    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+.

        My favorite is when they send a 2fa prompt to your phone when you’re trying to use find my iPhone

          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.

        Apple loves to do that kind of shit.

        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.

          I’ve no idea where you’re getting your info from.

          “Like every other phone on Earth can do”

          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.
