Heh heh heh... I have plenty of iPhones. Probably more than you do.
And I have plenty of iPads. Plus plenty of Androids. And PCs too.

Remember.... I use these devices to test the *truth* about products.

Which is why I set up the new iPads first, without an Apple ID.
Which was to *test* the *truth* about how it works without an Apple ID.
Which - let's be frank - is an iPad is worthless without an Apple ID.

Which proves the point that Apple designed iOS as a dumb terminal.
Devoid of even the most basic of functionality without logging into Apple.

Having proved that fact, I decided to add an Apple ID to that new iPad.
That's when I found out you *must* add 2FA (since Feb2023).

Only Apple forces you to murder your privacy.
Nobody else does. Only Apple.

Moving forward, since the iPad is a dumb terminal, I added a new Apple ID.
My daily drive is an Android phone. So that's the phone number I used.

Sure, it worked.
But now I have to have Android with me just to log into my Apple device.

That's absurd.
Only Apple could come up with such a ridiculously absurd policy.

Because most Apple customers are ignorant sheep the policy will remain.
Apple customers will put up with anything - they're all ignorant sheep.

The fact is Apple murdered privacy.
And, for me, I have to carry two devices just to log into the Apple one.
