This is true of most objects that are constantly worn on your skin - my engineering ring has created a near-permanent indent in my pinky finger. It fades over time when it's not worn. It's an odd thing to hold against a wearable.

I think the other answers are misinterpreting your question. A user is held "hostage" because unlike fastmail where the format is word.salad@yourdomain; if you ever wanted to ditch iCloud completely, you'd have to go through every single account you used it for and update the email. As someone who has shed his gmail account I can tell you it's not easy to update email address on every site you've ever used it on. The issue people are raising is that apple doesn't let you use your own domain, and generate random emails at that domain. Not my complaint, but I can see the perspective.

The issue is not whether it works; it’s whether someone can stay compliant long enough for it to work

News to me! Since my usage is just a hobby app I’m definitely implementing this action response - thank you

I’ve just received a budget alert for $25 million! I also created an urgent ticket but haven’t heard back.

Apple wallet is smoother to swipe through

> So really the ideal is not just having an app that generates a token but one that generates a specific type of token depending on what type of transaction you're performing and won't accept, for example, a login token when adding a new payee. I haven't seen any bank with that level of 2fa yet, has anyone else?

Some banks in India have a separate “transaction password” that’s required to operate on the account vs just login and view balances. It’s not a rotating token, but it’s somewhat close to what you’re suggesting.

I use my own domain for all email, but as I age, something that has started to concern me is the longevity of email going to my domain. No-one in my family is very tech-savvy so it's entirely possible they don't know to renew my domain and will end up losing all my incoming email as a result. In this sort of scenario, a big provider like Gmail which will clearly outlast me seems more reliable to pass on this account. Has anyone formulated a plan for someone inheriting your email account?

That's precisely what happens with SIMs in India. When a SIM swap happens, text messages are blocked for 24 hours to allow a customer to alert the operator before one time codes resume sending to the new SIM

I think it is just a transition period until they can get rid of models with the switch in their lineup. Since the action button is now configurable, it could soon turn back into just focus modes as the configurable way to silence your phone

You could make some sort of art - in the climbing community old ropes often become chalk bags or carpets etc.

I'll bet the higher valuation is because of their investment in OpenAI
