My MacBook Pro did that. The Genius kinda freaked out when he actually saw the machine. They swapped machines because the top case was bent out of shape and it was covered by AppleCare still at the time. Worked out for me.
I've not had a phone do this though. Especially with that kind of charging habit. I mean, that is how you should be doing it. Weird.

I've had a bulging battery before too, on a Macbook back when the batteries were user-replaceable. Since the battery on that model was under the trackpad, I didn't notice until the computer started clicking on things at random times.
To keep this post on topic, my wife just got her new iPhone 13 Pro. AT&T was offering an $800 trade in on her iPhone XR, which is more than she paid for it in the first place! The phone-to-phone transfer was surprisingly fast, although the new phone was pretty sluggish until the Apple Watch transferred over. |

That trade-in is amazing...the Xr is a few years old too! How does that even happen?! I've never had anyone offer more on any trade-in than I paid for it. What kind of unspeakable sorcery is at play here?!

Well, I don't need to get a 13. Apple's replacing the phone for the cost of the battery, because they said the screen was damaged Now I just have to wait till the weekend or early next week to get the replacement. $89 will be less of a hit.

So I got an iPhone 13, upgrading from an 11.
More on migration:
For iOS 16, what Apple should do after a phone-to-phone migration is crawl through all apps and look for ones that explicitly store data on-device with the "cannot migrate to other device" flag (for security reasons), and then give you a checklist "please manually check how to migrate these apps". And only after you've gone through them should it offer to erase the old phone. Overall, it's a good new device. But the migration experience left a lot to be desired for a 15.x iOS release. |

Good post.
I feel lucky that my transfer worked so well. Before I attempted the transfer I went ahead and took my iPhone 7 up to the latest version of iOS, suspecting that it would help. Like you, I did not elect to wipe the old phone in case some app data did not transfer. You know it's in there. ... |

Here's the only thing that I hate about my new phone:
It's always trying to figure out if I'm trying to open it. I am constantly clicking the side button to make it stop lighting up. It's incredibly frustrating to someone who previously had precise control, using the Touch ID sensor. ... |

You can disable the raise to wake feature in settings:

Since I use a Watch it is regularly unlocking when I don't REALLY want it to. I don't mind too much most of the time. For me, I would rather it wake and unlock the times I really do want it to without having to touch the screen or a button to wake it.
Unlock with Watch is really nice for the times I wear a mask. Louis L'Amour, “To make democracy work, we must be a nation of participants, not simply observers.

One more thing about the iPhone 13 and then I'll shut up (probably not)
This is my first OLED+HDR iPhone; the 11 was an LCD. Photos do pop slightly more and the blacks appear slightly blacker. Maybe? I can barely tell; Apple seems quite good at calibrating their LCDs anyway. But when held at a slight angle (20 degrees, say), the entire display gets a weird green tint. Is this because of the RGBG (i.e., two green lights per pixel) subpixel layout? |

NO IDEA on the pixel issue??

I'm not seeing the green tint on mine. Are you doing this in sunlight or just really bright room? My office is pretty dim so it isn't a good comparison maybe. Mine is also the mini so maybe it is a difference.

Hmm…that feature must be more sensitive on FaceID devices vs. TouchID? I’ve never dealt with my phone always waking up when I didn’t want/need it to. BTW, I’m kinda hoping the SE stays TouchID-based, the more I think about it. Every time I use FaceID phones, I hate the entire experience. This past weekend was an eye-opener, as I had my hands on an iPhone 11 quite a bit Saturday. By 4pm I was ready to throw it in the river. 14+ years of habit/familiarity is tough to overcome. Not entirely sure I want to at this point. |

As for Touch ID: I'm still a bit meh about Face ID. One thing that is better, though, is navigation. I liked switching apps by pressing the left edge, but swiping across the bottom edge feels even more right once you get used to it. (OTOH, "if you swipe from the top, you get Notification Center… unless you swipe from the very top right, in which case it's Control Center" is dumb.) Last edited by chucker : 2021-11-04 at 11:23. |

Been a fan of FaceID since I setup my Xs, would not want to go back to just Touch ID. Don’t miss having to push the home button all the time in the least. When my hands are dirty Touch ID is useless. FaceID still works well, even if my face gets dirty. Had to use a family members 6S while my phone was getting replaced by Apple, no thanks. Both? Absolutely yes. I like FaceID for getting into the phone, and the UI changes, mask use periods aside. Don’t like it for making purchase and such though, touch is better for that.

I'm actually looking at the setting right now (it's in the Display & Brightness section). For the record, I'm on a first-generation iPhone SE (early 2016) and running iOS 15.1. These days I'll usually just ask Siri what time it is, but I reached over and picked it up to check the time (or any lock-screen notifications) 18 gazillion times over the years. As soon as it goes from being horizontal on the table to vertical in my hand, the screen lights up without me touching/pressing a single button. It's only the lock screen (but that's often all I'm after...the time, date or any phone/text/email notifications). And if I want to proceed, I rest my thumb on the little round home button and I'm in the phone, in about one second (if that). |

I… just don't think of it as a huge net win. Yeah, I'm dumb. It's tap-to-wake I'm thinking of, isn't it? You can tap anywhere on a Face ID phone and the lock screen appears (and, if Face ID works, it unlocks). I think you can only use the home button or lock button to wake a Touch ID phone. |

Yep. No tap to wake here, just raise (uses those sensors that can tell when it's moving or changing orientation, I guess). But to get fully into the phone, past the lock screen, yeah...I have to touch/press something (I do the TouchID 98% of the time). I've got my thumb and index finger (both left and right), four total, set up for this for maximum flexibility/unlocking options.

chucker, have you tried setting up an alternate face in FaceID without your glasses? In my house my wife and I are each other's alternate face but I'm guessing the concept was for glasses and such that might REALLY change what the sensors see.

I'm *pretty* sure I added an alternate appearance without glasses on my 11, and either it didn't make any difference or it certainly didn't fix the "it won't recognize me if I hold it close" problem.
Which, once I understood that's what it is, wasn't that big a deal, but it took me a while to grok the "oh, when I don't have my glasses on, I automatically hold it closer so I can read the text, and that's why it's failing" part. But still, I never had that problem with Touch ID — between distance and weird angles, Touch ID just works way better in bed. |
