Didn't happen to me, yet at least? I do use a 19 character generated passphrase with 3 of each capital, numbers, & special characters.  That, as good as it is, can be really problematic if this would have happened, or yet still does.  I have 2auth on as well, was there any indication if this happened to those that had 2auth on? Was it only those that had 2auth off, and some password like "myAppleID789" since 2002?  LOL   

I got hit with it, over a 20-random-character password already in place with 2FA, and had changed the password only a few months ago.  Worst yet is that while I was at home, for some reason my iPhone activated Stolen Device for 1 hour, so that just added to the issues.

Essentially useless features as in modern cars (at least in the EU) it's been a legal requirement, that they call emergency services after the crash is detected. Together with the essentially useless satellite emergency call (at least outside US), this years iPhone introduction was quite useless.

That is an EU and not a US requirement then.  In last two years have purchased several recent model year vehicles and none have this capability without excessive additional monthly fees - for instance OnStar starts at $25/month. So at least here in US this feature seems useful.

So iPhone 14 can have multiple phone numbers with multiple cellular providers?

This has been true of iPhones since the XS.

I want a Verizon phone number as well as an AT&T number.

I have that on my iPhone 11 Pro for 2 years now.  Personal is Verizon and Work is AT&T.  Only downside has been impact on battery life since phone is always seeking out both networks - solved with Smart Battery Case.  Looking forward to this iPhone 14 Pro upgrade!

I don't think I trust Zigbee anymore. My 17 Hue devices, mostly bulbs, use Zigbee's protocol. Every morning all my devices work, but as they day goes on more and more are "not responding" and when I try to ask Siri to turn off all the lights, sometimes as many as 14 of 17 lights aren't responding. I'm desperate to find something that works because I love HomeKit/Siri... when it works. Any suggestions? I'm guessing it's interference from the neighbors in my building. Or it could be my Hue Bridge failing, which I've rebooted and that doesn't change anything.

Had similar problems at one point - found it was interference from numerous nearby competing WiFis ... did a couple “Hue channel changes” and problems disappeared.

Over the past few months have started installing quite a few HomeKit devices: 20 Philips Hue lights, iHome & iDevices items also.  Set-up was easy, one minor problem setting up a single device (and that one was my mistake, iPhone accidentally connected to wrong WiFi during set-up process).  Apple TV4 easily took HomeKit controller role, have a bunch of automations set up that normally work flawlessly; only thing I've noticed is that once a month (or less) it seems like my "Sunrise" automation doesn't seem to kick off.  Family loves all the automation, plus controlling lights and scenes with Siri (although slowest Siri response is always my original-series Apple Watch).  In 3 months only problem I've really had that took awhile to resolve was when I updated my Airport firmware; after restarting over half my Hue lights were unresponsive.  Some online searching and discussion with Philips Customer Service and I resolved within a day - turns out when my Airport rebooted it changed channels that interfered with the Philips Hue ZigBee channel - so a couple ZigBee channel changes and problem was resolved.  Look forward to trying out some of the new devices as they are released!
