Uhm, conjecture? The Reddit poster complained about app/media store lock, if they lost something more important like iCloud with photos and email that'd be a totally different story instead of "I lost some movies".
- tolmasky 3y agoIf you read the rest of the thread, its clear the entire account was locked. That's why they were told to get a new account. The expectation is not that he use one account for email and another for... new movies?
- ezfe 3y agoThey said the issue manifested when trying to update an app. If the account was disabled, they'd get system errors saying iCloud couldn't be reached/account errors. Second, they only ever said they asked the rep about their purchase content. Nowhere in the thread do they imply they lost anything else.
- throwaway290 3y agoUhm, then the rest of this subthread is conjecture? Typical HN sensationalizing/piling on. Losing bought content is bad but not like having all personal stuff locked. and nowhere the poster complained about the second.
