    How the fuck can they require you to have an apple device to reset the password?!?

      My favorite is when they send a 2fa prompt to your phone when you’re trying to use find my iPhone

        Actually find my is specifically excluded from the 2fa requirement. There may be a prompt but you can proceed to the find my iPhone screen without the code.

      Apple loves to do that kind of shit.

      For instance, you can’t factory reset an iPhone without connecting it to either an OSX computer, or a PC running their special program. Don’t ask me what’s wrong with just holding down power and volume up, or whatever. Like every other phone on Earth can do.

        This is patently untrue. Settings -> General -> Transfer or Reset iPhone. You have the option from there to wipe all data, do a full factory reset, or transfer the phone’s data to another device.

        I’ve no idea where you’re getting your info from.
