Looks like IOS 18.5 is adding pride wallpaper to your phone. I don't think it forces the wallpaper up, but apparently you can't delete it.

Seems like a bad time for a company to force progressive politics on us. I'd put this up there with forcing the worst band in the world's album upon us

I think apple adds a new pride/leftist wallpaper with every update to the watch/phone. I've had the same wallpaper of my kids when they were 4/5 for going on 20 years now, not a big deal. I accept that Apple is run by marxists but it's still the best phone/tablet to use.

Yeah, I like U2 just fine, but installing it in my iPod and not letting me delete it was annoying.

As for a company forcing progressive politics, no company should force their politics on anyone, period. Unfortunately, Tim Cook is in charge of the largest Zero-F*cks given company in the world. I mean, Tim is taking his business to India, instead of bringing it to the US because, again, when you're the biggest, you can show just how Zero F*cks you give, even to a POTUS.

Also, why are conservatives still buying ANY Apple products? I remember years ago folks on here saying they never had, or never again would buy anything Apple because Apple has no fear of showing its liberalism.

U2 was forced on us and it popped up right asking.

Does this wallpaper?

I have no clue, I've been Samsung Galaxy since day one. I always find it funny when iPhone users get all excited about some features and I think to myself, "That's funny, my phone's had that for years now."

Bragging about having had gay wallpaper for years is weird. But you do you.

I don't care where the phone is made as long as it's affordable. Make it in the US and not charge me 4,000 bucks, fine. But if you have to keep it foreign to keep the price down, do it.

I am conservative and I won't purchase anything but iPhone. My business can't afford to have a phone crap out like every Android device I've ever owned. I make a living with it. Since 2007, I've owned two androids because I wanted to "experiment" both failed in a year or so. Since 2007, I've had exactly one iPhone have some unusual failure and Apple stood behind it. We use Apple products because they are good and they just work. When my phone needs upgrading, I order a new iPhone without any other consideration.

As for Apple adopting old tech and treating it like it's new, my androids were a great example of half baked technology. Fingerprint scanners were all the rage with Android once. They didn't work worth a flip u til Apple rolled it out. I feel like all new technology on my android phones was like getting octagonal shaped wheels. They rolled, but they weren't fast or refined and they were prone to breaking in half . Then, Apple busts in with BFG KO2 on 20" Chrome wheels and all the Android guys are start crying "but we had wheels first!"


You can change the wallpaper to whatever you like. The pride paper has been on these devices for many updates. It's not new right now.

Nothing screams "conservative" like an administration trying to strong arm companies into bending to their will.

Sounds like you should have researched and bought better android phones if you had that kind of luck.

Might be a step down to using an android phone, but at least you can sleep better knowing that you're supporting google, a bastion of freedom and conservatism, instead of evil apple.

I thought that comment was funny too since Google is just as bad, if not worse than Apple about all that stuff.

My iPhone did tell me the other day after the update that it was delaying charging so that it could do clean energy charging later.

I went in the settings and turned that silliness off.

How does the iPhone know it's "clean" energy? What a load of crap.

Yeah, I guess so. Maybe it was always turned off on my phone until the latest update.

This is the explanation. Maybe they're single-handedly saving the planet. I have my doubts though, especially since I opted out.

I appreciate the opinion but that's another reason I don't use Android anymore. I got to Apple. I buy the phone in the size with features I want. It works. I don't have to research 32 different devices and read 4,000 reviews to see which ones have bugs and which don't and which have technology that is reliable and functional. My devices were Samsung and they came well reviewed, they just fell short of expectations. In fact, many of the "cool" features ended up being bupassed since they didn't work reliably anyway. The fingerprint thing was a big one. Apple didn't have it….and there was a reason for that.

The tradeoff for the quality is a locked down system. That's not everyone's cup of tea but I'm ok with it. I get regular updates direct from Apple. It's not that they don't have any issues, they due sometimes, but they are easily fixed and Apple stands behind it well. I was moving horses in an emergency situation dropped my phone and then ran it over with the trailer. I took the shattered phone to Apple to pay for a new one and they said "it's still under warranty. We'll swap it out." Samsung always said "take it to the carrier and let them deal with it."

This ticked me off when I went to check on the update. I tells you all about this pride wallpaper and then gives the totally useless "and important security fixes" like they always include.

How about providing a link to the release notes with details about the stupid wallpaper AND actual details about the stuff that matters like security and bug fixes, new features, etc...!
