  • Users still not upgrading to iOS 15 as quickly as iOS 14

    You really can't compare this year vs last year. Our family updated, no problems. The update isn't pushed or emphised as much.

    Why do you want always on display for something that goes in a pocket?

    Seriously? "The old-fashioned Touch ID"?

     Why use such loaded language? It's not old-fashioned, it's just different. Works better with masks, allows use under a table without being a distraction to others, and various other advantages. Sure, faceID also has advantages, but those 2 words are just oddly biased and completely unnecessary.

    Read the sentence with other options, like "traditional", i.e.
        The traditional Touch ID sensor is still in use below the display.

     Or better yet, and more professional, no biased words at all, i.e.
    The Touch ID sensor is still in use below the display.


    I have to agree. One of the selling points of why I got my SE 2nd gen is because of the Touch ID. Then COVID happened and I was really glad I had a way to securely and quickly logon while wearing a mask.

    Really a non-worry. 
    Simple solution is use your own cables and chargers. 
    That only works if the third-party cable looks different from the Apple cable or if there's no way anyone could ever swap your cable for this one.

    A better solution is to place the iPhone and charger inside a Faraday bag right up to the USB dongle that you are connecting the cable to. But this assumes that nobody can tamper with your Faraday bag and replace it with a bag that looks like a Faraday bag, but isn't.

    No that isn’t a good solution. If you put the phone and charger in a Faraday bag, then your phone will have no way of communicating. In fact if you leave your cellular on, the phone will consume more energy looking for a signal as the phone increases the RF power. This isn’t going to be used against the average person. Again, use your own cables and chargers would avoid problems for most people. If you want to be extra careful, wrap your cables with metal tape, decorate and label them, so no one can swap them without you knowing. The metal tape would shield the cables.
