15 pro max

The 15 series

Hopefully you have AppleCare+ in case it happens again and actually causes a crack!

Carriers maybe, unlikely though. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a new released iPhone discounted when bought outright. Maybe find someone reselling a new one on eBay or something

Do a recovery mode update.

Go on YouTube and just search for iPhone pro camera settings and watch some videos…

This is thanks to iOS feeling exactly the same besides some new features.

It’s all about perspective though… Promotion, cameras, battery, overall performance, internet and cellular speeds, different design aesthetic, cameras, satellite and crash detection, Dynamic Island, action button… etc… that’s a lot that is new since the X.

Maybe you should try a longer upgrade cycle? I went from 13 pro max to 15 pro max and I am more than happy with the improvements even from that. So don’t know what to tell you?

New shortcut that should work better

I don’t believe there’s a way to end a FaceTime without either party ending it. You could make a shortcut that runs between a certain time that will lock the screen automatically, essentially stopping video but keeping your audio part going. Or you could make a shortcut that turns off WiFi and cellular for a second and then turns it back on at a certain time, which would end the call.

Here is a shortcut I made for you that will disable WiFi and cellular at 2am, it will then re enable them at 2:01am and lock your screen.

If you’d like a different time let me know.

You will also need to make an automation to run this at a certain time. Shortcuts app, tap automations on bottom, tap plus on top right, tap time of day, select time of day (2am for this instance), repeat daily, run immediately, toggle off notify when ran. And then select the shortcut to run

It could be a replacement, I would still get a screen protector just to protect from scratches, ac+ doesn’t actually cover cosmetic things like that, and scratches on a screen can be annoying.

Ac+ has unlimited claims for the damage deductibles.

You can get it refunded at a proration if you decide to sell, though having the ac+ does at resale value. The monthly you can cancel anytime.
