| 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. |
