    Other What can someone do to you if they know your iCloud email address?

    Hello. Just a question regarding the use of your iCloud/iPhones and it's security. These days, people do almost everything on their phones. It has your photos, your emails, iCloud backups, passwords, etc. Assuming you've got 2FA enabled (which is a no-brainer these days), how likely is it...

    iPhone 12 Pro Max When do you sell your current IPhone?

    We are now in August and I can’t help but think that now might be the best time for me to sell my IPhone 12 Pro Max. We all know once the next IPhone gets announced the value of our current IPhone plummets. I have an old IPhone 8 Plus in a draw and it might be interesting to use that for a month...

    Do you feel "What happens on your iPhone stays on your iPhone" is false advertising?

    Let's see the real size of that "screeching minority" and let's see what percentage believes that "one 1 in 3 trillion false positives" and "slightly edited images are also detected" can be true at the same time.

    SIM Failure after updating to 14.7

    Hi there. Yesterday I finally got around to updating to 14.7 (full release of course, not beta). Immediately after doing so, when my phone rebooted, I get repeated "SIM Failure" popups and have no cell service. The good news, I suppose, is that I realized that after that 10-15 minutes or so...

    Made a cool AirPods holder for my bike!

    For some reason I hate the feeling of having the AirPods case in my pocket, but I ride with them enough that they sometimes need a quick recharge. Today I whipped up this case and thought I would share! It even has a little silicone insert so that the case fits tightly and can't bounce out.

    Mac OS forces me to restore?

    So my old iPhone got smashed, and I got a new one from my insurance and set it up as a new device, to get a new slate. However, when I connect it to my mac, these are the only options I get, and I don't want either of them. Is there any way around this? I just want to add files on VLC. 😂
