It indeed is possible, but it's extremely hard, because iPhone's have 2 different "buckets". 1 for third party files and one for system files. Which makes it really hard to influence something in the system files bucket. iPhones with iOS 16 have something you can enable called "lockdown mode", which completely locks off the system files "bucket" from everything, making it impossible to get hacked.

But how, do they have iCloud access or what ? If yes, then it could be exploited.. If someone dies by suicide isn’t that right to protect the privacy of deceased. She was not a terrorist afterall

FaceID is pretty much perfect. I recently switched to the Pixel 7, and while Face Unlock works most of the time, there are certain levels of light where it can't find me, where the iPhone had absolutely zero issues. If your brightness is up high enough, FaceID will work in the pitch black of night.

Ah! Word files are kind of an unusual use case. Readwise might have worked if you exported word to pdf, but I’m not sure.

I’ve been through a recent “highlights journey” to sadly learn that pdf and ebook highlights are nonstandard across applications and platforms. I always assumed incorrectly it was trivial and standardized.

Glad you found a solution. Wishing you and yours a happy new year filled with peace and happiness and joy.

Thank you for your suggestion. I also tried app named book highlights in addition to readwise. Both of them are good for books available on the internet. However they do not support personal library with self-created documents. So I changed my mind to MS Word app on iphone. Accordingly, I can make highlights and comments. If i want to export all of them, I can use a short VBA coding from PC.

We are on year 2 with our apple 12 pros and they hold up great! We loved google but their software issues and setbacks was annoying. The BS customer service was the last straw for us. I got mine out of anger after 12 years. First iPhone and I like it a lot more than I thought I would. We are not going back to android anytime soon. Apple has won me over.

Battery is awesome and the Apple Watch is just an unbeatable combo for me. I’d say take the leap and enjoy the ride. It’s not as bad as you think. Plus apps like iMessage is just amazing.

Let us k or how things go!
