There will never be multi user support on the iPad until the iPad has some real competition. Apple has absolutely no incentive to invest resources in to multi user when it’s much more likely that you will buy two iPads than buy an android tablet.
They invested the resources to make it already exist: https://developer.apple.com/education/shared-ipad/

It’s also markedly heavier. Despite the nominal size increase being small, the feel is totally different.
I guess 25% heavier sounds substantial, but a change from 4 oz to 5 oz is not that big. (113g -> 140g)

Boy do i have a lifehack for you. Buy a phone number with a random area code, like ohio or something, all the spam calls come from surrounding area codes.
I love this. Used to live in SF and kept the 415 number after moving. Any of the bay area area codes get instant silenced (manually). And any number from my current area code I know to answer as it is legit

All the 5s match my number, which hasn’t happened since I used to live in a small town. That always makes me do a double check but it’s also easier to ignore.

Is anyone else anxious about updates? I used to be so pumped for them when I was a teen. They’d unlock a world of new opportunities. Now I just feel anxious that there’s change for change sake to justify the resourcing of the design teams and that they’ll make things I’m used to worse all for a bunch of features I’ll never use or want. I don’t want more features. There’s so many already and they’re really cluttering.…
Why don't you like the address bar at the bottom? Surely it's more convenient to reach for. Is it muscle memory, or more just a dislike of change?
Well, looks like it's the end of the line for my 1st gen SE. It's been a good run. I'll miss you, little guy. Looks like my other options for a small phone are 12/13 mini or possibly the 2nd/3rd gen SE. But not nearly as compact as the 4" SE.
The 13 mini is only slightly larger than the SE (2016). Dimensions: Model Height Width Depth SE 4.87" 2.31" 0.3" Mini 5.18" 2.53" 0.301" (strangely precise) Diff +0.31" +0.22" +0.001" The screen goes from 4" to 5.4", which (for me) was worth the slight increase in size. I'm not going to say it's as compact as the SE (2016), but it's not a huge difference (nowhere near the difference of the regular sized 13 and 14 mod…
Still, it's too bad there isn't a 14 mini.

For some reason they patched one and only one actively exploited bug in iOS 12. They did not patch the bug in iOS 13 or iOS 14. iOS 14 hasn't received any security updates since October 2021. It's been even longer for iOS 13. And also for iOS 12, except for that one unusual patch. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201222 We can't treat the exception as the rule. It would be misleading to claim that Apple is still sup…
I wonder if iOS 12 is used in some weird special environment that doesn’t want to upgrade? Possible DoD-related or something similar?

Apple just released another security update for the 2014 iPhone 5s.

For a very simple reason. All devices that can run iOS 13 and 14 can be updated to iOS 15, which is still being patched.

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.
I'm always paranoid that I'm going to miss a call from one of the million numbers that come from my kiddo's school.

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.
