Reply to IMPORTANT SECURITY TIP FOR ALL IPHONE USERS by sirmarita
There’s a bug in iOS that lets you bypass screentime restrictions to reset the appleid password. It’s been posted about in some recent threads here.
Better advice is to use a long alphanumeric passcode instead of a short 6 digit pin, and be very careful nobody watches while you’re entering it.

F*ck that!

Just like in Ironman when Tony’s reactor got stolen and he had to use his display (though still functional) one

I guess mine will never charge then since my power comes from nuclear.

Gotcha. Turn off location services on all apps first. If it still happens, check for a hidden AirTag style device on your vehicle

I’m not sharing my location at all and I’m not part of a family group. I don’t understand how they could receive notifications though if my locations sharing is turned off. Is it possible for someone to still track me even though I’ve disabled sharing my location? I don’t have any tracking devices on my car either. I’ve driven a friends car and even a rental at one point t and it was happening so I’m inclined to think it’s not a tracking device. If it is it’s well hidden and I’ll find it and press charges but I don’t believe there’s a tracking device.

Reply to Is the Dynamic Island here to stay? by PM_CTD
Dynamic island will be here at LEAST another 2-3 years if I had to guess. Apples waiting to put as many if not all the sensors on the front of the phone including the camera under the screen. It really comes down to when, as the tech needs to be perfect where camera performance isn’t compromised and you can’t see the sensors during use.

This is a person I know. They are texting me when I am in their vicinity. It just seems very suspicious and not a coincidence - it’s like clockwork. As soon as I am in their area, they text me a few minutes later.

If there was an apple tag I would be notified that my phone is trying to connect with it

Yup. Works great. As of the iPhone 14, the US models are eSIM-only though.
Some years there are also differences in frequency bands the radios can operate on. It often depends on the year, but if they can’t design an antenna/radio system that supports every frequency in common use, they’ll offer phones with antenna/radio systems best suited to specific markets.
Even when your device can’t use every local frequency band though, it almost always still works well generally. My 13 Pro Max gets LTE or 5G almost everywhere here. Does it support every frequency that Portuguese carriers use? That I don’t know.

Unless you can get a crazy deal on either of those phones via a trade in for example I’d wait for the 15.

Reply to comment by The-Master-Reaper in Can I charge my iphone with a samsung charger with no damage to the battery? by stnlq
OP don’t listen to this comment; using a genuine Samsung charger on an iPhone will almost certainly do something to your battery. It’ll charge it.

Ahh I see. I was going to upgrade my phone to possibly a 13 or a 14 but wondered is it worth saving up for the 15? I don’t know a lot about it atm but wondering is it worth waiting for

As far as i know the grid electric companies use...is one,that all share.So distinguishing where the electricities comes from,for each individual power provider is basically impossible.

That’s very interesting. I didn’t know this actually. So is it better to take my phone off charge when it gets to like 85%? Should i not wait until it’s at 100%? Would it be less damaging overall

If as you’ve said been having issues prior to the incident since initial ownership you may have a defective device. Unfortunately since it’s been four years your not covered under warranty for defects.

Reply to comment by DelusionalSocialist in getting a 14 plus, is dynamic island really a big deal that I'll miss? I mean all it has to offer can be done easily otherwise too by Crystalagent47
Not really comparable. All I have to do is click a couple buttons to pick a different playlist. Easy to do at a light.

Apple won’t go back to the notch so the only thing I can see them doing would be something different if they can do something under the display or if they sensors can get so small they would be imperceptible in the bezel.

Yes but if you read my post again I state that I was having problems with my phone before the anger incident. I threw my phone because it froze for an hour. The freezing, malfunctioning & glitching happened way before I threw it. It’s really hard to keep storage low on my phone, I have a 64gb so every month I’m sorting through my photos mainly which is stressful but at the time of my purchase, the bigger storage you opt for, the more you pay and i couldn’t afford it.

If you're part of a family group and this person is part of said family group, you could be sharing your location that way.
Settings > Family > Location Sharing > and turn off any location sharing you may be doing.
It's possible that this person may have Notifications turned on for Find My when you or someone else enters their area.

Have you ever connected to their Wi-Fi in the past? If you have your phone may briefly connect and they’re logging it, knowing you’ve been in the area.
Try turning off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi when you go by this area in the event that’s being used.
Try disabling all of your location services and see if you receive the message.
It would be useful to know the context of the area you’re going to. Is it rural, urban etc
Do you go past their house on foot or in a car.
If you feel like you’re the victim of stalking though contact the local police.
