One thing to keep in mind: when you lock and hide an app on your iPhone, it moves to the hidden folder. Apple claims it’s hidden so well that even a search won’t reveal it. However, if you go to your battery settings and check the Battery Usage section, the hidden app will still appear there, making it easy to spot.
Yep, all this is so true, so anyone, especially another Apple ecosystem user could easily still find the apps, so hiding them is somewhat futile lol. This would only work with very young children, though for only so long, and people who aren’t tech savvy lol.
Which is correct no? You can’t search and open the app right ? You need to go to that hidden folder to see the app. Battery usage and what not , is that gonna let someone “use” that app or uninstall …???
Anyone else getting massive battery drain on their 16PM? My indexing finished and I go down like 1% a minute as soon as I’m on my Home Screen. Its horrible
Turn off all the background app refresh for apps u don’t need. Turn off location services for apps u don’t need. Use “while in use” instead of always for location for most things. Try to avoid widgets that always search for changes, such as weather, photos that constantly change, battery % of other devices, etc. they all make the phone use constant energy when checking for changes and updating. Use dark mode. Things like messaging apps, try to only use the ones u need. As social media and messaging apps are always checking for updates. These are things I do cause I mainly use my 16 pro for the camera and normal phone usage. If I want to check the weather, I don’t need a widget. I use a lot of shortcuts instead. I turn off always on display too. My battery drains so slow unless I’m filming or the occasional gaming binge. Hope this helps

I have to bring my iphone 16 pro back to Apple as the capture button doesn't work properly. It freaks out and after pressing it to take a picture the screen goes black, iphone freezes and all my apps reboot. Within minutes the phone gets really hot and doesn't sink the pictuess till it cools down. Also my airpods lost their gestures until I rebooted the phone.
How's android coming along with iMessage, FaceTime, Apple Card, spatial vid/pics, airplay, hide email etc?? Even you know android is hot garbage, thats why you're watching vids about the iPhone
On another video it was said optimized battery charging and clean energy charging can drain the battery. I turned both off and have my battery slider to 90%. I have the 16 pro not sure if this is the correct thing to do, but I’m going to test this out and see what happens 😅
On my iPhone 16 Pro Max, when I double tap the photo button it just takes numerous photos. When I slide my finger up and down it doesn’t do anything. Is there something I’m not doing right or is there a setting I need to enable?
Just remember with 16:9 format the image is cropped at the top and bottom compared to 4:3 so you are loosing a bit due to the crop. So it's better in most cases to just use 4:3 and edit it to 16:9 after if you want to. Apple has it at 4:3 by default as this format looks better on print they said. But sure 16:9 is also great if you want to use it as a background wallpaper on your computer and things like that.
Aaron can you make a video to show how you use shortcuts. I am trying to use more of shortcuts but find most shortcuts don’t really save me time or aren’t that useful. I would love to see how you use them.

Camera control is a battery killer 😢 on my iPhone 16 Pro, it damn draws plenty of juice along with 3 camera setup, about 40% of battery drained in 90 minutes, this could be new normal with such a setup 😅
For those with battery issues, either one of your apps are running amok and in the back ground or your location services is running Best way is to stop all back ground process for all social media apps followed by non essentials and monitor Only when it’s be done you can monitor the drain, and for me it’s mostly background music apps and nothing major So likely a typical user problem of having ALL apps installed and leaving it
Current impression of the 16 pro is great all around. 8800 geekbench score, cameras are amazing, everything is wonderful. My only gripe is the battery life. Even after indexing had finished up after I updated to ios 18.1, the battery seems to get sapped away. I can see the percentage ticking down bit by bit.

You’re lucky 🍀 mate - my 15 pro max was at 100 per cent 💯 less than 3 months ago - bam 💥 88% per cent in the space of weeks and getting worse. This is what’s defined as a good that is not even of “merchantable quality”, engaged in misleading and deceptive conduct and unconscionable business dealings in their marketing and sales claims. Titanium that can be scratched by brushing against aluminium. Btw I’m Mac 🖥️ lifer I owned a Mac 1&2 in 90’s as a kid and worked all summer to buy the very first iPod.

A single full press brings up the camera. A single half press brings up the options for the selected items. A half double press brings up the menu. Its a bit tricky to do, but thats how it works.
@@zollotech No matter how hard I press, it does not open the camera with a single press of the camera control on my iPhone 16 Pro Max. And I've already tried everything. It's a software error.
@@zollotech I'm not too stupid to use camera control. 🤣 The camera opens when I press the camera button twice within a second. It is not that it works from time to time the first press. I think it's a software error that occurred when transferring from my iPhone 11 Pro to the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Something must have gone wrong in the software. It was so that after installing the 16 Pro Max, I had to do a 1GB update. But it was still called iOS 18. I'll see when the iOS 18.0.1 update comes..hopefully it's fixed then!
That is mainly due to running betas. I also refuse to disable all the helpful features on my phones so it gets better battery. I prefer to use features of the phone to make my life easier and then just plug it in as needed.
Yeah. People have been building apps and charging for wallpaper using my idea of offering a wallpaper in every video for years. I just refuse to take money for something I have not created or pretended to create myself.

Optimized Battery Charging and Charge Limit are mutually exclusive
Not really. When you use optimized battery charging, you have to give it 14 days to learn the pattern and then enable.
On another video it was said optimized battery charging and clean energy charging can drain the battery. I turned both off and have my battery slider to 90%. I have the 16 pro not sure if this is the correct thing to do, but I’m going to test this out and see what happens 😅
That’s incorrect information. They do not drain battery.
My camera app keeps crashing on iPhone 16 pro max and I’m on the newest update. Anyone else?

How do you get brightness down to 1 nit? I put brightness slider all the way down but feels way brighter than 1 nit still
Probably only happens in certain scenarios with auto brightness which I’m pretty sure is the same for max nits.
