Hi. As you may remember, yesterday I received my new iPhone 13 Pro Max. I was originally going to wait for someone to help me get it going, but I decided to give it a try myself. I did learn that Voiceover was working after I increased the volume, so off I went. The first thing that was important to me was to get everything from my old phone onto the new one. I thought there'd be no problem with this. All I'd do was enter the code from my new phone onto the old one, and off I'd go. Problem was there was nowhere to enter the code. I then thought a Bluetooth keyboard was the problem, so I turned it on and tried. Still no luck. I then gave up on that and went on. Thankfully, I was able to do an iCloud restore, and it's as if my new phone is like my old one, including the Tarzan ring tone that I installed.
There was something odd that I noticed about my new phone. Whenever I unlock it, there's a code that I enter. That's not the odd part. What is odd is when I touch the screen, the new phone makes the sound that a Bluetooth keyboard is going into edit mode, and whenever I enter a number, it makes that click sound. I checked Bluetooth settings, and the only thing that was there was my Apple Watch, which was ported over from my old phone with no help from me. Now for the real fun. I was informed there was an update for my watch. I went onto the phone and accepted the terms for it. Then I got a screen on my phone where I couldn't do anything. There was no option to install the update. It was the same way on the watch. I had the watch on its charger, so no problem there. I then closed the watch app on the phone and restarted it. This time I got an install option, so I hit it. Then I got the option to enter the passcode for my phone. Problem was there was no way to enter it. There was no keypad to use. I knew what the problem was. The phone thought a Bluetooth keyboard was on. I got out of the watch app, paired my keyboard with the phone, and started the watch app. There was still no way to enter any passcode, but once I turned power off of the keyboard, the onscreen keypad appeared, and I was able to update the watch. My point is that I think Apple does things too well. If it were going to still think Bluetooth devices were working, at least port them over. Other than the above, all works great with my new phone and watch. Have a blessed day and don't work too hard.
