apple nonsense | |

---------------------------------------- | |
My son has in iPad. It's actually one that I nabbed from work when | |
we left the states. It's his only tech device. He uses it and | |
abuses it as only a kid can. | |
I recently picked up an iPad for work. I build sales aid things | |
that live on them and needed one for testing. That brought our | |
total apple devices in the house to two, so I figured it was time | |
to get us set up on the family stuff. | |
I was logged into both iPads with my apple ID because my kid is | |
a kid and didn't have his own. When I created the family thingy | |
I added him and now he's got his own apple identity. The only | |
problem is, the process didn't ask for a password creation. | |
I realized yesterday that both iPads are still under my ID, so | |
I went to switch his to his ID and got stuck at the login screen. | |
I didn't have a password for him, so I followed the link to reset | |
it. After verifying the request via his email address and my phone | |
(text) Apple informed me that I'd get a note about the reset in | |
a few days. | |
In a few days? | |
Well I just got the email, a full day later, and I'm not | |
impressed. Apparently someone from Apple is going to call my phone | |
number on November 15th at a very specific time (quite late, | |
actually). That's my reset process? Seriously? Apple, the richest | |
company on Earth, and that's the plan? | |
I've never been a fan of Apple. I just don't understand the appeal | |
at all. Even the stuff they're supposed to be good at is utter | |
shit. I really wish I could go from 2 devices to 0. |
