I have/had a ProtonMail account, and whilst it was great, I believe it was only end-to-end encrypted when sending emails to other people using ProtonMail…? Or at least that was my understanding at the time.
The apps back then weren’t particularly polished, so I ended up migrating everything back to iCloud.
To be honest, I don’t seem to have any issues with iCloud and everything just works. But that’s the problem with Apple, and how they “get” you.
Yeah figured as much. Thanks anyway.
No, we don’t have Apple Cash here in the UK for some reason.
If I go to the App Store on either my iPhone or Mac and click on my profile pic, I can see I have a balance. Because I selected Apple Store credit when I traded in my Mac it just credited my Apple ID with money.
If possible I’d like to transfer it out of there, to buy software directly from the respective websites for Swish and Transmit.
And this, my friend, is exactly what I came here for. Very insightful, informative and measured answer. Thank you for taking the time 👍🏻
Tried it, kinda liked it, but then read a lot of shady stuff about them not being as privacy-focused as they’re made out to be.
I might give Arc a go, not sure how good/popular it is though. But I think anything other than Safari will be a compromise because of the Apple Pay/Touch ID/Face ID integration.
The Apple integration is probably the main reason I use Safari I think; the likes of Apple Pay, Touch ID/Face ID all just works. I’d love that ability in Firefox and then I’d probably use it exclusively.
Yeah I feel you, it’s a tad frustrating. But a first world problem I guess. I just thought it was an obvious continuity feature to have as part of the Apple ecosystem.
We can hope, right?
Yeah I use that feature all the time; if I’ve been out running or for a walk listening on my iPhone, I’ll often hold my phone next to my HomePod in the kitchen or bedroom and seamlessly carry on playback. And it works great. I just assumed it would be equally easy to implement it from Mac to iPhone.
That’s a shame. Seems like it’d be reasonably straightforward to implement on iOS 17 given the new stuff they’re doing with AirDrop.
I know Spotify has had this for a while and is probably one of the items highest on peoples’ wishlists. Maybe one day.
I managed to get mine for launch day, although the Apple Store didn’t come online at 13:00 UK as advertised; there was probably 4 - 5 mins delay.
I had configured my pre-order beforehand.
Pro models actually got a price decrease in the UK, unless I’m missing something.
Now I just need to decide whether to match my phone to my watch and get the natural titanium, or whether to go for the blue.
Oh, and, Pro (like usual) or Pro Max (seems a bit big!).
Exactly! I saw the App Store version was ripped of a few features and subscription-based so was a no-no. Hence trying to get it from Panic.
When I traded in the MBA I had the option of bank transfer or Apple credit and I (foolishly) chose credit because, at the time, my wife was going to trade her iPad and get a new one, so figured the credit would come in handy. She then changed her mind. So at the moment it’s just paying my subscriptions (Apple One, etc.) I guess until it runs out or I buy something.
