  • Disney World visitor claims $40,000 credit card fraud occurred after losing Apple Watch

    As I've said before, if you're using Wallet on your Apple Watch don't use the default 4-digit PIN. Any other length PIN will require you to hit enter to authenticate and of course a longer PIN makes the number of potential guesses more involved.
    Nope - as of a couple of updates ago, a six-digit PIN does not require the enter key.  Apple made the Apple Watch match the behavior of an iPhone or iPad - just enter the six-digit PIN & it unlocks.

  • Texas boy's 31 cheeseburger order demonstrates why you should secure your iPhone

    I believe it could be easy for the majority of parents if Apple implements a direct function that blocks in-app purchases, or whatever has to do with money, when the iPhone or iPad is being gave to a child for play.

    All these accidents happen because, in the real life, parents don't have time to wonder, investigate and find out if their devices do have any set to avoid mishaps, or even if these mishaps exist as well.

    The way parent control has been designed in iOS is somehow useless, moreover because is under Settings and plus because it's called Screen Time :/
    Sounds like you've not used an iPhone.  Requiring password or Face/Touch ID for transactions is set in the App Store.  Each non-Apple app has their own responsibility for managing approval of purchases - this is not Apple's responsibility. 

    You are stating parents don't "have time" to be a parent & just let their kids do whatever, without the parent being aware of what they might do????

    Okay, I'm an Apple Specialist and you'd be surprised how many people have no passcode on their phones. Then you have the people who use "codes" like 0000 or 1234 to open their phone.  Even more people keep every password under the sun in an unlocked Note file.  

    The majority of people do keep their phone and passwords secure (as evidenced but the roughly half of customers who cannot remember their Apple ID password!), but there's a large number who do not.  This person is lucky that all that got ordered were a couple dozen hamburgers.  It really could've been a lot worse. 

    People- use a six digit passcode with non-repeating numbers; don't keep your passwords on your phone; and don't use the same password for everything.


    And think about the option to enable the phone to wipe clean after 10 straight bad passcodes
    Maybe you don't know how this feature works.  After the 4th or 5th attempt, you have to wait 5 minutes for the next attempt.  Then you have to wait 10 or 15 minutes for the next attempt, all the way up to over an your between the last attempts.  I think someone would be tired of trying by that time...

    Real reason is people do not want to work at Apple Park because people do not have even a semi private office to work in.  Really poor working conditions unless you are in management.

    You mean like practically every other company in the world?
    Every other company in the world at least gives you a desk to work at.  At Apple Park you get a table with 10 other people to collaborate with.  A horrible working condition.
    And these people accepted the job & did the work there, pre-pandemic.  If the working conditions were so bad, why did they continue to work there, and not look for employment elsewhere, complain, etc., pre-pandemic?  So it was Ok pre-pandemic, but not now?

    One of the complainers stated, "60% of my team doesn't even live near the office. They are not returning,"

    So they were stupid & moved away, with no indication that remote work was a permanent thing.  

    Apple should probably be glad to see those go - they're already "part timers".  They should be turning in their resignations, knowing the policy enforcement date is looming (bet none do).
