iOS tip: If, while inside any app, you focus the status bar, Braille Screen Input will act as if you were on the homescreen, that is it will let you find and open any app. Great for multitasking. #Accessibility#Blind#iOS#iPhone
Dear Apple users,
No, your Apple iPhone is not more private, and YOU can prove it to yourself.
Sign up for either AdGuard DNS or Control D DNS, and enable logging. Be sure to use that DNS profile.
A fresh stock copy of iOS with no 3rd party apps installed will call home more than a Google Pixel or Microsoft Windows 11 Ltsc.
got my first iphone (and one of the very first iphones ever sold - launch day purchase in 2007!) back in my possession while I was in sydney
I still have my second iPhone, a 3GS. It's fun to get out now and then and bask in the glorious non-flat, detailed UI.
But I was hoping the silent button meant SILENT and was losing my mind when videos would start blasting but I think you just solved that too! (I won’t know until I randomly scroll over a dumb video, but I’m pretty confident that was it)!
Thank you again!
You could maybe make it run a Shortcut instead that toggles both the ringer and toggles the volume to and from 0%. You’d make that in the Shortcuts app.
Here’s Apple’s documentation on how to use and customize the button.
A friend with an iPhone want to read and write PGP-encrypted emails: what's the cheapest and simplest approach I can suggest him?

Another reason not to upgrade to iPhone 17 too, as Apple cultivates unpredictable policies - one might just end up with a piece of scrap-metal in your hands overnight.

If you have an iPhone and haven't already, you should download ICEBlock, which allows you to report and warns you of nearby ICE activity. It stores minimal data and deletes data after 4 hours (according to its documentation).
There have been a slew of new, third-party camera apps launched for the iPhone lately, just as Apple is about to revamp the stock Camera app in iOS 26. But these four are a lot more capable - and one is a LOT more fun.
