  • Tapping an iPhone is very hard; but as Pegasus showed, not impossible.

    As a precaution, Settings --> Privacy & Security --> Lockdown Mode --> Turn on Lockdown Mode. Follow the instructions – all of them. If this does not remedy your problem, it’s you.

    One other thing: have you been to another country shortly before this began? The PRC comes to mind. I’ve read advice to take advice take a burner when take a burner when visiting the PRC. I believe it tries to tap into all foreign visitors phones.






  • I used to use Android OS phones. I’m comfortable with my iPhone.

    As far as Apple’s Calendar vs. Google Calendar, Apple’s Calendar is not a factor. I just use my Google Calendar app as my default calendar. On the odd occasion that I need a reminder that is not available in the App, I go to the Google Calendar website which I have bookmarked in the DuckDuckGo app on my iPad. After I set the reminder in website, it quickly syncs into the app. This only comes up when I want a reminder to occur simultaneously with an earlier event’s reminder whose time is not conducive to what is available in the app. I will almost always set multiple reminders to help me remember.







  • One of the things I remember when I had a Note and then a Note 3 was the ability to remove the back cover and put a new battery I never had to change the battery; but, I found that removing the battery and putting it back with the cover took care of most problems. I believe the same thing was part of Series handsets back then. Can the back cover be removed for your S23?



  • The devices are improving. I’ve had my 13 Pro for a little over 2 years. I have the original battery with 85 percent battery health. I keep it in a clear case and have a screen protector. I’ve dropped it apseveral times including on a brick floor. The device including the screen came out of it without any discernible damage.
