if I go the liquid cleaner route, I'm guessing I would just pour it down the toilet drain

And what is the battery health level (maximum capacity)?

I guess it was “my turn”.
I was at Home Depot looking at my email last night to find my pickup confirmation info. Put my phone down to get my ID out and got my phone off the counter and the screen was black and the phone was unresponsive. Did the reset and got my phone to reset and it’s working again.

At least with our iDevices, everything is backed up via iCloud -- so even if some update killed it, would just be a simple reformat and restore.

Now when updates come out I walk around the house and make sure everyone is doing it asap.

No issues with either of our Xrs -- close to 1 year old -- and one gets *serious* teenager use. Unreal.

Mine says it can't back up to the cloud because there isn't enough space regardless of how many items I delete. When I go to "buy" more space it only offers a monthly plan instead of me just paying for it once a year. So my iPhone never backs up.

I think that’s the only option, unless you already have a yearly plan. Then it’s grandfathered in.
