Coming to apple policies, I’m open to accepting faults in a product that sells in such big numbers; in my opinion that problem coefficient to sales is ok. But what matters is how the manufacturer responds to such issues and fixes it. When it comes to repair job, apple is just not good enough. According to some estimate (in words of apple service center), they would not repair around 65% of the cases and offer a replacement, but at unreasonable prices like my case. Quote:

Do you have a Windows computer handy to troubleshoot ? This can be fixed if Device at least boots to DFU mode (apple logo and cable image on boot) ![]() | |

The apple logo and then a black blank screen. No cable image even if I try to get into the DFU mode. So, not able to restore the phone. I have both a windows computer and a Mac, and tried restoring on both; however, unsuccessful. | |

http://www.3u.com/tutorial/articles/...-recovery-mode. (Look for "Enter recovery mode using 3uTools") Once device is in recovery mode, 3u can also download firmware from Apple servers and flash it. Tip : Try with a cheap third party cable. Apple's cable does not work with tools like these. https://twitter.com/checkra1n/status...222337?lang=en | |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() A little more than 4 yrs and my Spigen case has started to cut. I ordered another one from Amazon. Wonder what the hell does Spigen put into a rubber case to price it at 1699 MRP ?? See if you can find a good service guy through references there, so you can salvage what you paid for it. We have a good person here, and he is quite sober when trying stuff. If he thinks there is a risk, he tells us. If it cant be repaired, then no service charges (normally).

| ![]() I have iPhone 11 purchased back in 2019 which is still going strong, used my sister in law's iPhone 13 Pro Max yesterday and didn't really feel I am missing out on stuff which I would use. Yes the cameras are really good and also the screen, but the apps I use load almost in the same time on my ip11 as well, no change in UI in terms of icons. Prior to my iPhone 11 I had iPhone 6 which had the #bendgate issue but still lasted for good 4 years without any issues, just the battery gave up, if I could have changed the battery it could have easily lasted for another 1-1.5 years. The only phone I would have bought outside of iPhone was a pixel, but given that google doesn't want to launch it's premium range in India I don't see me leaving iOS anytime soon. Let's see what's in store for us with the iPhone 14, hoping for a design change as well, and also fingerprint scanner, not that Face ID is bad but given that wearing masks is going to be a norm now, it's better to have both Face ID and finger print for ease of use. |

| ![]() Guys, I have a query regarding the esim and physical sim use in India. Scenario - I will be travelling to another country in Europe for a small duration project work - 5-6 months. I currently have a Jio sim here in India. My company will be providing me with another nano sim abroad which I need to use with my iphone (I have an iphone 12 mini). My query to fellow bhpians is that - 1) If I convert my jio physical sim to esim and then put the international sim card, will this combination work? (given, of-course, I have international roaming available on both). 2) Will there be any issues in using apps like whatsapp, facetime etc. wherein the physical sim and esim being from 2 different countries may interfere with each other? 3) Should I let my jio sim remain as physical sim and ask for the international sim to be an esim - will this be better option? I have never used my iphone in dual sim mode and am wary that if I make any sim esim - then it might be permanent on the iphone and cannot be removed. |

Another question on this point. If I convert my AirTel number to eSIM, what will be the process if I change phone in future (I normally change phone every 12-18 months). Can the eSIM be transferred to the new phone while at overseas? |

Reinitiate the process vis SMS, and they'll send you the activation QR Code to your registered email address, which you scan and register the eSIM on the new device. There is an IVR validation call involved and codes are time-limited for security reasons, so please make the request only when you have some time to complete it in one go. | |

| ![]() Have been using an iPhone XR for the last 2 yrs and 7 months, after the IOS15 update things went haywire with the phone! Apps started crashing, battery health came tumbling down to 79%. More importantly I had a physical sim as well as the e-sim working perfectly fine before IOS15, after the update the phone just stopped recognising the physical sim in the slot!! Thought of it as a Vi sim issue, tried a Jio sim next, worked perfectly for 15 days and the phone again stopped recognising the physical sim. And in the meantime a new issue of automatically restarting every few hours was taking place. Got so fed up that I decided to switch to Android, but being in the ecosystem just couldn’t convince myself so went ahead and bought the iPhone 13 128gb, hope it lasts long! Other than the camera quality and battery being much better than the XR, don’t see any other major difference. Came across this video as well: |
