The fact that South Korean news reports, along with complaints by Samsung board members, say a “large majority of Samsung employees use iPhones for personal use” (KS Choi, President & CEO of Samsung Electronics North America) supports you @nelamvr6.

I also upvoted you.

Go to Settings>Accessibility>Motion, and make sure that Reduce Motion and Limit Frame Rate are both OFF; some testers had them enabled during the 16.2 and 16.4 betas due to bugs.

Exactly. And don’t forget Apple is also working on a iPhone variant with no charging ports, only Wi-Fi charging.

USB-C now required in Europe but not everywhere else. No idea how Apple do the new iPhone until announced by Apple in September.

I use iOS and I rarely if ever see those spam text messages, same with my wife. However we also use third party apps to cut down the phone and text message spam, and they do help quite a lot.

As Tainted said above, Android and iOS users both get these spam texts so it doesn’t matter which operating system or text messaging service you use, iMessage, RCS, SMS, WhatsApp, etc., they all get spam.

If you’re getting that much spam then you need to see where you’ve shared your phone number. Is it part of your email signature? Your cellular carrier can share it unless you tell them not too in your account settings, same with your ISP and Amazon. Google DOES and WILL sell your phone number unless you specifically tell them not to in your Google, Gmail, and Android settings. Were any of the businesses or stores you deal with part of a data breach? That’s another way spammers get your phone number and email address. Did you click on a link in a email or text that you later found suspicious?

Did you put your phone number on Facebook, Messenger, or Instagram? If so you’re screwed. Take it off ASAP.

Per Krebs and other cybersecurity experts, if you’re getting more than 3 spam text messages a week than your phone number was sold or shared without your permission, is part of your email signature, or part of a data breach. Per those same experts, only way to stop them is to keep blocking them on your phone and reporting them, or change your phone number.

Also per Krebs and the US Department of Homeland Security and the FCC, RCS is currently the number one target of SMS scammers, and relies entirely on filters used by individual cellular carriers for protection; with even Google admitting RCS is a spam sieve. Ok I’m

Oh, you and your cellular carrier are ultimately responsible for blocking spam text messages, not Apple or Google.

There are so many ways for spammers to get your personal information that have NOTHING to do with Apple, iMessage, or RCS, so stop blaming them for it.

Working fine for me, but the temps are inaccurate.

Tech is there, accuracy still years away. And Samsung has an extremely poor privacy record, so I would never trust them with any of medical or health information. Their watches still don’t use encrypted Bluetooth to transfer data between watch phone for example, the only smartwatches that don’t use encrypted Bluetooth, per Consumer Reports and health regulators.

I’m referring to the brick-and-mortar stores, no e-commerce ones. Different regulations there.

There are various state laws that state when the store’s responsibility ends, and that includes ending when a courier picks up the items for delivery to a customer.

That’s my guess.

But now I wonder if he’s really getting a refund. Funny how he said that after I post about me discussing his claims with a state prosecutor who pointed out 2 red flags debunking his claims.

What case are you using? Some cases, like the Otterbox Defender, don’t allow phones to cool properly. Are you using Wi-Fi or cellular with your video calls (which are processor intensive which also causes heat) - cellular modems are power and processor hungry and can get your phone quite warm very quickly when doing video calls.

Normally yes; however poster claims that 48 hours later the transaction still doesn’t show up in their bank account, and that’s extremely fishy. In almost every state, stores aren’t liable for theft under the law once the product leaves the store when picked up by customer or courier. And poster refuses to confirm or deny posting almost identical proven-false posts on other forums.

Handle the claim with gloved hands, it feels slimy.

And the poster/person with the complaint refuses to answer questions from Reddit users who want him to prove his complaint is legit. The more questions are asked, the more holes appear in the story.

Questions like:

-Your post matches almost exactly posts that appeared several months ago on MacRumors and Apple forums that were pulled when proven fraudulent. Can you prove you’re NOT the same poster?

-He admitted the purchase never hit his bank after more than 24 hours, doesn’t reply when asked if the receipt shows a transaction confirmation number from his bank to prove he actually did the purchase.

-Refuses answer questions from anyone who asks him to provide proof his claim is legit. 2 people mention that in his state Apple isn’t legally or financially liable once the product(s) leave their stores when picked up by couriers or customers, putting the onus entirely on the courier.

It was an extra safety feature added with iOS 15. Basically, your iPhone monitors battery temperature, charging coil temperature, and ambient temperature inside the iPhone. When one or more of them reach a certain temperature when charging, iOS pauses charging cycle to allow everything to cool down.

If your iPhone is busy doing something like restoring from backup or installing an iOS update (for example), your iPhone would get quite warm and that could cause the overheating while charging message.

Using non-certified chargers could also cause overheating as they are notorious for overcharging iOS and Android devices.
