I constantly get notifications about how oops you left your AirPods behind!!!! which would make me panic until I check my pockets and wow they're right there. Makes the notifications functionally useless to me if I can't trust them.

It happens for sure. I used to support a student laptop program at a college. Every year a few students would have their laptops stolen out of their cars.

It’s usually more “cost of replacement and insurance rates” than “security implications”, because the latter can mostly be resolved through standard encryption systems, whereas the former can’t. But the former really only adds burden to employees who are already travelling to do their jobs, so gently caress ‘em.

Probably you’ve set the Find My app up to not notify about things left at home? Apple know where we live. They don’t know where I’ve parked my car, normally. Maybe if I’ve navigated there using Apple Maps but who the hell uses that app? And I drive without satnav ~70% of the time anyway. Unless Apple are, in fact, informed of where I park my car, the phone would need to have telepathy or magical properties in order to tell a “left behind” situation from a normal scenario.

The Lord Bude posted:Apple Maps does, in fact; record where you parked your car regardless of whether you used it to navigate (although I do actually use it to navigate, it’s a good app). Apple Maps has improved much since its early days. I still prefer the UI of Gmaps and Waze, but Amaps is pretty. It does not have a "lock north up" functionality while in a non-overview mode which is a dealbreaker to make it my daily driver GPS app unfortunately. But I am in the minority and most prefer heading-up instead of north-up.

Imagine preferring the UI of google maps over Apple Maps 🤮🤮🤮 Waze UI sucks but I can deal with it due to the police reports. Yes I know Apple Maps does these as well, but they aren’t nearly as accurate yet.

So if I didn’t use navigation, how does it even know I’ve parked my car and am now walking?r How does it know if it was my own car or if I took a cab? This matters if the phone is supposed to automatically determine whether I left my iPad behind by mistake or intentionally. Neither of those problems are easy to solve in a user-friendly way. It doesn’t become easier when a user is able to control the location access for Apple Maps in four different levels. BTW, not to rail on Apple Maps but the thing that makes me still use Google Maps is that Apple Maps works like poo poo in my city/country. I’m sure they have good navigation in the US but here it can’t even find many addresses. I wish it worked better for me because Google Maps has had some regression in the last year where it’s been drawing about 200MB of data in ten minutes of navigation.

I have a question about work phones. My job wants to give people a phone for work (so they later can convince us to read emails 24/7 is my suspicion). There are two alternatives: 1) A phone for work stuff only 2) A phone we can use freely for personal and work stuff in accordance with some guidelines, i.e. some apps are not allowed I don't know what kind of or if any mobile device management (MDM) will be installed on the personal+work phones. I'm not sure if I should even ask them about MDM but I'm not too fond of the concept of having a phone that my job can have a look at should they want to. At the same time, having to deal with two phones doesn't seem ideal either. Hopefully, if I choose alternative 2, I can have my personal number and a work number at the same time. How does Dual Sim for on iPhones? Is it easy to set boundaries between work and my actual life? For instance, can I set the phone up so that the work number (and work notifications) only work between 9 and five?

The most annoying thing about Maps is when you try to zoom in but accidentally turn the map so that it’s no longer north aligned. Who the gently caress wants this and it would be nice if I can disable it or turn down the sensitivity so I stop accidentally doing it. If this was a feature that purely exists in Maps itself it wouldn’t be too bad but it looks like any app that uses Maps backend has it too.

You can select which sim to use for sms and phone but FaceTime and iMessage only has a single "pool" to work from. Most applications relying on SIM for identification(like whatsapp) will ignore the second one.

Hippie Hedgehog posted:So if I didn’t use navigation, how does it even know I’ve parked my car and am now walking? It’s based on whether you had your phone connected to the vehicle, by Bluetooth or a cable; something that virtually everyone who owns a modern car does so that they can take calls or listen to music. People don’t normally connect their phone to cabs or Ubers. It seems very straightforward to me.

Addendum, it only works transparently if your car bluetooth advertises itself on a HFP profile, if it only uses handset or A2dp(stereo audio), you will have to go on your phone to identify it as a car to make the car mode work. If you use CarPlay it will always enable car mode.

Xabi posted:I have a question about work phones. Yeah, you can toggle and dual SIM works great. Here’s the thing: unless your IT support is incredibly stupid, if they’re gonna give you a work number and have your work info on a mobile device, they’re gonna want whatever MDM installed. Even in best of intentions, keep that poo poo away from your personal phone. I have a work phone, I made a separate Apple ID a for it, and I use it for work and for navigation when I’m driving (my car is too old for CarPlay). Like, I do have my personal email signed in, but if my work decided to nuke my work phone tomorrow , it won’t affect my personal at all. Dual SIM is very cool, but always keep work stuff on a separate phone, and if they say buying you a phone is too expensive, then that means they don’t think it’s a high enough value for you to have a work number anyway.

Xabi posted:I have a question about work phones. Personally, I'd go with option 1 but also a lot of employers are loving cheap. But BYOD are much more common these days. If they're a Microsoft shop, they should absolutely look at app protection policies. It lets them manage the app behavior without actually managing your entire device. Like, they can require a PIN or biometrics for Outlook to open, or prevent you copy/pasting from Outlook to a non-managed app. There's no config profiles installed on the phone.

My workplace more-or-less pays for our phones (they don't just buy it for you outright, but the expense allowances are such that it adds up to the same thing) but they don't install any management onto it. You have to use it for 2FA, and you can choose to use it for work email and teams if you wish. Seems pretty fair to me overall.

The advice should always be "Don't mix personal and work phone data" and admittedly I don't follow it. I work for a large corp and we can get new devices every 2 years, but mine is Galaxy something (I went that route so I could experience iOS and android OSes) and I gave it to my son as a play phone 2 years ago and have no idea where it is. On my personal iPhone I use work Microsoft apps and slack /shrug

The Lord Bude posted:The left behind notifications are extremely annoying when you’re on vacation. At a minimum; it should recognise that they’re in the same drat place I parked the car and not notify me when I park somewhere and grab some lunch on the road. I can understand when I’ve left them in my hotel room. What if I wanted to be reminded that I left my iPad in my car? Like if I'm rushing to the airport and park my car but leave one of my bags behind? There isn't a good way for Apple to read your mind and know that you intend to leave your stuff anywhere. So they err on the side of notification anywhere that you haven't specificly excluded. If you don't want constant random notifications just turn them off. Find My will still be there for when you really do forget something and need to figure out where it is. Anyway my biggest issue with Find My is that it seems to forget my exclusions and where things actually are. Example: I have an air tag in my luggage. It's in my closet and hasn't left the closet in months. I have an exclusion for my home. But I'll randomly get notified that I left my luggage behind somewhere not at home. Like I'll be at the grocery store and be told my luggage was left behind there.
