**How-to force restart iPhone 15, enable recovery mode, DFU mode, and everything else [Video]**

https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/09/Force-restart-iPhone-15-recovery-mode-DFU.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600

Apple recently released four new models in its iPhone lineup: the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Like all iPhones that Apple sells these days, with the exception of the iPhone SE 2, it features an “edge to edge” display, and lacks the physical Home button that iPhones were associated with for years.

For modern iOS devices, you’ll utilize the Volume buttons and Side button to facilitate actions like force restarts, entering recovery mode and DFU mode, etc. Watch our hands-on video walkthrough for the details, and be sure to subscribe to _9to5Mac_ on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/c/9to5mac?sub_confirmation=1) for more videos.

**Poll: Should Apple abandon FineWoven iPhone 15 cases?**

https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/09/finewoven-parker.webp?w=1600

We all know the deal by now. Apple replaced its leather accessories with a new material it calls FineWoven. The idea is that getting out of the leather game at Apple’s scale lowers the company’s carbon footprint. So far, so good. But FineWoven hasn’t been a clear winner. Do you think the initial reaction has been overblown, or is FineWoven really as bad as its critics say?

**iPhone Diary: Testing the 5x telephoto lens on the iPhone 15 Pro Max for portraits**

https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/09/5x-telephoto.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600

A busy time meant that my first test of the new 5x telephoto lens on the iPhone 15 Pro Max (https://9to5mac.com/guides/iphone-15-pro-max/) was nothing more than a quick 3x versus 5x comparison shot from my apartment as part of a first impressions piece (https://9to5mac.com/2023/09/22/first-impressions-of-the-iphone-15-pro-max/).

Yesterday, I got the chance to see how useful the new lens is for portraits – from the purely optical bokeh seen above, to testing iOS 17’s newfound ability to automatically add depth data, letting you adjust focus after taking the photo …

A cybersecurity (https://9to5mac.com/guides/security/) company says that iPhone scalpers seeking to profit from early demand for iPhone 15 (https://9to5mac.com/guides/iphone-15/) models used bots to make millions of dollars’ worth of purchases from the Apple website as soon as orders went live.

The activity is lucrative for scalpers – who are able to resell the devices for hundreds of dollars over the retail price to those who are otherwise facing long delays to order through Apple – but in turn increase the waiting time for legitimate customers …

The iPhone 15 Pro is now in the hands of many consumers around the world, and since then, we’ve seen multiple complaints about overheating problems (https://9to5mac.com/2023/09/26/iphone-15-overheating/). Earlier this week, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggested that these problems may be caused by design compromises (https://9to5mac.com/2023/09/26/iphone-15-pro-overheating-updates-fix/), and new reports from _Bloomberg_ and _WSJ_ reveal that the problem may be worse than it seems.

**Apple TV+ playback glitch causing episodes to cut off ending, credits play first**

https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2022/10/apple-tv-plus-shadowy-header.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600

The Apple TV+ (https://tinyurl.com/getappletvplus) service is currently experiencing a glitch which is affecting playback of content on the service. Inexplicably, the foreign language dubbing credits that are usually inserted at the end of a show are being played first as the ‘intro’. There’s also a related issue where affected episodes end too soon, meaning viewers often miss the climax of the final scene.

Apple’s long-running, often-maligned Apple Car project (https://9to5mac.com/2022/07/11/apple-car-design-jony-ive-more/) is once again said to be falling apart. A new report today from Ming-Chi Kuo says that Project Titan (https://9to5mac.com/guides/apple-car/) “seems to have lost all visibility at the moment.” This leads Kuo to believe that Apple is likely nowhere close to actually debuting a car to the public.

https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/09/wallet-app-icon-generic.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600

Apple has announced the soft launch of a new integration today that is powered by the United Kingdom’s Open Banking API. The Wallet app will now be able to show the user’s current account balance from their bank, as well as a history of deposits and payments. This includes balances for credit and debit cards. The balances will also be shown inline when buying something with Apple Pay, helping users be more financially aware about whether they can responsibly afford the purchase.

This integration is rolling out as part of an upcoming iOS 17 developer beta. It will be available to a subset of Wallet app users in the UK, who have an Apple Pay credit or debit card associated with a supporting bank.

The Wallet app will now be able to show the user’s current account balance from their bank, as well as a history of deposits and payments. This includes balances for credit and debit cards. The balances will also be shown inline when buying something with Apple Pay, helping users be more financially aware about whether they can responsibly afford the purchase.

This integration is rolling out first as part of the upcoming iOS 17.1 developer beta. It will be available to a subset of Wallet app users in the UK, who have an Apple Pay credit or debit card associated with a supporting bank.

Apple on Tuesday released macOS Sonoma to the public (https://9to5mac.com/2023/09/26/macos-sonoma-release/), and the update brings multiple new features – including some minor ones. One thing users have probably noticed after installing the update is the new “Click wallpaper to reveal desktop” option that comes enabled by default and, as the name suggests, it hides all windows when you click on the wallpaper.

If you’re annoyed by this new feature, don’t worry, there’s a way to turn it off.

https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/09/apple-watch-double-tap.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600

One of the biggest (and one of the only) new features for Apple Watch Series 9 (https://9to5mac.com/2023/09/12/apple-watch-series-9/) and Apple Watch Ultra 2 won’t (https://9to5mac.com/2023/09/12/new-apple-watch-ultra-2/) be available when the devices launch next week.

https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/09/iphone-14-pro-refocus-portrait-mode.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600

During the September keynote event, Apple touted a whole bunch of new Portrait mode features for the iPhone 15 series, like automatic capture of Portrait mode shots while using the main shooting mode in the Camera app and the ability to change the subject in focus in the Portrait mode shot after you have taken it.

Well, it turns out that at least some of that stuff is also coming to older phones too. Twitter user Dylan pointed out (https://x.com/dylanmcd8/status/1701993936061915382?s=46&t=_guXSi5M2ahQzbe2kpf7Gg) that on the iOS 17 release candidate build, iPhone 14 Pro users can also refocus their Portrait mode shots after they have been taken.

https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/09/15pm.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600

Now that the dust has settled from Apple’s Wonderlust event we can take a longer, hands-on look at the iPhone 15 lineup and see what it is all about. At first glance, the iPhone looks relatively similar to last year’s lineup of iPhones. But if we start to dig into the features, design, and cameras, the picture really starts to shine. The 15 Pro Max, especially, has a lot going for it. Here are 15 reasons why the iPhone 15 Pro Max is a worthy upgrade.

**iPhone 15 supports Qi2 for wireless charging… but no one knows what that means**

https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/09/IMG_5293.jpeg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600

Apple has confirmed that the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro support the new Qi2 standard for wireless charging. The question, however, is what this actually means for iPhone 15 users. As of right now, this seems like a question no one really has an answer to…

**You can charge your Apple Watch or AirPods using the new iPhone 15’s USB-C port**

https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/09/iphone-15-charge-usb-c.webp?w=1600

The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro ditch (https://9to5mac.com/2023/09/12/hands-on-iphone-15-pro-new-design-features/) Apple’s proprietary Lightning connector in favor of USB-C, and that change has a few side effects. Perhaps most notably, you can now use the iPhone 15’s USB-C port to quickly add more juice to your Apple Watch or AirPods.

**iPhone Diary: As expected, the camera improvements sold me an iPhone 15 Pro Max**

https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/09/iPhone-15-Pro-Max-–-iPhone-Diary.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1500

Yep, I’m now a fully paid-up member of the Annual iPhone Upgrade Club. As of the iPhone X, I’ve upgraded every year to the iPhone 11 (https://9to5mac.com/guides/iphone-11-pro-diary/), 12 (https://9to5mac.com/guides/iphone-12-diary/), 13 (https://9to5mac.com/guides/iphone-13-diary/), and 14 (https://9to5mac.com/guides/iphone-14-diary/).

As usual, it’s the camera improvements that sold me on the new model (https://9to5mac.com/guides/iphone-15-pro-max/) – even though I’m _fairly sure_ I’ll never actually use two of the biggest new features …
