I wish carrier unlocking was adapted for dual sim. If you’re in the 2 month window on a newly financed device you cannot use the second sim whatsoever. No amount of reasoning with Verizon consumer or business reps will talk them into unlocking the device. I legitimately need it for business use. I will not be financing again.
Got a tip for us?

Not if you have Verizon as your primary line. Only one CDMA line is allowed. My second line is a cheap prepaid TMobile line that really only gets used for voice and text (though iMessage is over data but that’s negligible).
Even if you could have two Verizon lines, their prepaid offerings are nano-SIM only.
I have two verizon lines on my phone. One physical sim and one e-sim

How did you go about getting the second line? The second line would have to be postpaid, and even then the CDMA restriction would prevent you from doing that.
Did some digging, apparently you can have two Verizon lines since the second line uses VoLTE for voice. If VoLTE isn’t available then the CDMA restriction (per Apple’s documentation) still applies.

Is it normal behavior in the Mail app to just jump into the next email when you delete or move an email you’re viewing?
Yes. I wish the would give us the option to return to the email list instead of opening the next email.
Huh, seems like a bug. Considering Apple’s stance on privacy, I’m not sure why they’d design it to automatically mark another email as read.
I submitted FB10280669.
Good luck! It's been that way since forever. Same behavior on MacOS.
I'm not a fan of this. I'd like to pick separate subjects in photos separately more often than not. Example: In a picture with a cat and a dog, I'd like to pick up each animal separately.The capture image from background feature will capture non-contiguous items!
highly doubt apple will choose to allow this with their stock camera app, it’s more for ‘streaming’ apps or when you are on video call like on whatsapp and switch to another app, your video will not pause
but developers will need to update their apps for this to work
carrier-locked phones still exist?

Exactly… fortunately much less popular now (at least in UK)
That being said, on the original question, the *intent* of carrier locking was to ensure the device could only be used on the network offering the device on finance.. so you could argue preventing SIMs on other networks is aligned with that ….
I’ve not bought carrier locked in years.
At least for the OP it’s only 2 months.
My guess is that my particular image was selected in total because (A) the similarity of the subjects, (B) their proximity to each other and (C) related to (B), the fact that the flowers are all more or less on the same focal plane.
Some additional little things (courtesy of Federico Viticci at Macstories.net):
-Add Credit Card CVV to Autofill Info
-“Privacy menu in Control Center is growing in iOS 16 with the ability to expand it and see a full list of all the apps that recently accessed your location, camera, and microphone”
-“built-in, system-wide conversion for all kinds of units in every app that has a native text field or supports data detectors. In practice, this means that iOS 16 can recognize when you’re typing a currency value, a time zone, temperature, or even the weight and length of something, underline it, and offer you to instantly convert it to another popular unit”
-“There is a new context menu shown when you long-press an event in the Calendar app: this menu, which uses new iOS 16 APIs to include three quick shortcuts at the top, adds new options for copying events, pasting them, and moving them between calendars.
-“Turn URLs into Rich Links in Mail”

Here’s something else I think is new: a notification that an email came from someone from whom you hid your true email address:
Loving this! Too many times I have to fumble to find that lol.
Kind of defeats the purpose if you have to pull out your card anyway.
Exactly. I know most of mine off hand, but there’s one I use occasionally only for work related things (travel, etc) as easier for doing expenses, and that’s the one I always have to dig out.
Unfortunately yes, the FCC allows it for up to 60 days. Beyond that, the device is unlocked.carrier-locked phones still exist?
