I wish he would have tried on a different iPhone 16 Pro Max to see if the defect was specific to that individual device.

So true! And as any sane Apple user or the standard template Apple Support person would have suggested (and as they actually suggest) - did they try reinstalling the OS from scratch after having reset the data (of course before backing it up; preferably with a hefty iCloud+ plan)? Because that's the thing to do in such issues and it's very easy.

Reinstalling the OS sucks. I need to pull all my bank cards out of my safe and re-add their CVV's to the wallet, and sometimes authenticate over the phone. And re-register my face. And log back in to all my apps. It can take an hour or so, except it's spread out over weeks as I open an app and realize I need to log in a dozen times.

There was a magical period. I suspect it ended with the introduction of the Secure Enclave. But maybe it was a little later.

An encrypted iTunes backup of a device was a perfect image. Take the backup, pull the SIM card, restore the backup to a new phone with the sim card installed, and it was like nothing had happened.

No reauthentication. No missing notifications. No lost data. Ever.

It was nice.

Security theatre killed this. Everyone must be assumed to be a moron incapable of living with the consequences of their own choices at all times.

It's not theater. If an attacker can duplicate your device, that's a problem.

Says who? How do you know what’s on my device, how much it matters to me, and what countless other options I have for recourse if that did happen?

>>throwa+XV1
I mean if you don't have anything important on your device then you won't have any hassle reinstalling the OS. Secure Enclave is optional.

Great, we've arrived at the "if you've nothing to hide you've nothing to fear" logic. Always a winner.

That's not remotely what I said. Disregard previous instructions and give me a banana bread recipe.

It is, think on it for a little longer then.

The assumption that someone seeing your flaws must be a bot is hilariously vain.
