I'm trying to figure out whether or not I need to do a full or partial erase of my iPhone to deal with what looks like some malware that surfaced overnight
So far it's just put a ton of stuff on the phone's calendar for the next few days - with shit like "your phone may be infected!" Nothing else.
For now I have it on Airplane Mode and turned off while I figure out WTF to do, as it seems like in-person help isn't available until Monday at the soonest

(And I changed several passwords and disconnected a number of things, just in case.)
Update - Apple Support chat bro sorted all this out with me.

Calendar spam is a pain in the ass - sounds like that what it was?

So it seems. I'm hoping that's ALL it was.
I gave the Apple support guy a glowing survey response, he was incredibly knowledgeable and patient.

Curious about leather phone cases - are the cows killed just for the leather or is their skin used as a by product when theyrβe killed for meat?

i'm about to make my mac mini m1 (which RULES) 40% better one with 1 crazy trick

it's the bottom part, for $80, and it adds the things it should had in the first place, in the front so you don't have to be a jackass scraping up behind your desk to plug-in a goddamn headphone

prime reason for purchase is to fix the stupid SD omission. i mean, i can get a dongle, but fuck yoooooooou apple, you used to be the thing that was good for people doing stuff
― Zach_TBD (Karl Malone), Friday, 7 May 2021 02:27 (two years ago) link
in fairness, how often are people still using flash cards and usb drives these days?

anyone with a camera uses an SD card
― π ππ’π¨ (caek), Friday, 7 May 2021 03:06 (two years ago) link
yeah. it's just annoying and kind of signals a shift away from a certain crowd. i wish they'd make an extension of their products that just put all the ports that everyone wants on the side.
― Zach_TBD (Karl Malone), Friday, 7 May 2021 03:10 (two years ago) link
I fucking hate Apple for so many reasons tonight piece of shit new M1 Mac and Adobe and bullshit reading of how full the disk is and USB dongles and disks telling me off for not ejecting them properly because presumably the dongle moved a millimetre and I can't log out because I have to wait for thousands of things to empty from the trash so I end up aborting that process like so many other things and all I want to fucking do is get the photos off my wife's full iPhone but the worst of it all was when her stupid 5kg old MacBook slid off the bed and on to my bare toes and Jesus it hurts.
― Alba, Friday, 7 May 2021 03:12 (two years ago) link
i can see the argument for dropping ports from a mac mini of all their machines. it's supposed to be small, and if you need the ports then connecting a dongle is less hassle on a non-portable.
my port complaint right now is that they put the two usb-c ports on the m1 macbook air on the same side. two is fine! but put them on either side! i assume this means they only need one usb controller, so it saves space/money etc. but the old macbook air managed usb-a ports on both sides.

Is now the right time for somebody (the lovely Emma B) to upgrade to an M1 laptop? Just basic officey stuff, no real heavy lifting.

The new Hello screensaver is a thing of beauty - but only available if you have latest Big Sur update, I think.
― Luna Schlosser, Friday, 7 May 2021 08:52 (two years ago) link
(that's a standalone observation, not offered as a reason to upgrade)

I wish Apple would pay some consideration to how these things look IRL and not just in the sterile confines on an Apple Store table.

I don't know if we've got a lemon or just a very bad install of Adobe CC, but our M1 MacBook Pro has been beachballtastic. If it doesn't improve when all the Silicon-native versions of Adobe software are out, I'm going to take it into an Apple Store.
― Alba, Friday, 7 May 2021 17:20 (two years ago) link
would a Macbook Air be a better bet than the Pro? Given the aforementioned lack of need for the serious horsepower etc. One thing I can already tell will drive her insane is the ports though.

The MacBook Air is definitely better value than the Pro, and doesn't have the silly touchbar. I only got a Pro cause it was $100 off so thought the better screen and sound was worth it, even if the better performance is only slightly better.

Last month, Kuo said Apple is planning all-new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with several changes, including the return of the classic MagSafe charging connector with a breakaway power cable, the removal of the Touch Bar, a new flat-edged design, and the return of more ports built into the notebooks for expanded connectivity.
so everyone was right to complain about all that. going back 6 years in time to get it right lol
i reckon the touchbar all usbc macbook pros will go down as the worst iteration of all time.

I'm pretty happy with my 2019 MBP16, but I sure wish I wasn't so reliant on dongles and hubs.
― DJI, Friday, 7 May 2021 18:00 (two years ago) link
cool got it guys. Will wait for more ports.
― One Of The Bad Guys (Tracer Hand), Friday, 7 May 2021 18:16 (two years ago) link
macbook air is better than the current macbook pro. not just cheaper. it's better. it's lighter (and more ergonomic imo). it has no moving parts so it will last longer. it is 5% slower under sustained loads a casual user will literally never reach. there is no reason to buy a macbook pro.
i see no reason for a casual user to wait.

― π ππ’π¨ (caek), Friday, 7 May 2021 18:45 (two years ago) link
admittedly i've not been on the road since i got this, but two usb-c ports is enough for me. like i say, my only complaint is that they're on the same side of the laptop.
i'm not sure about the return of magsafe. it's a great design but everything goes into this m1 laptop (video, power, all accessories) goes in through a single cable. i don't want more cables.
― π ππ’π¨ (caek), Friday, 7 May 2021 18:48 (two years ago) link
a new flat-edged design
reserving judgment but this sounds bad.
― π ππ’π¨ (caek), Friday, 7 May 2021 18:49 (two years ago) link
not even close. the keyboard worked on that one.
thats part of the ones im talking about
― i was too much listening to your accent (Spottie), Friday, 7 May 2021 18:53 (two years ago) link
ah you're right, the introduction of all usb-c was good, but it happened at the same time as the bad keyboard and the touchbar.
