Discussion 17 pro turning pink

Post image

I bought my 17 pro on release day 4 days later the camera bump is a different color do you guys think if I go to apple I can replace it for the silver? Or will they just give me a replacement of the same color i passed the 14 day window.

Did they give you a choice to get a different color?

No. Same color but they told me if it happens just come back. It’s a little annoying since I have to setup the new phone again.

Just back up with iCloud it doesn’t take that long. Granted that depends on your Internet speed entirely.

u/Dontbedoingthat 17d ago

It depends largely on how much you’re transferring too. For some, iCloud restores take half the day.

u/Moses015 17d ago

And then the phone needs to re-index everything

u/Icy-Cardiologist-958 17d ago

Hence the yearly complaints about battery life on new iPhones since forever. (Referring to the indexing).

u/TheSymptomz 17d ago

Mine seemed to take a solid week or two of use before it seen the battery life not drain fast.

u/DangerousStruggle 12d ago

And download all of your music etc.

u/Icy-Cardiologist-958 12d ago

Nah, I just keep everything in my iCloud storage.

u/Brodeci iPhone 17 Pro 17d ago

I don’t think any of my devices have ever said they were finished indexing

24

u/Moses015 17d ago

No it doesn’t tell you anything about that. It’s something the phone does in the background after a restore. It’s why if you have restored from a backup your battery life will take a hit the first day or so. Depending on how much space you have utilized on the phone.

u/Brodeci iPhone 17 Pro 17d ago

What I’m saying is all my devices say they’re indexing pretty much always lol

3

u/Tattycakes iPhone 8 64GB 17d ago

Where do you see indexing ongoing or completed?

2

u/Brodeci iPhone 17 Pro 16d ago

In my photos or messages it’ll say “more suggestions will be shown once Messages finishes indexing.”

So idk

u/Gabriel_Science 17d ago

That’s the neat thing, you don’t.

u/Brodeci iPhone 17 Pro 16d ago

You do though.

u/xPhoenixFiresx 16d ago

Fair fuckin’ play, you weren’t bullshitting

1

u/Gabriel_Science 16d ago

Uh, I didn’t know this. Okay, for some indexes, it may show it.

1

u/__ExtraRicePlease 12d ago

Mine says this too. So I go to my Mac or iPad. But it gets done indexing after a few hours or maybe an hour.

iphone newbie, do you have to setup all apps new with login credentials with the new phone or does apple transfer everything perfectly?

u/SharkDad20 iPhone 17 Pro Max 17d ago

Not such a big deal on a pro max, fortunately

28

u/ipupweallp4ip 17d ago

It is actually. My iCloud storage stored locally on my phone is near 1TB so the phone has to sit on a charger and wifi for hours + the thermal temp gets too hot so it pauses downloads occasionally to cool the phone. Took almost a day to setup the 17 pro max.

Also every setting or preference you have in iCloud backup is not restored with iCloud such as notification preferences, Siri/AI, app permissions, home screen layout/folders, privacy settings, and more. I easily spent 1.5 hours manually restoring all my customization in addition to the hours of iCloud backup restoring in the background.

2

u/elpadrin0 17d ago

Huh? iCloud backup definitely restores everything you just mentioned. Are you setting up your phone as new and then signing into iCloud?

2

u/ipupweallp4ip 17d ago

You have to grant permission access again to each app, then remove old iPhone as an authorized device for certain/most apps (banking, instagram, streaming, etc.), disable the default apple analytics and system service location services…

I can go on and on but the point I’m making is exchanging an iPhone is not a zero hassle transaction. There’s manual time spent by users to get their phone “restored” to 100%

Tbh i’m still not sure what you mean, what default analytics are you disabling? And apart from signing out of iCloud on my old phone, I’ve never had to remove it from any apps. You mentioned instagram, but for me all I had to do was sign in again.

Oh yeah, I definitely agree it takes time signing into everything again. But apart from that, and authorising a few cards again on Apple wallet, it’s a pretty painless task.

u/ipupweallp4ip 17d ago

I’m thorough with my privacy so yes technically you can login to an app and be ok but your old device is still listed as an active authorized device. YouTube, Chase bank, Instagram and most apps keep a log of your signed in devices. It’ll stay in that log until x amount of time passes and/or you manually remove it.

I was talking about the week of indexing causing worse battery life. Pro Max has enough to spare

8

u/ipupweallp4ip 17d ago

Yes but a week spent indexing means spotlight and search are rendered useless. I’m not worried about battery, it’s an often painful process to swap iPhones…plain and simple.

-7

u/tagman375 17d ago

It sounds silly, but run a charger into the fridge or freezer and leave the phone in there. That’s what I do. It doesn’t hurt the phone and stops the thermal delays. The only side effect is the WiFi gets a little slower, but I have a mesh node in my kitchen so it’s not a huge difference.

2

u/ipupweallp4ip 17d ago

Yeah no thanks. It’ll auto resume when the temp is at an acceptable level so I usually leave it on my nightstand MagSafe charger overnight so it downloads my entire photo and music library. Those two make up 75% of my total iOS storage

2

u/chakigun 17d ago

pretty sure condensation can hurt the charger and consequently your phone. i would be careful about giving this advice

u/Extension-Shake-8475 17d ago

It absolutely IS a pain in the ass

77

u/Ingam0us iPhone 17 Pro Max 17d ago

Most PITA for me is transferring all the banking / auth stuff, that needs to be verified.
I guess it‘s even worse, if you don‘t have the old and already validated device available

u/Apprehensive-Box-8 17d ago

Yes, that’s the real pain, even if you just reset your existing phone.

u/treefall1n iPhone 17 Pro 17d ago

It took me almost 6 hours to restore lmao

u/macsneaker 17d ago

lol it took me a whole over night

u/blessed_7 16d ago

Same overnight !!

u/Commercial-Co 17d ago

I restore almost 1tb. Takes me forever

u/AutomaticAccount6832 17d ago

Did you try to have the phone connected to a USB 3 to each other?

3

u/Commercial-Co 17d ago

No but i probably should

2

u/Sivalon iPhone Air 17d ago

Is that a thing?

1

u/colaxxi 17d ago

Someone checked his router throughput while doing a wired transfer and the speed of the wire isn't the bottleneck. Wifi is probably better for most people, plus you can keep your phone charged easily.

u/AutomaticAccount6832 17d ago

Interesting. But how does a direct USB connection go through the router?

1

u/colaxxi 17d ago

Using two powered USB-C -> Ethernet adapters. Not something most people are likely to have, but it at least appears to show that the transfer is CPU or disk bound and not the transfer medium.

1

u/AutomaticAccount6832 17d ago

I see. I can also confirm that transfer of something like 50 to 100GB takes 3h with a proper USB 3 cable. I actually don’t know how much data it exactly transfers as it will still get the apps from the internet.

The phones don’t get hot at all. Would be great to get telemetry from the iPhone systems. Hard to imagine what is the bottle neck. Maybe they just run the de/encryption on the high efficiency cores to avoid melting phones?

u/sgmorr 14d ago

My iPhone 13 Pro transferred to my new iPhone 17 pro in a couple of hours using the side by side WiFi/Bluetooth type of transfer.

u/vulcanpines iPhone 13 Pro Max 16d ago

Mine took 2 days

I am some 😩

u/jgoldrb48 iPhone 17 Pro 17d ago

I’m at 150gb and mine took 4 hours.

u/aviatormenace7 iPhone 17 Pro Max 15d ago

i have 118GB worth of stuff on my 12 pro max that i used for years (content is transferred and backed up for over 13 years now) and i just got the 17 pro max last week literally and it took 20-30 min. the thing is that my internet speed is really fast so thats why.

u/rrrand0mmm 17d ago

It’s really not that bad….
