Request for Enhanced Security Options for iPhone Passwords App (iCloud Keychain)
Right now, Apple’s iCloud Keychain (where saved passwords are stored) relies on the same authentication methods as your iPhone in general: Face ID or device passcode. This means: • If Face ID fails, it falls back to the device passcode. • Anyone with your passcode can unlock not only your phone but also your saved passwords by allowing the phone to go into the “enter iPhone password to view passwords” on the password app. Why this matters if someone knows or coerces your device passcode, they could potentially: • Bypass Face ID • Access sensitive password data • Compromise multiple accounts and could access all passwords I have saved on the password app. So, Let’s say my girlfriend knows my phone passcode, she pretty much then has access to all other password and backup codes I have saved on the password app. For this security vulnerability I believe it would be beneficial to introduce more advanced security options for accessing the Password section on iPhone. Specifically, 1. The ability to require Face ID only, without fallback to device passcode. 2. An option to set a dedicated password just for accessing the Passwords section (separate from the phone passcode). 3. Additional optional layers of protection, such as two-factor authentication or a biometric lock, that would prevent access even if someone knows the device passcode. These features would provide an extra level of security for users who are concerned about unauthorized access if someone gains access to their phone passcode.

Enrollment Could Not Be Completed
I have been trying since January to get myself enrolled in the Apple Developer program. I’ve called customer support, I’ve sent emails, I’ve plead and begged and no avail. First I registered and I was not aware there would be such a steep price point. I couldn’t afford it so I got these emails — then later when I try to re-enroll, it asks me to verify my identity, which I did with my state issued id. So it says I can’t continue. I email and ask why and get this back.. So I call and someone named Mallory who assures me she’s the highest point of escalation under Steve Jobs tells me there is nothing anyone can do, she can’t tell me why it’s not allowed but it’s just not and I’m screwed, then hangs up on me and sends this - and my most recent attempts to continue support just get met with a “We can’t cont your enrollment at this time for one or more reasons”. So I have decided to post every day, every where, as much as possible until someone from Apple corrects this. I can’t seem to get help otherwise.

Request for Confirmation of Paid International Repair Eligibility – iPhone 14 Pro
Dear Apple Support Team, I am writing to request clarification regarding paid service eligibility for my iPhone 14 Pro outside its original country of purchase. Here are the details of my device: Model: iPhone 14 Pro Serial Number: J346337TKY Purchase Date: December 2022 Current Location: Astana, Kazakhstan Warranty Status: Expired I recently visited an Apple Authorized Service Provider in Kazakhstan, and I was informed that my device could not be accepted for repair due to regional restrictions, even on a paid basis. I would appreciate your assistance in confirming whether my device qualifies for paid repair service in Kazakhstan, or if it is strictly limited to service in its country of origin. If not eligible, could you please advise on the nearest country or region where I can receive authorized service? Looking forward to your guidance on the next steps. Best regards, Ruslan D

iOS 26DEV Beta lacks feedback channel, and has been buggy for 4 weeks
From iOS 26Beta1, iOS 26Beta1.1 to iOS 26Beta2. I couldn't log in to the Feedback App for 4 weeks. It kept prompting BUGs and asked me to log in to Feedback. However, the problem was that I couldn't log in to Feedback. So the problem kept repeating. Apple didn't receive any feedback, so Apple thought this was the most successful version in the history of iOS because it didn't receive any feedback.

Understanding Battery Usage Percentage Calculation in iOS 26
Hello, I have a question regarding the new battery usage interface in iOS 26. As shown in the attached screenshot, the system displays battery usage per app as a percentage (%). I’m curious about how this percentage is calculated. From what I can tell, it doesn’t seem to reflect the actual battery consumption per process, excluding the device’s base standby power. It rather appears to be calculated as a relative percentage based on total battery drain, possibly including system idle power. Is there any way to understand or estimate the actual battery usage per app, excluding the device’s inherent standby power consumption? Thank you.

Is smaller sample data OK to use?
Hi there! I was planning on using a data set of summer college programs for my swift app submission and I'm currently working to get the best data possible, but its proving rather difficult. I was wondering if its acceptable to use mock data or just a smaller set of around 150 entries if i cant get a large enough quality data set in time. Also, i figure it is, but im not sure if its acceptable to use a python web scraper even though its a swift challenge. Thanks!

Independent Technician from Chile Publishes Surgical Apple XR Restore Lab – POSIX Environment, Public Portfolio, Formal Apple Request
Hello engineers, technicians and Apple community, I'm an autodidact technician from Temuco, Chile. I have built a fully documented surgical Apple restore lab focused on extreme intervention and analysis for a disabled iPhone XR. The restoration was executed using POSIX infrastructure (MSYS2/UCRT64, WSL2, Hyper-V) with manual compilation of essential tools (libirecovery, img4tool, libimobiledevice). All scripting, bootchain traces and environment diagnostics have been published for public review. 🔧 GitHub repository (public): https://github.com/Robinson-bastias/apple-xr-surgical-lab 📄 PDF portfolio (attached): Apple_XR_Surgical_Portfolio.pdf I have submitted a formal technical request to Apple Developer Support with full rights, asking for community engagement and further access to devices for expanded research. My goal is to contribute surgical technical insight, empower autodidact technicians in underserved regions, and help strengthen Apple restoration transparency from the ground. All traces, interventions and logs are public and replicable. Feedback, validation or references to Apple restoration mechanisms are deeply appreciated. Thank you for considering this independent initiative. – Robinson Miguel Bastías Leiva Technical operator / autodidact Temuco, Chile

Updated my Apple Watch to watchOS 26 beta to test it — can't pair it now after downgrading iPhone
Hi everyone, I updated my iPhone 16 Pro to iOS 26 beta and my Apple Watch to watchOS 26 beta because I wanted to test out the new features. After a few days of testing, I found the iOS 26 beta too unstable and laggy for daily use, so I downgraded my iPhone back to iOS 18.5 stable. Now my Apple Watch is still running watchOS 26 beta. I tried resetting it to factory settings, hoping that would help, but now I can’t pair it back to my iPhone because it requires iOS 26 again — which I don’t want to reinstall and don't want to use it till it's stable. Is there any way to downgrade my Apple Watch back to a stable version or somehow pair it again with my iPhone running iOS 18.5? Thanks in advance for any help!

New Finder window always on the wrong display
In my setup, the largest external display is Primary, and that's where I do most of my work. The other two external monitors are smaller, and far enough away that I can't use them for viewing text. However, when I open a new Finder window (e.g. cmd-N), it often opens on one of the non-Primary displays, which means I need to drag it to the Primary. What is the algorithm used by the Finder to decide where new windows are placed? I would like to specify that all new Finder windows should open on the Primary display.
