My guess is this is apples way of forcing you to buy new products.

all of my apple devices are 2+ years old.

THIS IS BS

If you believe what you just posted then sell all of your Apple gear and move to a different platform. Why would you want to continue doing business with a company you claim are liars, unethical con artists, and trying to force you to spend money? Please explain.

Well, without any video to view or get a clue as to what’s happening you’ll need to contact Apple Support.


Please have Apple perform diagnostics on your iPhone. It can be done in person at an Apple Retail Store or at an Apple Authorized Service Provider. You can also contact Apple Support and request remote diagnostics.


If you’re in the US please call  1-800-MY-APPLE or outside the US, consult the support articles below.

I’ve an iPhone XR I use for a second camera and stream with it just fine. So guess again, because my XR will be 7 years old in October. So I really doubt your conclusion of forcing updates and I’m really suspicious of your claim of streaming at 1 frame per second. How about a link to the video or at a minimum a screenshot of your Stats for Nerds showing your frame rate.

I’m having the same issue. Very very frustrating. Support has physically gone into my phone to see the issue and tell me it’s the web site platforms I’m streaming problem.

my friend in Russia and I’m in Canada has updated his I phone and tried to broadcast with the same results.

so this is not a web site problem it’s an iso problem.

any solutions ??? Love to hear please.
