You technically don't even need to call or anything. If the phone is locked and your pin code isn't something easy to guess, they won't get in. Reporting the phone as lost to the carrier only prevents it from being used on some carriers that share the same database on the off chance you somehow release the phone from your iCloud's activation lock.

No it's not possible to restore the phone and sell it as is. If anyone tries to put the phone in DFU mode to wipe it, first thing it does when it comes back up is asking for the password of the owner's iCloud account. The phone is as good as a brick until the owner either releases it remotely or the correct password is put in.

It basically lets you lock the phone to a particular app so someone can't just exit it and use anything else.

Not sure why your phone is stuck in Guided Access though.

Check if Settings > Accessibility > Guided Access is toggled on. That will also introduce that delay.

I remember there was a story about someone going through that program. Apple basically shipped them ALL the necessary equipment to make sure everything is programmed correctly.

Depends on which carrier. It's only locked coming from Apple.com when you pick ATT financing. All the other options are unlocked.

Typically you can take it to another carrier by asking the original one to unlock the phone. Each carrier has their own policy on the criteria to grant the request.

Usually there are deep discounts on the phone to make it worth it. If someone is paying full price up front then it's better to buy directly from the manufacturer.

You should probably do a full backup, wipe and restore on a Mac or iTunes, cuz that ain't normal, even by iOS 16 standards.

Oooh, I wonder if we're talking about the same employer. My current one (that I'm running away from) has the worst reputation in my field. Pay is nice though, for those sleepless nights when you're on call.

Yeah, it entirely depends on why you left in the first place I suppose. For me I only left because of the compensation, and the new company has more prestige, so good for the resume. Then 9 months later I realized me having a panic attack every time I get paged for production issues isn't worth the brand name and the money they pay me haha.

Samsie. I'm planning my boomerang. My new job ruined my mental health. Sometimes that pay raise really is too good to be true.

As someone who left a job for a new one with an insane pay bump, then it destroyed my mental health, yeahhhh. Sometimes the comp shouldn't be the deciding factor.

15€ extra a month for how long? The 13 Pro is nicer than the regular 14, but not like 360€ nicer if this is for 24 months.

If you really want the 14 PM then just sell the current phone privately. Trading in through Apple isn't worth it unless you have inflated value from carrier deals.

I picked Rich Contrast when I first got the phone, but then my vacation pictures all looked kinda off, so I switched back to Normal.

2 14 Pro on T-Mobile here. We only had trouble switching to from physical sim to esim on launch day. Don't have any service issue since.

For US carriers, yes. Typically they'll let you roam with extremely throttled speeds (like 128kbps or 256kbps), and you can pay something like $10/day for high speed data (Verizon will be 500MB for that). T-Mobile gives you 5GB of high speed data roaming all over the world on their most expensive plan, which not everyone is willing to pay for.

There was a real world incident a few weeks ago:

And this is from Apple's documentation:

> When your device makes this automatic call, it plays a looped audio message to emergency responders and out loud over your device speakers. This message informs emergency services that your Apple device detected a severe car crash and that you're unresponsive. It also shares your estimated latitude and longitude coordinates with a search radius.

I noticed it on my 12 Pro when I first got it and had it side by side with my old 11. I had this same color filter setting turned on up until recently. The 14 Pro doesn't seem to have the same issue thankfully.
