If you disable lets say disable calendar from using iCloud, you will get a pop up with options:

Keep Data on iPhone

Detele Data on iPhone

That should be the same for the other apple apps like contact and reminders.

I’m not sure I believe this, seems like just rumours and hearsay so far, unless Apple were to actually confirm it. They already have USB-C based iPad’s and Mac’s which don’t have these restrictions. My iPad Pro works with every USB-C cable and accessory I’ve plugged into it. Even obscure things like USB-C multi-hubs, microphones and USB NVMe drives work. Most aren’t Apple branded. If they were going to do this for the iPhone, why would they stop there!

I peeled the glass off… Twas quite arduous, but I didn’t want to disconnect anything if I didn’t have to… and the glass replacement was super cheap.

Your iPhone doesn’t distinguish where the power is coming from right? It just checks your gps?

So if your iPhone is plugged into a car or portable outlet it would just be charging worse with no benefit?

The triple check for debris was it! I gave it a good brushing and scraping… but I guess my pursed lips don’t do as good a job at dust and small debris eviction as a legit air compressor with an air pic just did! Thank you!!! There was barely anything in there… but it did the trick anyway.

😂

Not specifically a fan of USB-C but Lightning has been pretty limited. I thought by now we would have a plethora of Lightning based products but nope.

um...but then every app moves around it. Have you never had Android and dont understand theres another way?

Need some clarification. When you say ‘shared Apple ID’ are you saying this Apple ID is used by other people in the family or that it is part of a Family Sharing plan where everyone has their own Apple ID?

Also, are you logged into the Apple ID or not? You say you never turned it on. What does that mean exactly?

Will turning off iCloud delete local data?

Last resort for me would be dfu restore https://help.ifixit.com/article/108-dfu-restore It sort of resets everything, depending on how you change the back glass (did you peel of the glass and put something else instead or change the entire back case and moved all components over to it?)

It might rebalance the force again.

There is a similar workaround to get iMessages on Android.

oh you can! just grag them there, until you release your finger they will remain where you want :)

OwO

Your cables will be fine, but the phone will limit how quickly they charge according to this. That is my beef, you can definitely still use your proper USB-C cables (I have some great ones too)

The thing pissing me off is that Apple will limit the phone to how it can charge or transfer data if they are not MFI

What.... I am talking about the cheap non MFi Lightning cables

The issue with said USB-C is that they will be limited by the PHONE not by the cable. So your iPhone may not charge properly or as quickly etc.

is this an option? From what I can tell they still force apps to the end of the line. So you cant put apps where you want them. Like if I wanted apps only around the edges of the screen its not possible.

Same on 69.420

I did change the back glass myself… though i did not (at least intentionally) disconnect anything to do so. I did my best to clean the port out thoroughly… I don’t believe that is the issue, as it worked fine just previous to the back glass replacement… it also seems like if the official apple charger with official charging block works than that would suggest that it is not that the charging port is disconnect.

Thankfully I can still use wireless charging and apple certified charges with an apple powerblock… but I’d love to be able to use generic power blocks and all the MFi I already have.

Thanks very much for your suggestions.

was able to reproduce on my iphone maybe the app code has been updated for the ipad screen view (different modules in apps for different screen sizes to support diff devices)

If it were me I would first make sure iCloud sync is turned off from every device I have. I would also make backups of my data where possible.

Second I would pick a single local device and make sure it has all the updated info. (How you do that I don’t have good suggestions)

Next I would log into iCloud.com and delete anything up there so there won’t be a merge, just a fresh sync

Finally I would enable iCloud on my primary device and once I confirmed it was working I would then enable iCloud on any other devices.

Imagine Mercedes releasing a car that only has full power available that you paid for when you use their super duper AMG gasoline that is 50x more expensive and all it changes from normal gasoline is color. Car recognizes this color and decides how much power to let you use. You are not in control of it. The brand is in control of you and your wallet. And Mercedes would make marketing videos claiming how bad for your car those other pesky gasoline versions from other brands are, and how their own gives so much more power (because they limited others).

This is what Apple will do with USB-C. If you are fine with Apple, you are fine with Mercedes.

Or your printer refusing to print with any other cartridges that are not the $200 ones from their own brand, no matter how good quality the current ink is.

Or your computer not turning on because your electricity provider is not "ASUS certified partner" so it assumes the electricity is not safe to be used and refuses to turn on. And the "partner" is 2x more expensive for the same exact service.

Or your League of Legends not letting you gain ranked points after a match because your $150 mouse is not CERTIFIED FOR LEAGUE OF LEGENDS. You need their $200 mouse, an exact copy of yours just with the word "certified" on it's box.

I can go on. If you are fine with Apple, you are fine with a world like this too.

Don't buy MFi products. Vote with your wallet. Avoid Apple products even, until Apple stops milking you so much.

OwO 👉🥺👈
