I just updated to iOS 16 and now the App Store forces me to enter my password every time I want to download a new app/game. Before it would just prompt me for FaceID. How do I turn this back on because my AppleID password is super long and unmemorable so I have to paste it in from 1Password each time.



E: I’ve tried toggling this off and back on.

Is there any way to look at an Apple Music library without being subscribed? My free trials finally ran out and I want to go back to a different platform but I don’t remember what I’ve added since using AM

I am once again posting about the apple trial offers found in the Target store app, assuming you haven’t claimed this one yet.

The only good thing about Brave on iOS is that you can add YouTube videos to the “Brave Playlist” thing which then lets you play videos with the screen off. This is immensely useful for me because a lot of content I “watch” on YouTube apparently would be better off as just audio podcasts and this kinda lets me do that.

I think it makes perfect sense that it works the way you described it. From the housemate's phone's perspective, there's an AirTag following her around. From your phone's perspective, it's perfectly fine. I don't think your phone and your housemate's phone communicate to let each other know it's cool, and imo they shouldn't be communicating.

Downside is I don't see those as an option with my provider.

From my provider I got the 13 for 31$ a month for 24 months (744$ Canadian, ~565 USD)
or the 12 for 24x24 (576$ CAD, 437 USD)
and 35x24 for the 14.

It looks like the SE is well, 579$ Canadian to buy direct from Apple. 13 mini says 849$ Canadian, which is closer to 649$ USD? (Checking the American version of the page it's 599$ MSRP?)

e: There's also like a bit of a bonus of like "can I get this tomorrow" (or very soon) cause of poo poo I need on my phone like 2FA crap.
e2: That said, I appreciate the suggestions, hope this doesn't seem combative.

If you buy the wrong phone Tim Apple is going to send goons to your house and beat you up.

If you’re totally fine with the phone you have I’d just pay for a battery swap from the closest froot shoppe. How far is “not very close” to you?

Either way, a swollen battery is no joke. It’s literally a fire bomb waiting to go off. Do not plug it in, and do not put it in your pockets.

I think nowadays setting up a new phone can be done phone to phone or something. One of the phones will display a weird 3D QR like thing (but it’s not QR) and you use the other phone to take a picture of it and then it just works.

Or all the kids these days syncing their phones over wifi?

I don’t know anyone irl who syncs their phone with their computer. Personally I just pay :10bux: for the 2 TB iCloud plan and family share that with 4 other people. In return I get their Hulu and HBO access (and they get essentially unlimited iCloud backup space) so it’s a win-win. Sometimes someone subscribes to random apps and shares those subscriptions too.

There is also the much cheaper iCloud plan without family sharing. I think that’s like $2?

Is Dark Mode suppose to switch off when the Sleep Alarm goes off? I just started using the Sleep Alarm and noticed it’s been doing that, even though it’s still dark out (and according to Weather.app the sun didn’t rise for another 1+ hours). I have Dark Mode set to auto from Sunset to Sunrise.

I still haven’t figured out the automatic sunset to sunrise dark mode. I have both dark mode and night shift set to automatic sunset to sunrise. Night shift turns off at sunrise when expected, but dark mode turns off when I pick up my phone at 5 loving 30 am when everything is still dark. I’ve changed it to something sensible like 7pm to 7am now but it’s annoying why it doesn’t work as advertised.

Apple can blacklist the phone via its IMEI number or whatever so that it can never be activated again on a carrier. The hypothetical thief pointing their gun at you wouldn’t know this happened but the scrub who bought the used phone would find it to be nothing more than a paperweight the moment they stuck their SIM card in it.

Apple doesn't handle that, typically. It’s done at the carrier level and managed by a regulator; which often means it’s only effective in that nation. Your stolen iPhone’s blocked IMEI code will work just fine in the southern hemisphere.

Doesn’t every iPhone need to phone home to apple as part of the activation process?

So when you go to your doctor with your digital insurance card, are they set up to just scan it or do you need to hand your phone over to them? They prolly take it a copier and scan it?

And the digital licenses, same question? Do you need to hand your phone over to the guy to verify your age?

Cause there is absolutely no way that I’m ever handing over my phone to someone.
