You know what’s been a great experience? Trying to quit Apple+. Took seconds to set up an account on my TV and weeks to cancel. Filled a complaint with my state AG.
I disputed the charge every month for about three months. Turns out you need an apple device to reset your apple password or wait weeks for an arbitrary email to verify your account. I don’t own a single apple device, but my LG TV had Apple+.
Actually find my is specifically excluded from the 2fa requirement. There may be a prompt but you can proceed to the find my iPhone screen without the code.
For instance, you can’t factory reset an iPhone without connecting it to either an OSX computer, or a PC running their special program. Don’t ask me what’s wrong with just holding down power and volume up, or whatever. Like every other phone on Earth can do.

This is patently untrue. Settings -> General -> Transfer or Reset iPhone. You have the option from there to wipe all data, do a full factory reset, or transfer the phone’s data to another device.
Those phones aren’t made by brave risk takers willing to design things to be just shittier enough that you’ll still buy it, and increase the ever important bottom line.
Apple+ is the worst subscription service I‘ve come across. I was interested in 2 shows but it wouldn‘t let me subscribe, browse their catalog or unsubscribe in the browser. I had to use my old iPad to subscribe and unsubscribe because apparently it‘s only meant to be used by apple hardware users? And what‘s even worse I had to use online search engines to actually get to the pages of shows and movies in my browser so I could watch it on my computer. Whenever I tried to go to the catalog directly, it would give me an error. Needlessly to say the stuff that I watched was mediocre at best and I immediately cancelled my subscription as soon as I found out how.

Cancel the card if you can

How the fuck can they require you to have an apple device to reset the password?!?
My favorite is when they send a 2fa prompt to your phone when you’re trying to use find my iPhone

Apple loves to do that kind of shit.

I’ve no idea where you’re getting your info from.
Try it if you’ve been locked out due to too many PIN attempts.

Oh dang I know the free trial, we got that too. Fuck I hope it’s not as much a pain to cancel for us.
Spoiler, it will be. Fuck apple and every megacorp like it.
