Reply to Face ID: a hassle or no? by drDVMHomie

Your friend's opinion is just as valid as those expressed in these comments. It is in fact, a different experience. You'll find a way to adjust and make it work for you, but you will notice a difference. Whether or not you like the change will be up to your experience. In an ideal world, we'd have both! If you wear an Apple Watch, it will be a great advantage to your iPhone unlocking experience :)

Reply to Android to IOS, how is it? by _EliteAssFace_

There’s definitely a learning curve. I’ve had an XS Max for a little over a year now, after being an Android user for 10 years. My previous phone was a Pixel 4a 5G. I do miss it at times but I’ve become obsessed with the Apple ecosystem.

I mean Pegasus is an ongoing no click vulnerability within iPhone, it stands to reason there are other professional companies with the ability(and crucially desire) to build solutions that can break iPhone encryption, likely due to architectural/software flaws that cryptographic ones.

So everything works fine.

You just said that the robbers wiped the data

This article claims the phone was unlocked and the data retrieved - which is not possible without advanced state of the art hacking software like pegasus or grayshift (If I remember correctly)

All of the notes I made after those 30 days are gone, I need them back. Recommended software or techniques or anything is very helpful. by Supa_Dingus

Lol!! My boomer dad has so many! Once a year I tidy up his digital life for him and I'm always like, "Why do you have so many notes containing people's phone numbers? That's what Contacts are for!" or "Why do you have individual notes for each of your passwords? That's what Keychain is for!" This is a man whose wallet is about 4" thick so I really shouldn't be surprised.

I did answer this… it is possible to brute force the passcode… it’s the same way we do it daily… it’s not just gibberish. There is no ‘master encryption key’ the phone is for a lack of better words ‘hacked’ and all the data can be retrieved. When the devices are brute forced, it basically tries a string of passwords (sometimes taking weeks to months) trying different combos. Every time I tries 2 that aren’t successful, it erases the “failed attempts” from the device meaning every 2 attempts it just starts over as if there were no failed passcodes. If we aren’t dumping the data, you can still brute into the device and unlock it. Just takes time and patience.

I JUST thought about this. As a none iCloud or mac user. How the hell do I backup notes?

Have a lot of things in there I would HATE to lose

As long as notes are backed up to iCloud, they won’t disappear if the notes app itself it deleted and reinstalled, right?

Either way, I think OP has learned a valuable lesson about deleting things that one needs without having at LEAST two reliable backups.
