Connect it to iTunes, you can factory reset it there. As long as you know your Apple ID and its password or it is not even connected to an Apple ID, you can reset the phone yourself.

1·1 year agoI just hope they let the user decide, like give us the option to enable/disable side loading. One thing I like about Apple is, that only the App Store is allowed to install anything, which prevents viruses from installing on the phone. I do not want to open the door for hackers.
Even with VLC you can play nearly everything that is found on your network. I stream videos from a simple Windows PC without running Plex or whatever, just a simple shared folder.
Yes, there is a spotify app, too. And each and every music/movie streaming service you want.
I always thought, app developers have a strong opinion, Apple users are rich asses so they charge more.
Lock the screen with the waterdrop icon, so that it does not accidentally does things, when water moves over the display.
No mine says nearly 9hrs in bed, which is correct - shortly before 2am, got out of bed at 10. And the recording graph shows a 3h span from 1:00 to 3:00. All correct.
Seeing your screen is not even possible with dedicated apps like TeamViewer. Because iOS simply does not allow such things. And also the app store is the only instance allowed to install something to your phone, so a virus cannot install just because you call it on some suspicious website. Protect your devices? Don’t click on weird links, only use official apps (like do your banking in your app and not clicking on a link to a banking website), change passwords and passcodes regularly.
It is more likely getting your Apple ID/Cloud hacked than your actual phone. Back then when celebs got hacked - they hacked their clouds, not their phones. After that, Apple forced 2FA. And as long as you are not famous, a high ranked manager in a multimillion$ company or whatever, it’s unlikely, you are even of interest for hackers to even find out, what phone you use.
You still panic? Stay offline, buy a Nokia 3310 and remain happy.
As long as you buy an unlocked phone (without making a contract), you’ll be fine using it in the US with phyiscal or eSIM of your choice. The bands might be slightly different, but they will still work, you won’t notice.
