Mine isn’t as reliable as it should be. But I noticed recently my location was tied to my iPad instead of my iPhone, so that was messing it up.

Interesting read.
Apple just about managed to hide the fact they really don’t like this, not.
I’m hoping for as little customisation as possible, I’d what drove me away from Android!

Do apple like money?
Does this cost apple money in terms of support “broken handsets” etc.
You have your answer
But the examples given here at least to me are exactly this. I’m not sure they can be any none pirate reasons for sideloading.
There are many low quality apps for sure, but never once have I thought that if I download this, I’ll get a virus.
I’ve never felt that secure about google play or similar.

What he says the big flaw is:
The stolen device protection and security delay doesn’t apply at “familiar locations” so thieves can still change ur Apple ID password etc at these locations.
The phone doesn’t tell you exactly where these locations are. All you can see is the significant locations (which familiar locations is based off) in privacy settings.
His suggestions:
Turn off significant locations and delete the history. This means you can’t use your passcode when faceid fails even at familiar locations.
He suggested to have an alphanumeric passcode too.
He also said to disable most things in “allow access when locked” like control centre etc in the FaceID and passcode settings.

Andrew’s screenshot shows that thiojoe’s suggestion is redundant becuase Apple lets you specify where the security delay is active (ie everywhere includes familiar locations) so you don’t have to turn off significant locations and delete its history.

Overshadowed by all the other (EU mandated) changes is also the announcement though from Apple that they will start supporting game streaming apps, globally, in the App Store. Things like Xbox Cloud Gaming and GeForce Now.
Apple have always insisted that Game Streaming Apps cannot be supported as they’d want every single game in the app to also be reviewed and rated.
It does (slightly) make one of their big selling points - at least for the iPhone Pro, a bit harder to make with their efforts to get AAA games ported over though (like Assassins Creed and Resident Evil games). Why would developers go to that extra step when they’re available on Xbox cloud streaming anyway?

How on earth is that a bug?
I’ve always thought it a bit odd that companies would pay to put advertisements in podcasts when it’s so trivially easy to skip them.

I don’t have a HomePod but “Hey, Siri! Skip forward 30 seconds“ should do just that (you may need to do it a few times - or change 30 seconds to a minute).

Podcasts that respect their listeners have chapter markers in their episodes, and they’re often either end of an ad break. You can just blurt “skip chapter” at Siri if that’s the case.

Huh?
I presume that you did the whole delete restart reinstall app thing. Because it’s working fine for me and I am a very heavy user of YT

My Apple Pay since updating to 17.4 has been a piece of work where it’d just not wanna recognise my phone is on the terminals. Takes a couple attempts.
But you still want to use the service(s)!
This reminds me of people who hate Facebook but are all over Instagram.

I’m always baffled how people are so protective over their data.
I kinda get it, but personally think it’s over the top considering they go online and there’s pretty much always data leaking.
Not an attack, nor personal, I just don’t get the extremes people go to sometimes.

Just an observation. Sorry it made you defensive 
.
Google don’t sell your data. Neither do Facebook. They sell adverts and display them to you based on your data.
Part of my job is overseeing a huge spend on data and Google/Facebook aren’t on our vendor list.
Apple do use “your data” for similar types of tracking. They just call it “Personalised Ads” to make you feel all warm and fuzzy
