Make no mistake, Apple has no compunctions whatsoever to use incessant nagging and degraded user experience to push you where they want you.

- TavsiE9s 4y agoUp until this change I was using iMazing on Windows to have daily local backups of my devices. It supports backing up via WiFi. Now it nags me every day to enter my passcode on my devices. :-(

- avgcorrection 4y agoThe theory that Apple is doing something in order to get more money is a conspiracy theory? Call it a profit theory instead. Could be wrong, could be right, but it’s no more a conspiracy than planning a Friday party.
