I absolutely hate these sorts of nagging popups and I’m happy that a vendor I already have to trust doesn’t pop them up when I acquire a new product and sign it into my Apple account.
Imo, if this were to happen, it should happen by allowing devices like the pebble watch to sign into an Apple account and acquire permissions through that process rather than nagging on my phone on pairing.
- dns_snek 2y agoWhat are you proposing exactly? What can be simpler than a single Yes/No prompt?
- recursive 2y agoNo prompts. No interoperability with non-Apple products or services. Maximum security. Minimum interaction with unwashed masses.
- fiddlerwoaroof 2y agoI think I was pretty clear. You setup your pebble watch via openid connect/oauth like any other API client. No nag popups, manual Bluetooth pairing, etc.
- dns_snek 2y agoThat's way more steps, making it more annoying to set up, not less.
- fiddlerwoaroof 2y agoOnly if you consider connecting to a single phone. The advantage of what I’m proposing is the watch would automatically work with whichever other Apple devices are on your account.
