As mentioned panoramic images can go up to 60+ MP, because images are stitched together horizontally. MP count is relative to image size, so the MP count goes up.

Not so much looked over, it’s just out of normal case use for most users. But I also don’t see any harm in having more default options.

But anyway, you can use Zoom or Reduce White Point to achieve this dimmed display, with the latter being a bit easier, but both can be made very accessible with Accessibility Shortcut.

For the latter, go to Settings > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut and select Reduce White Point. Then go to Accessibility > Display & Text Size - then toggle Reduce White Point on, and set it to 100% or whatever level you require. Now you can just triple press the side button to toggle it on and off.

You can do the same with Zoom as well with Accessibility Shortcut, but with a few extra steps. You can even add both to Shortcut, and choose which one you want to use.

With Zoom, you can three finger triple tap the screen and toggle the filter there as well, with the popup menu.

No. The modem is not part of SoC. iPhone 13 uses the Qualcomm X60 modem, 14 the X65 and 15 the X70. There’s only 1 modem, used for all connections 4G or 5G or whatever, but mmWave has a separate chip. 5G might reduce battery life because … well it requires more battery.

No they’re just people. Some people break phones, some don’t. Being a celeb doesn’t make you immune to phone breakage. XD What is this.

Nope. You will need the device in your possession. Either in store inspection OR they will get you to run some diagnostics/checks remotely. Can’t do that if you don’t have phone.

It’s tribalism. Don’t get sucked into it, if you care you’re already on the way there. They’re just phones, I enjoy them but I’m not going champion any as being NUMBER WAN! lol

It’s most likely compacted with lint, stopping the cable from inserting in all the way. It usually compacts right at the back. You can use a sturdy toothpick or blunt tweezers or a paperclip even to clear it. Use a spritz of IPA alcohol into the port to loosen it up first.

And the pins lie at different angles, it’s very easy to think you’re missing pins, when it’s just the light reflecting differently off them. They’re probably fine, it takes a lot to dislodge them. Again it’s probably just lint and debris buildup.
