I tend to use this feature though as intended. I dropped my XR off down the front of Stanage Edge. When recovered it was badly damaged. Following Monday in an apple store I recovered the backup onto a new 12 and it was exactly as I’d left the XR configuration wise. Saved me hours of futzing.
- wrycoder 5y agoAt least it was just the XR! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanage_Edge https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanage_Edge
- hvgk 5y agoThat’s the one! The XR did manage to upload all the photos to iCloud when we got in range of a cell tower. Also the rear glass didn’t break, only the screen. Apple replaced the screen under AppleCare and my daughter still has the phone.
