Are you going to move over to an iPad mini tethered to an Apple Watch cellular when they finally stop supporting larger iPhones with TouchID, or finally bite the bullet and upgrade to an iPhone with Face ID?

You can usually tag on unlimited tablet cellular plan to your phone plan for $20. The you can call and text forward to your iPad

I don't actually use Touch ID for most things as it is. I just like having a physical Home button to press. When that day comes, I'll probably grudgingly upgrade to a newer iPhone set to passcode-only.

Branch Nvidian posted:It only works if the person actually lets it work though. Couple years ago my mother fell off the ladder going into the attic, landed on the garage floor and shattered her wrist and broke her femur at the femoral neck, requiring a bunch of metal plates and big-rear end screws to fix,, and when her watch was all “hey, that seemed like a pretty bad fall, do you want to call 911?” she canceled it. So like, I guess just make sure they understand what the watch can do and the sorts of the situations where they should let it do what it does. Good grief regardless of the phone/watch situation, I hope she is well that sounds awful. I know we don't say goon dolences or sappy stuff like that but yikesaroo. This is a good PSA for talking to your folks about what their hardware can and can't do.

Is iCloud through a browser supposed to forget your password every few weeks, or is that a bug? I always flag the computer as trusted, but it eventually always asks again (I think it's after about a month, not sure). No other similar service that I use is like this. No mention of a verification reset here.

I’ve had to sign my iPad into iCloud several times in the last few weeks, no other devices, just the iPad. Thought it was just because it’s oldass but maybe iCloud is having a moment.

Apple in general has gotten really aggressive with that lately. If you plug your iphone or ipad into a computer, it will ask "trust this computer?" every time. Then it will ask it again if you try to do anything like create a backup or update.

Cue the 14 attempting to load the ipad data rather than my current iphone.

Hey thread! how's it going? Quick question: is there a way to save off text messages AND imessages for a particular conversation on the latest iOS? Like saving to OneDrive or something. We don't really use iCloud. My partner needs to save them for documentation/evidence purposes... It's not life or death, but just CYA in the career/field she's in. Thanks!

It's not a legal requirement she do this in any way. In fact, she was saying that she was just going to screenshot every page of the conversations that mattered and I told her I'd look for an easier way. Maybe she could screen record and just slowly scroll through all of the conversations she cares about, lol. I just thought there'd be a much easier way to do it. If anyone else has any ideas, please let me know. thanks e: Oh and I tried to search the thread, sorry I'm repeating something already asked.

You should definitely be using iCloud though

Yeah, screenshot is really the only way to save text messages (of course iCloud backs them up and make sure they are not set to auto delete after 1 year).

There at least used to be shell scripts that could pull your messages out of an iTunes backup. Don’t think they pulled images though. They also might not work these days, but you could at least look.

I feel like 3uTools can pull message text out of a backup. edit: oh hey quote:I just ran 3uTools on Windows and I could view message threads in an unencrypted backup.

Im helping my buddy cop a refurb apple product since apple charges a grip on New. Is https://refurb-tracker.com/ the right one to use? I know the thread had a favorite but I can’t remember which. And also to be sure im relaying the right information to him - refurb stuff gets a new battery, new “shell”, same warranty as new…and new screen I think? I feel like at least one of those is wrong but my googling is turning up conflicting info.

Leaving work and handing in my iPhone 13. I've been very happy with it and feel no need to upgrade to 14. I went ahead and ordered the 128 GB 13 mini. Someone tell me how stupid I am while I can still cancel it. I figured I always preferred smaller phones anyway, and AFAIU the phone is just as capable as the large 13?

Depending on how much you use your phone, it may or may not get through the day. With light/normal use, you’ll probably be fine. I usually get through the whole day with mine. Keep a charger in your bag or at your desk at work for peace of mind I guess? Otherwise, congratulations, you have bought the perfect iPhone.

I know the thread had a favorite but I can’t remember which. Apple Refurbished is the preferred source: https://www.apple.com/shop/refurbished I think iPhones from there aren’t especially good deals, but at least what they’re selling is the nicest refurbished stuff you’ll get anywhere. Everything else is a gamble, but the savings can be worth it if you can find a place with a reasonable return policy. I’d take a look at Swappa too, as they are one of the best used marketplaces out there.

I know the thread had a favorite but I can’t remember which. If you're not buying from Apple's refurbished store linked above, there's literally no guarantee of what you get. It's not unheard of for stores to look at the phone to make sure the screen is one piece, shove it in a box and ship it off as "refurbished." Any warranty is from the store you buy it from (plus any remaining on the original factory warranty, if relevant). If you buy from Apple, it will get a new battery, case, and screen, plus anything else that needs replacing, and includes a full warranty that's eligible for additional Applecare coverage, if desired. So yeah, don't use that. If your friend just wants a used phone, buy from Swappa or something.

Yeah sorry I left that important sentence out. We just want alerts since the iPad Air 5th gen he wants is out of stock. He’d be buying direct from the refurb Apple Store, he just wants alerts for first dibs.
