I have always normally used MFI certified cables just for the one simple reason that Apples cables are much more expensive. Now most of these cables are good, but can range in quality. So I tend to try to stay with a brand that has a good reputation. I currently use Anker brand cables.

I helped get 2 iPhones from Verizon last year for family members, and yes, it is a little bit of a process, I just used the Verizon app on my iPhone. Voiceover did read everything, but because of how things are laid out, it can get a little confusing. In order to use the app, you will need an

This can be changed in Settings. You can get to it in the Watch app on your phone, or through Settings on your watch. Just go to Accessibility / Voiceover / Speak Seconds, and you can choose either Always or Never speak the seconds when displayed. Hope this helps. Chris > On Oct 22,

Hi Kay, Well, getting files to your iPhone is not a difficult one. You could simply use one of the cloud storage programs / apps, like Dropbox, One Drive, or Google Drive. I personally use Dropbox, and this allows me to access any of my files on both my computer or iPhone. Now as far as

Just a couple more things Evan. Keep in mind that normally in a smaller phone factor comes less battery life. I would say that both phones have decent battery life, but nothing compared to the bigger phones. Of coarse, battery life is dependent on how much the phone is used every day. The

Hi Evan, The iPhone 13 Mini is still being sold, so you can still buy one, but it is correct, the mini will not be made in any new models of the iPhone, like the newest model that just came out, the iphone 14. Now have you looked at an iPhone SE? The 3rd edition just came out a few months

Mike, I can definitely say that Apple Accessibility was not correct. I am running ios 15, and after turning on screen recognition and then going to quick settings found in Voiceover settings, screen recognition is a choice that you can have in your quick settings list. Now, as you mentioned,

I am assuming that you are referring to repeat mode, which means when it gets to the end of an album or playlist, instead of stopping, it starts over or continues playing. I will use a playlist for an example. 1, Double tap on the playlist that you want to play. 2, Start playing the playlist.
