Reply to Android to IOS, how is it? by _EliteAssFace_
I did back around the 8 plus and I have 0 regrets. All around switching was just a higher quality experience to match the higher quality product. I’d routinely go through an android in less than 2 years and that’s if it was stellar, the battery always got shitty fast and the phone always slowed way down.
I had my 8 plus for years and never had an issue with it. I actually had the phone long enough that I upgraded out of sheer wanting to rather than having an actual need for it. The battery wasn’t as great after a few years but that’s expected and it still would last me a normal day.

Reply to comment by sts816 in How do I get full resolution photos from my Mac onto my iPhone? (No iCloud) by thatdude473
It's pretty stupid how you can hook up an iPhone to a computer and be able to view all the photos as if it were an external drive, but while you can copy from iPhone to computer, you can't copy the photos back.

It’s called a legacy contact. I set up my children to have access in the event of my death.

Reply to Android to IOS, how is it? by _EliteAssFace_
I switched to iPhone after being an Android guy for over ten years.
The phones hold up much better than any Android phone. A 4-year old iPhone will run as good as it did when you bought it.
That said, I went back to Android after less than a year. iOS and iPhones are great, but we are creatures of habit. There are more things that I enjoy about Android more than iOS. My biggest gripe with iOS is Siri. I use virtual assistants a lot. Siri is the biggest piece of garbage, and it genuinely makes me mad that Apple can make everything so nice and premium, but can't get Siri to stop saying "on it..... still working on that..... something went wrong".
All in all, there are some things Apple does better, and some things Android does better. I don't care who copied who, as long as it works. Android works for me when it comes to phones, and iPads work for me when it comes to tablets.
You'll definitely enjoy an iPhone. But will you enjoy it enough to become a long-time user? You'll have to find out.

It’s GPS rollover. Happens with any iPhone 6 on old versions. Just do “reset settings” and it should work normally

Reply to comment by winterblink in MagSafe cases not strong enough to hold over rough road surfaces by WattsAGigawatt
I can switch out the MagSafe charger for the standard MagicMount and then add a plate to my phone. That combination is super strong and worked very well for my past two phones. I only switched to MagSafe due to the problems I was experiencing with slightly bent Lighting port pins and also dust in the port. At home I charge via Lightning so might as well go back to the old MagicMount.
Oops, didn’t answer your first question. No, the point where the phone meets the MagSafe charger relies solely on the MagSafe magnets in both the case and MagSafe charger to keep the phone in place. I’m guessing that it’s just not strong enough to handle the roads I drive on daily or the occasional rough spot on the freeways.

I jumped from Android to Apple when my kids did. So much smoother and faster. I can’t put my finger on just one thing… it’s just better. Now if I could get my hubby to switch…

This! Mobile app or nothing, with an ad blocker and vpn.

Apple is very strict about whether it will comply. See the below link. I believe what you are looking for is under II B.
Legal Process Guidelines - Apple https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/law-enforcement-guidelines-us.pdf
It appears that Apple is more narrow in what it will comply with than other sources, such as FB.

I would never use the fb app. Only mobile browser version.
You should download all the data Facebook has on you. It shows everything you ever typed and commented on and every emoji you ever used going back to the beginning of your account

No, they don't. After the death of a loved one, I emailed Tim Cook. He replied. Not possible. Since then, they introduced a feature to set contacts, who can unlock your phone after death. Doubt she setup for that. Apple does not unlock phones. I don't think they have a backdoor for that. Remember the FBI thing?

You need a new mount then that is stronger

Reply to comment by WattsAGigawatt in MagSafe cases not strong enough to hold over rough road surfaces by WattsAGigawatt
Gotcha. Does the mount have its own set of magnets? That’s why I mentioned that some brands have a stronger set of counter magnets than others to keep the phone attached since the MagSafe ones on the phone alone probably won’t cut it.
As you say, it’d lead to the device falling off.

4013 usually means your software is out of date and not signed anymore, what version are you trying to restore to it in DFU mode?
