    Look, I totally agree with you: this situation is everyone’s worst nightmare. I wish Apple has responded in a more reasonable and timely way. Saying that, I can see how by limiting…

    It looks very similar to Vimeo (just more italicized). The placement is identical too.

    This is a really handy tool, and the demo video goes straight to the point! One minor criticism: it's a bit of a turn off when a well-known logo (and even its position in the heade…

    You still had a pin code, in addition to the fingerprint. It's an identical situation.

    For 2FA - yes. Not for when you lose your password AFAIK.

    They phished the password in a separate attack.

    That's basically the old idea that a single point of failure/backup is not sufficient. It's not specific to Google, Apple, Microsoft, etc. One copy can get damaged, hijacked, erase…

    I am sorry this happened to your brother. I think the information you added makes the majority of the discussion in this thread irrelevant. If the thieves phished the password in a…

    Have you verified this information? Other comments in this thread have and are saying that changing any phone number connected to iCloud requires a password.

    Are you sure? Want to re-read it one more time? The phone was _stolen_ at gun point, not unlocked. It looks like the password was later phished when author's brother clicked the fa…

    More meaning they would have felt wronged even before that. In general I agree that it’s unreasonable. Discounts happen, prices change, we can’t always time purchases perfectly.

    Thanks for testing this, Gigachad! At this point I will just stop commenting on this post as it seems like either Apple already fixed this or some of the most critical information …

    One fix that was mentioned in the comments that would have been easy to implement (and, frankly, bizarre it’s not implemented yet) is confirming password when performing such criti…

    It would have been helpful to explain that instead of leaving everyone guessing. Being able to unlock the phone is one of if not the most important detail here.

    Would you prefer not being able to remove your own old phone from Find My? There is a lot of disappointment expressed in the comments here but we need level-headed solutions, not j…

    Not going to try to justify Apple but feel like a piece of info is missing from the post. How did they unlock the phone? Maybe the phone had no auth set up? In general, it's expect…

    On an iPhone you can go to Settings -> Name, Phone Numbers, Email -> Edit Reachable At. That's one way I guess. Haven't used this menu before so not 100% positive.

    The thing that always seemed really strange to me is that I don’t understand how to order anything without looking at the details, comparing prices, checking alternatives, etc. Eve…

    Wouldn’t your example apply to any encrypted hard drive as well? If you provide access to it encryption is not doing anything.

    Usually the fairness that people seek in these situations is just the desire to dump the unfairness on someone else. E.g. the demand to extend the discount to 3-month old purchases…

    Amazing. It’s so obvious I wonder why billion dollar corporations didn’t figure out the legal implications of these models yet. Do you have an email address I could pass on to Open…

    Could you provide evidence of your last statement? I haven’t seen these models produce actual copies of any art (can’t imagine that’s an option in general). These models do not con…
