Just an interesting side effect of apple updating. First of the week someone in my office installed the earlier updates. Was receiving Apple based text messages but not phone number based text messaging. So he couldn’t log into a couple of apps that relied on text messages to a phone. We discovered that if you went into settings, scroll down to phone, there was no phone number registered. We hard shut off the phone and rebooted it and then all of a sudden the text messages came in.
Always remember to hard shut down your phones on a regular basis especially when they start misbehaving.

Any un-updated OS is a security risk, yet people still using Windows XP, 7, 8.1..
Or iPhone 8..
In this case common sense rules with everything online if users are content with what they have.
Upgrading from your current device depends mostly on your budget.
I would recommend an Apple Silicon iPad. M3 iPad with OLED screen may be released next year.
Do you have any experience with Apple refurbished models
I my self don’t, but friends did and they approved the quality.
Alex, Thanks for the great recommendation. I received an 8th gen refurbished iPad at a real good price and am very happy with it. I’ll like get an additional 12″ later gen iPad in addition.
Great work!

Did you read the link provided? I want the feature (??) removed from Contacts as it takes too much vertical space. As the original Apple poster, I don’t want to scroll down to see details of each contact. I much prefer the designs found in 16.x.
The way I see it, the Contact Photo & Poster feature is geared towards non-business users and it should be optional.
PS: your link misses the point. That’s not what I’m looking for.
