Hi Apple Team & Everyone,
Can someone guide me why sending 'diskutil eraseDisk APFS "WIPED" GPT /dev/disk0' command via terminal to remove/wipe the main physical drive (disk0) is failed?
I tried booting into recovery mode, but it still didn’t work. The command returned the following error:
Started erase on disk0
Unmounting disk
The volume on disk0 couldn't be unmounted because it is in use by process 0 (kernel).
Error: -69877: Couldn't open device
I understand that we can use Disk Utility (GUI) to unmount and erase the drive. Is it possible to perform this operation via Terminal to erase disk0?
I would appreciate any guidance on this.
Regards,
Winson

Hi everyone,
I updated my iPhone 16 Pro to iOS 26 beta and my Apple Watch to watchOS 26 beta because I wanted to test out the new features. After a few days of testing, I found the iOS 26 beta too unstable and laggy for daily use, so I downgraded my iPhone back to iOS 18.5 stable.
Now my Apple Watch is still running watchOS 26 beta. I tried resetting it to factory settings, hoping that would help, but now I can’t pair it back to my iPhone because it requires iOS 26 again — which I don’t want to reinstall and don't want to use it till it's stable.
Is there any way to downgrade my Apple Watch back to a stable version or somehow pair it again with my iPhone running iOS 18.5?
Thanks in advance for any help!

I'm working on my submission for the Swift Student Challenge and I have some questions regarding the use of existing code.
Can I use code provided by Apple in their official resources? For example, Apple recently shared a video on custom shaders (https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2024/10151), and I’d like to implement a ripple effect using a Metal shader similar to the one demonstrated. Would this be allowed?
Am I allowed to use solutions found on developer forums like Stack Overflow, as long as I properly document and reference them in my code? Or does all the code need to be fully original?
I’d appreciate any clarification on these points. Thanks in advance!
Backup and restore Personal IOS data to a Supervised device?
We currently have around 200+ iPhone users that are using their devices as personal devices. We are planning on moving them to Intune using Automated Device Enrollment (Supervised).
Is it any way possible to backup their devices, do a factory reset, enroll them in Intune, then restore the old data?
Is it possible to do backup and restore in this situation? Is there an alternative way to restore the data back to a supervised device?

Hi folks,
First - I'm not a developer.
Some time ago I came across Sequoia Beta and installed it thinking it was just a usage data collection thing.
I recently wanted to delete it because I suspected it was causing other issues, but was only offered to have updates stopped.
My MacBook Pro M2 still says I'm running Sequoia 15.3 (Beta 24D5034f).
I have another, maybe unrelated issue and posted a question about it on Apple Community but the question was deleted and I was pointed here because I mentioned the Beta!
This was my question:
I can FaceTime from the iPhone but when I try to FaceTime from the Mac, I get a notification on the Mac saying:
"iPhone calls not available. Your iPhone is not configured to allow calls using this Mac".
My iPhone is a 14Plus on iOS 18.2.1 (22C161).
I've tried the iPhone and Mac fixes suggested by Apple but no luck there - that was all about turning iMessages and FaceTime off or signing out for both devices, then power cycling both devices.
I don't understand how this is supposed to work.
Could my issue be related to the Beta?
If so, and in any case, how do I remove the Beta?
TIA
I noticed the water lock feature isn’t in the control center after updating to WatchOS 26

Hi, I just bought iPhone few days ago, switched from Android after long time, the first thing I noticed is that refresh rate/frame rate is not constant for some reason. Android phones are having those 120 hz all the time but for some reason iPhone drops it In some situations which makes no sense at all, I want consistency in smoothness , I want phone to be same smooth all the tome, not that it changes it self depended on situation. I think you should just give us a option where we can choose to have variable refresh rate(because of saving power) or constant refresh rate (smoothest experience). Also what I noticed when I am in video call everything is perfectly smooth as it should be, once I end the video call the difference is noticeable immediately. Thanks in advance. Please consider this, Im 100% sure that Im not the only one who seeks for this option.

Beta Update Feedback: iOS 18.3
The iOS 18.3 beta update has been a deeply frustrating experience due to numerous critical issues that severely impact the device's functionality. Below is a detailed report of the problems encountered:
All major social applications, including WhatsApp, Instagram, and Photos, consistently crash. When launching these apps, the screen often turns dark before reverting to the home screen. This issue persists across other third-party and native apps, making the device unusable for basic tasks.
The system frequently hangs, failing to process basic operations effectively. Restarting the device is often the only temporary solution; however, even after multiple restarts, the issues remain unresolved.
Significant charging drops are observed, and the device intermittently fails to recognize the charger. Charging efficiency has drastically decreased, creating inconvenience for daily usage.
The Photos app is riddled with bugs, making it nearly impossible to use. Basic functions such as viewing, editing, or sharing photos do not work properly.
Every aspect of the update feels unstable, with issues cropping up in every corner of the system. The phone’s functionality has deteriorated, so it no longer performs as expected.
Device Affected: iPhone 13
Impact Level: Severe
This update has caused immense frustration and has made the iPhone 13 difficult.
The iPhone XS Max and Garmin watch pairing cannot use BLE to send Scan Response; it can only send BLE advertisements. May I ask if this is a limitation of the Apple system? So far, we have tested several iPhone models, and only the iPhone XS Max has this issue. We are not sure if other untested models have the same problem.

Hey everyone,
I'm currently working on Carplay intergration in my audio app. While exploring Apple Music on carplay, i found this kind of display:
This is a grid of items in a list (i'm on iOS 18 when testing this), but i didn't find anything in developer documentation that would allow me to have this kind of display.
Is this something apple specific, or can i achieve this ? I tried using the grid template but it's not as pretty, nor as flexible as this.
Thanks for your help !
Due to it's new UI with transprent theme, sometimes its lacked between switching the apps.
Please add AI eraser in photos app so that we can experience new ai tool.
Due to india region, unable to use wallet options, Please add some options so that we can add cards and use this option.
Hey everyone anyone having any issues with some apps not loading or opening since upgrading
iPhone 16 Pro Max on iOS 18.5 before installing iOS 26 beta had no issues connecting to wired (there’s no wireless) CarPlay in my 2022 Honda Civic Sport. Now with IOS 26, my car recognizes that my phone is connected and asks if I want to use CarPlay and I click yes but it does nothing. I reset my head unit, reset all iPhone settings, checked different iPhone settings, tried different cables, can’t seem to determine what part of iOS 26 is causing the problem. Anyone have any ideas before I roll back to 18.5?
Why can’t Apple just release a version that put the most frequent used emoticons in the most left side of the emoticons keyboard???
Each person always uses the same 20 or 30 emoticons.
How this could be reported to developers?
Thx
