oh ffs due to pre-sharing days, my wife and i used the same appleid for both phones now calls that come in (those digital calls i guess) ring on both our phones because sure, why not obv i need to roll her a fresh appleid and do the family sharing w it, what's the least painful way to actually get the phone to take the other account without horribly loving everything? or is loving everything inevitable?

Grandmaster.flv posted:are you just dense or? scalpers wouldn't exist if what they were selling tickets for wasn't a time limited event the "willingness to pay" super inflated scalper prices comes from the fact that the alternative is never seeing the band play live possibly ever the alternative to not paying a greymarket iphone reseller is waiting 2 weeks for demand to die down and supply to increase i can't believe im actually explaining this
