I built a small iPhone app that made its first $30. Here’s what’s actually passive and what isn’t

I wanted to share a small but real result from a mobile app I built. The app is called **Spending Pulse**. It’s an iPhone + Apple Watch app that helps answer one question: **how much can I safely spend today** based on current balance, recurring/planned expenses and income, and daily spending. So far it has made its first **$30**. That is obviously not life-changing money, but it is real mone...

I used Claude to help me build a safe-to-spend app, escape Apple Watch development hell, and make my first $30

Hey r/ClaudeCode , I wanted to give Claude a genuine shoutout because it sped up development of my app way more than I expected. I was initially pretty skeptical about the whole "vibe coding" hype, but now I can confidently say that I’m converted. The app is called **Spending Pulse**. I knew Claude Code could speed up development, but not to this extent. Going from an idea to someth...

Should I give up my headphones?

Hi everyone! Looking for an opinion. :( My green AirPods Max, which I paid $900 AUD for, have started to show the following issues after two years: 1. Broken microphone. 2. Right side constantly disconnecting. 3. Loud random interference: This is the most concerning one. There is a super loud interference noise on the right side that is almost painful. It started happening occasionally but has...

Apple Watch series 5 battery replacement process

I want to replace the battery for my Apple Watch series 5, since it does everything I need and I don't feel like buying a new model will make a difference. The thing is that the nearest Apple Store is a little over 3 hours away and I don't know if the drive time is worth, the questions is if there is a difference between going to an Apple Store and sending it by mail. Is one option faster than t...

The installer information on the recovery server is damaged

Hi there friends, seems like I ran into an issue with my old Mac book pro a1708. I was in the process of reinstalling Mac OS and I ran into an error about the installer information on the recovery server is damaged.

Airpods Max 2 Experience

Own Airpods Max (1st gen, lightning) and picked up Airpods Max 2 over the weekend, in-person, from the Apple Store. Immediately upgraded them to the latest firmware. Also ensured my Mac and iPhone are updated to the latest versions as well. Have not experienced any of the battery drain, ANC, or build issues (i.e. rattling, etc) so far. The ANC is quite a bit better than my older APMs and the s...

iphone 17 pro max battery is awful

My phone’s battery has been acting up for the past three months. there’s random idle battery drain, as well as the battery decreases super fast during minimal use, with brightness on low. I’ve tried everything from factory resetting the phone to force restarting it and resetting settings to default, but nothing fixes the random battery drain. The diagnostics showed no issues with the phone. ...

Clarification request about preregistration on PC

If anyone or someone from the PR team could answer I'd aplreciate it. My understanding is that preregistering to a store like the apple store or google store gets you a bonus. I want to play on pc. You can also preorder on pc but we don't know where the client will be released (steam? Epic?) so there is no store preorder. How would I get the preregistration bonus on pc? Should I regist...

ANC not working on Max 2

Hi all, I am having a very frustrating experience with APMs. I have been enjoying the APM USB C version for about 15 months without much issues, until last month when they decided to brick out out of nowhere (3 amber lights of death). Conveniently, this was around the same time as the APM 2 released, and I was already out of warranty so I went ahead and purchased the APM 2. However, I noticed th...

Updating iPhone with broken Apple ID (locked), good or risky?

Hi everyone, Last August my Apple ID got locked and support has told us that there was no way to get my Appe ID unlocked again. While I can do an activation unlock, I understand that I would then lose most data. An Apple Store employee advised that I should update my phone as some things might work better then (I'm still on iOS 25) but I'm worried that some update functions might not work with m...

Where to go after iphone 13 mini?

Hey everyone, I'm one of the few people that actually like small phones and, form-factorwise, 13 mini was perfect. I'm now starting to feel the phone age a little bit and just recently had the battery and screen replaced. I'm ready for an upgrade, but small phones are dead now which is fine. While I was getting my battery replaced at apple I picked up the 17 pro and felt 6.3 inches is tolerable....
