Apple says it will no longer punish those daring to repair their iPhone 13 screens

Here are a couple of ways to check if the parts used in your iPhone repair were original or fake:-

1. Check the Parts and Service History (iOS 15.2 and later):-

-Open the Settings app on your iPhone.

-Tap on General and then About.

-Look for a section called Parts and Service History.

If your iPhone has been repaired, it will show either:-

-Genuine Apple Part next to the replaced component (battery, display, camera, etc.). This indicates Apple or an authorized service provider performed the repair using original parts.

-Unknown Part. This means the repair wasn't done by Apple or an authorized service provider, and the part's origin is unknown.

2. Look for Warning Messages (iOS 14.1 and later):-

-In some cases, your iPhone might display a warning message on the lock screen or in the Settings app if a critical component like the camera or display isn't genuine.

-The message might say something like "Unable to verify this iPhone has a genuine Apple [part name]."

Apple Vision Pro units returned as folks just can't see themselves using it

Re: felt the same about the Quest 3

I searched on every forum on internet and eventually end up fixing this by changing the speed and distance units displayed on your Apple Watch by adjusting the settings within the Workout app. Here's how:-

1. Open the Settings app on your Apple Watch.

2. Scroll down and tap on Workout.

3. Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the Workout settings menu.

4. Tap on Units of Measure.

5. You'll see two options: Miles (mi) and Kilometers (km). Choose the unit you prefer for both speed and distance.

Now you can officially dox Scrabble players, thanks to the new dictionary definitions

Re: Scrabble Players?! OMG!!

Well, I can tell you the kind we DON’T like: the loudmouthed, boastful, sneaky type who plays psychological games to intimidate opponents and laments loudly about losses and bad luck, which are, of course, an integral part of the game. Fortunately, that being said, most people who play, even at the top level, are nothing like that, and are there for the love of the game. They are solid, down-to-earth folks who just happen to have this one quirk.
