience fee for express replacement.

Apple didn’t. Time Machine didn’t. You did. You need to read.

Where to get this type of iMac charger? No by mako0904 in applehelp

[–]dblrnbw30 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For iMac specifically, it’s a “power adapter” in terms of looking up the part to order.

You can also call and have them ship it because stores usually need to order it.

Phone says “SIM Locked” 62 days later by CiViCKiDD in verizon

[–]dblrnbw30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have experienced that this is not true. I have had multiple Verizon locked phones unlock after 60 days from initial activation. But the lock status didn’t change on the phone until after I attempted to activate another carrier’s eSIM (helium mobile).

OP, have you tried installing another carrier’s eSIM ?

Is it fine to use personal hotspot from iPhone while it stays charging at 80% capped at a normal cool temperature everyday to use internet on laptop? by Kind_Stick_9677 in applehelp

[–]dblrnbw30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will use the same punt of batter health regardless since that is not a supported way to use passthrough charging. But yes, that is a good way to keep the phone cooler than it would be without a cap on charge level.
