It seems like a lot of you people lose a ton of time trying to prevent companies from seeing you go to pornhub. I’m all for easy steps like turning off tracking settings and using a VPN, but the security obsession some people have really misses the ball on what actually matters.

Are you able to send a photo to someone via an SMS text message (green bubble)? Or does that also fail?

Do you have any other Apple devices?

My next thought would be to turn iMessage off and back on again.

Cool thanks

Correction: You can only fully trust it if the entire stack from hardware, drivers, firmware, kernel, OS and applications running on the OS are open source, you have assembled all of them yourself, and read through the entire source code.

Cool thanks

I can receive media, and cannot send to individuals.

Also able to send on other platforms. Just iMessage that will not comply!

Only if they would bring 3D Touch back. Not this crap

I had this issue on my iPhone 8’s back camera for some reason, it didn’t cause any issues with photos other than on Snapchat but I never found a solution as I’m pretty sure it’s a hardware related with the Image Stabilization.

Data exchange in network traffic is usually encrypted. If they really tried, it could also be obfuscated in other ways, so there's no real way to know if they're really spying or not.

You can only fully trust it if the OS and its relevant application components are open source. so that you exactly know what it does.

Thanks!

Closed source code or not there are still many ways to check network traffic and other information that would give you a solid clue as to how much Apple spies on you relative to others.

Carpro ceriglass might help

This is really funny especially when taken out of context.

It is always good to be aware and make others aware of how companies progress, but my point is that even if apple did push their advertisments further into inconvenient areas, (which they haven’t yet) most people would still buy Apple products because of their simplicity and quality.

A good example of this is the haptic trackpad, which if you want on windows laptops you have to pay thousands, and in terms of battery life on macs they are unbeatable. Even if Apple pushed iCloud and other services more and more, I wouldn’t really have a choice as Apple products are still some of the most quality products and you just can’t compare any windows laptop to the MacBook air for example

persistence even when powered off. and we thought hackers are bad guys.

You are right, knowing Apple it will be a port that is usb compatible, but faster if you use an Apple cord that doesn’t come with the phone. Maybe it will be magnetic and use it’s own microprocessor. Who knows…. But it won’t just be a simple usb.

Ikr, in comparison my iPhone XR has like 2-3x bigger lens than iPhone 7 Plus

Unnecessary complication and a solution in search of a problem.

Yes you can charge it with your old charger but the charging won’t be as quick as the USB-C charging.

Man those cameras were small, in retrospect

I'll probably skip this generation. Maybe wait until the 16 or 17. I like my 13 Pro and there is no reason to upgrade.

Didn't know about this, can you tell more about how to do it?

Not everyone has the funds for this to be an option.
