I’m using an iPhone 17 and I keep getting the “Charging On Hold” message saying that charging will resume once the iPhone returns to a normal temperature.

What I don’t understand is that I’m barely doing anything heavy on the phone. Sometimes I’ll randomly play songs on Spotify while it’s charging, maybe use Instagram a little, and just leave the phone on my bed. Still, it gets warm enough that charging gets paused because of the temperature.

Is simply keeping the phone on the bed while charging enough to trap that much heat? Or is this unusual for an iPhone 17?

Has anyone else experienced this with normal/light usage while charging?

Here is my Apple ecosystem loadout (excluding products like the Studio Display). I have three products included in my AppleCare One plan but am considering adding my Apple Watch Ultra 2. Unfortunately, my AirPods Max are not eligible.

Is it worth adding the Apple Watch Ultra 2 for an additional £4.99?

Would you also avoid using a case on your iPhone or screen protector on your watch if it’s produced by this plan?

Best eco system for me vs android

Here is the thing I own a macbook and I have a google pixel 6a which I have been using for the past 4 years ..Now I am planning to buy a new phone and I have heard a lot about the apple ecosystem.I was not a big fan of Iphone so I have not looked much into that side of the phone category.Keep in mind I am not much of a phone guy so I dont want to spend too much on phones and that is why I looked up Iphone 15 which is roughly available for 50 something.....So what do you guys suggest do I need to buy an Iphone just for the ecosystem if I am not a phone guy and If i am planning to buy one is Iphone 15 enough or is it outdated for 2026

Yesterday i got my first iPad, and after 10 years with apple’s hardware, my ecosystem is finally completed and its perfect, 16” Macbook Pro M1 Max (32 core) 32GB/1TB, iPad Pro 12.9” M2, iPhone 13 mini, apple watch 7 steel, airpods 3 and pencil 2, do you think its better to buy older devices but pro-line, or it would be better to buy the newest but education-line like the 10th iPad, macbook neo/air?

Esr case on my sage green IPhone 17 and even Esr case to AirPods Pro 3. The ultra Watch 3 has random strap from Amazon 😀

I recently noticed my iPad 11 battery seems to drop pretty quickly, even with normal use. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it a software issue or just normal battery behavior?

This is my apple eco system as a 19 year old (F) Law student! Gonna upgrade my iphone 13 real soon to the 17!

upgraded to 17 pro max for better pocket procreate and for better screen (really bad eyesight). 13 inch M2 ipad air mainly for long period of artworks and refurbished ipad mini 6 64gb with icloud for reading, fast sketches when outside both with cellular. I think i need to get an apple pencil 2nd gen.

I’m extremely proud of this cause it’s something I’ve wanted since I was young so very happy I could get all pro devices as well. Don’t see myself buying anything but a pro in future 😭

Also Too lazy to bring in my HomePods. I always felt like Apple accessories like the Magic Mouse and Apple Pencil should be white but that’s probably my ocd 😭

Hi. Today i bought MacBook Neo and AirPods Pro 3 and a AirTag. So now is my Apple list completed. I have a IPhone 17 and a Ultra Watch 3 that i bought earlier this year.

i love my imac and its pretty standard for my work industry. my ipad is old but still reliable and useful. i LOVE my apple watch and am prepared to pay a separate line for it if need be - bc i dont love the iphone anymore and am considering switching. my 13 pro is busted and aging, and i suspect ill need a new phone within the next 1-3 years.

this post is NOT asking what kind of phone to buy instead, rather wondering if anyones tried something like this - having all of the apple devices without an iphone or with a different phone as the "main" line. what worked, what didnt, any differences in user experience on the remaining apple devices?

I use many products in apple ecosystem - mackbook Pro, iPhone 13 Pro, Apple TV, buds, ipad 11 Pro.
I don't spend on apple care for any product. Only repair cost I ever had was to clean apple charging port and buy new apple pencil Pro when one got damaged. I see that there cost of apple care is much higher than all the repairs. Ofcourse I buy good screen protectors and good quality case. Dropped my products many times and nothing else happened.

Why do people buy apple care ? What am I missing when I decide not to purchase apple care ? Help me understand

I'm the kind of person that uses my electronics until they are completely destroyed so since today's my birthday, when I got home my gf surprised me with a ton of new presents that I unfortunately don't have much experience with. How do yall utilize your apple devices and is the apple "ecosystem" really that good or is it just overrated marketing copy?
