I would have this on if it wasn't for the fact that I get calls from delivery drivers, who all have unknown numbers, and for whom the notification must be immediate.
Buy a Twilio number that forwards to your real number. Then whoever has that number can call it, and it will ring you from the known Twilio number. Add to address book and voila!

Apple is getting ready to release iOS 15.7, which will work on iPhone 7…
Don't expect that to last long. iOS 14.8 was released on September 13, 2021, iOS 14.8.1 on October 26, 2021, and then nothing else.
Apple’s call and sms spam filtering remains subpar to say the least. When I had a Pixel, I had the option to let the OS transcribe what the potential spammer was saying and end the call. It’s puzzling why Apple isn’t doing more here.
Apple’s call and sms spam filtering remains subpar to say the least. It's my understanding that this is largely because of the carriers. Phone and text spam filtering came to the iPhone in China long before it hit other countries. I only know a couple of people in China, and neither are in tech, but they say it's because spam was absolutely rampant so the government leaned on the carriers to fix it, and the iPhone sp…
I'm surprised they aren't using the iPhone 14 in the promo images. Anyway, looks like my old iPhone 7 is finally going to have to retire. :/ I can't wait for a good Linux phone. Edit: 7 years of use isn't bad compared to Android, but the phone is still just fine, and it really bothers me that it's turning into e-waste for no good reason.
Apple, for iOS 17 can you please let me freely rearrange the apps on the screen? Having them shuffle every time I add or remove an app is really a pain

iOS 12.5.6 was released 8 days ago for the 5s…
Also note that 12.5.6 was for a single actively exploited CVE and no other vulnerabilities.

Apparently, the reason Apple dropped support for iPhone 7 is performance on the new lock screen. Pretty lame if that's the case, Apple has usually been good with supporting all devices as long as the hardware allows it (for example, hardware level secure enclave was required at a certain version of iOS)
E waste, no no don’t throw it out. You can use 99% of the apps even without ios16. It’s only when individual app developers phase out support for ios15 typically 2-3 years after. Facebook, YouTube etc still supports even iOS 12
Apple makes it difficult but keeping my iPhone 5S is still going years after iOS 12 is no longer "cool"

Sorry, my bad, I didn't see your other message since it got buried in hundreds of nested replies and there's no way I was gonna see it.
Also, what guidelines did the other message it break?
