I dont know, but I kind of wish I was that far back as far as the phone itself. If I have to carry one of these annoying phones, I would like it to be small enough to slip in my shirt pocket withough haveing to streach the pocket open with the other hand. That's why I got an Apple Watch. So I could leave the damned iphone at home in a drawer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmohme Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 And another thing. If this really is an urgent security update, wouldn't you think the actual iPhone users would have gotten an email, text or some other "Hot Line" message warning us that the end was near if we did not do this update imediately? Maybe I wouldn't have gotten one since I have not update in a long time, but my wife is one of the got to have the latest and greatest crowd, so it would most definietly effect her woulnt yo think. Probably just same old, same old stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She mangled her phone pretty badly. I told her if she could wait for the Black Friday sales, I'd get her a new phone as an early Christmas gift. I ordered and received the phone, then she tells me she couldn't wait and bought one herself. Merry Christmas to me! 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
railfancwb Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Update probably to cancel as many ad blockers as possible - blockers made necessary because earlier iOS updates swung wide the doors for advertisers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words your watch can do it all and no need for a phone? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to initialy pair it with your phone, but yes, the watch has cellular so the phone can be left in the bottom of a drawer where it belongs. :-) My only issue with it is sometimes the airpods dont want to pair reliably. Dont think its the watch's fault. I just have never had good luck with anything bluetooth, but anything to not have to carry a smart stupid phone...Any smart stupid phone of any brand or OS. I absolutely hate those things!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phone, Watch, Tablet were half of what Apple wanted. Best Buy then gave her $400 for turning her 12, IPad, and watch in. She is learning to make the switch. Her IPhone friends are a bit pretentious, similar to Prius owners. I have the 7 and don't plan on upgrading anytime soon. Typing this on a $100 Samsung TabA. I hate to overpay for stuff. I drive a 2020 Buick Regal by the way.... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batesmotel Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Remember Apple’s old campaign? “1984 won’t be like 1984” Well with iOS 17, 2023 is like 1984. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need a minimum of a 12 inch display for most things. You must have much younger eyes than I do. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get yourself a good password manager. It will save you a lot of headaches and make your online experience much more secure. Bitwarden is highly regarded (and free, but they do have subscription based plans). https://bitwarden.com 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just took over my wifes old ipad pro and it updated to ops 17.1.2 last night and I am not seeing this problem. I can still switch between regular browsing and private and it also still remembers my passwords so I dont have to type them in everytime. Maybe something in your settings?
