AppleCare Theft and Loss Is Not Automatic: Apple Requires Find My to Stay On
Adding AppleCare with Theft and Loss coverage to a new iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone Duo or Apple Watch this week does not, by itself, guarantee a claim gets paid later. Apple’s own theft and loss claims page states the coverage requires Find My to have been turned on at the time the device was lost…
Selling Your Old iPhone This Week? Erasing It Does Not Remove Activation Lock
Trading an old iPhone in toward an iPhone 18 Pro or iPhone Duo, or simply selling it directly this week, does not become safer just because the device has been erased first.

iPhone 18 Pro and Find My: Losing Power Does Not Erase Its Last Known Location
A number of buyers activating a new iPhone 18 Pro this weekend are also treating an old iPhone as untraceable the moment it runs out of charge in a shipping box or a resale envelope. Apple’s own Find My support page says otherwise: once a device stops reporting a current location, Find My keeps showing…

Apple’s own shipping page states plainly that “most shipments require a signature for delivery.” What Apple does not state anywhere in the pages reviewed is what happens next if nobody is there on a Friday to provide one.

Why watchOS 27 won't install on a new Apple Watch paired to an older iPhone
Buying Apple Watch Series 12 or Ultra 4 does not guarantee watchOS 27 will install on it tomorrow. Apple’s watchOS page states the update requires the paired iPhone to already be an iPhone 11 or later, or an iPhone SE (2nd generation or later), running iOS 27, and that condition applies to a brand new…
Apple Pay Reaches 89 Markets While Tap to Pay on iPhone Covers Just 50, and They Are Not the Same Service

iPhone 18 Pro Order Status: Where Apple Actually Says to Check It
Apple gives an iPhone 18 Pro buyer three places to check an order, and every one of them runs through the Apple Account used at checkout rather than a standalone tracking number.

iPhone Duo: Four Questions Its Own Developer Site Still Cannot Answer
Apple has told app developers a great deal about building for iPhone Duo since the September 9 keynote.

Apple One Undercuts Its Six Services by Up to 47 Percent, All Now Priced on Their Own
Apple One costs $21.95, $27.95 or $39.95 a month, and Apple’s own pages now carry a current standalone US price for every service inside it.
