The stolen device protection feature is genuinely a huge improvement for the security of your iPhone and came out over two years ago now.

For those not aware, before it/without it enabled, someone who sees you type in your lock screen code and then steals your phone can use it to reset you apple ID password, and then it's basically theirs. Changing email, turn off or remove your other devices from Find My, etc.

That's a huge vulnerability to leave up to just your lock screen code. Which is why the rollout of stolen device protection in early 2024 on iOS was great. The only thing is, the same vulnerability exists on iPad as well in the exact same way, and stolen device protection still hasn't made its way over.

This seems like a pretty easy fix given that Apple has already built the whole system for iOS, anyone hear anything about when it'll come out on iPadOS?

Can't express how excited I am, honeslty was beginning to think that this wouldn't happen. I sort of turned this into my own Mt Everest, so getting the ball rolling on this once I was able to has been the hardest part.

I know I shouldn't, but given how much expectation is placed on people to move out and get their own place early on in life in the US, it was weighing on me a lot that I hadn't joined them. Again, I know that's toxic and I shouldn't think that way, but it was something that I couldn't shake, and I don't think that I'm alone in either.

Anyone else recently moved out while 25 or older? Would love to hear how it went, what it was like afterwards in terms of relief or regrets or anything you'd do differently.

I can already predict this is going to get downvoted into oblivion but it's a genuine question and I will hopefully get at least one genuine comment lol.

in spite of everything else going on, Lebanon shows who it really is (and Israel who they are). God bless this country

Ive used lumo here and there, but 2.0 and its multi modal system really got me using it much more. Especially for stuff involving uploading financial documents with personal information, investment performance, etc, I was always reluctant to give it to chatgpt or Claude. I fed that stuff to Lumo earlier today and it crunched through it without any issues in ways prior versions really struggled.

Huge help come tax time!

>Claude models launched on or after August 2, 2026 support marking at launch. We’re also working to add marking support to Claude models released before that date

This is the way that they're describing it, but that's inherently vague. So watermarking is currently in process for Opus 5 and the others? They don't explicitly come out and say that it's not watermarking, or that it hasn't been watermarking before this release came out either.

Anthropic should really clarify this.

I don't really see a point to the Apple Card anymore tbh, the 1% whenver you have to use the physical card (or, more often in my case, the card number for online stuff that doesn't have Apple Pay) is really uncompetitive. The biggest upside to it was being able to finance Apple purchases interest free, but now that the leasing thing has rolled out, I'm just sort of left wondering what the purpose of this thing even is anymore.

Anyone close their accounts from this/are thinking about closing them?

I know early pay for people who get paid weekly/biweekly doesn’t really change much (shifts payday to Wednesday from Friday, big whoop) but in my use case it would be genuinely nice. I’m pure freelance and get paid for a project when it’s done, which varies in duration. after I submit the invoice for it there’s usually a couple of days delay anyway before they process it.

If Amex gets early pay, I’d switch in a heartbeat. anyone heard any rumors about them potentially rolling this out? It’s unusual at this point for online only banks not to have it.

It is literally the most predictable phenomenon ever. Whenever Apple releases a new version, we are guaranteed to have many—and I mean MANY—saying exactly the same thing regardless of what the OS level actually did lol

Just use your phones people!

Obviously both would be nice, but apparently that’s not happening. So, to settle this for this subreddit once and for all… you can have only one! Which do you choose, OLED or 120hz?

No third options possible, even though I think most would agree both should happen (or mini LED with 120hz).

This has kind of been a long-running theme with Apple given the different models, but seems to be becoming even more of a situation.

The Mini 8 is set to get OLED, which is cool, but be stuck at 60hz—which is just such a strange combination. They're jumping from LCD to OLED, completely bypassing mini LED (which are great themselves and are on MacBook Pros) which will almost certainly make it even more expensive. The mini 7 currently starts at $599, so I assume the mini 8 will start at $699? That's really close to a regular iPhone, which of course now has 120hz.

Then it just came out that the next iPad Air won't be getting OLED at all, sticking with LCD. So the mini will have OLED, but the Air (pricey AF!) will have both 60hz and LCD.... sheesh.

Plus, the current base model iPad is still running the A16 Bionic with just 6GB ram, which I think is four years old now.

At current prices, I just wouldn't buy any of these lol. I know I'm probably a minority there and Apple will still make plenty of money, but feel like this is needlessly confusing in a way none of their other products really are.

(in full transparency I bought a mini 7 last summer on sale at Amazon for $379, which I think was a great deal)

Has anyone done one of these yet through Apple? I know they offered replacements on batteries for the mini 6, any idea how much replacing it costs for the 7 though?

Do they do it same day in shop?

I'm on the older spectrum of Gen Z, so I guess I'm experiencing this a bit harder than others might here (I was born in '98). Tbh, there's no other way to say it, but I'm starting to feel old 😅

If we go by this sub's year guide where Gen Z spanned from 1996 to 2012, the elder Gen Alpha kids are now 14 years old, which is kind of terrifying. Gen Alpha is going to be voting soon.

I'm not ready to give up our status, can we file an extension or something on account of COVID 😂
