    The fact that you ignorant uneducated MAGA Apple trolls didn't "notice"
    what was common knowledge around the world is par for the course.

    This is from the same WolfFan who claims he's the only person on the planet who found a secret way to get around Apple's 2FA requirements for new Apple Accounts.

    None of you ignorant uneducated MAGA Apple trolls knows anything about
    Apple.

    This is the same WolfFan who claimed he updated his apps without an Apple
    ID, which you can do only for certain corporate and developer situations.

    We did not notice "it" because it did not cause us any problems.

    The main point of this bug that brought down the Cupertino matrix is that
    you Apple trolls are living in a matrix that only Apple built into iOS.

    No other common operating system requires the mothership servers to work.
    Just Apple.

    That's important. Not only when the matrix goes down but for many things. Paradoxically, privacy is impossible on an Apple computers, for example.

    There can never be privacy when everything you do is thru Apple's servers. Think about that before you respond please.

    It's high level critical thought processes that all you Apple trolls lack.

    If a Google service goes down you might not get new mail, access Drive
    or Photos. Maps or YouTube may quit working - I have seen those two myself.

    While it's obvious I know Apple products better than you MAGA trolls do...
    I also know Google's Android much better than any of you MAGA trolls do.

    I haven't had a Google Account on my Android for many years, Tom.
    If Google goes down... nothing happens.

    However, if Apple goes down, every dumb terminal iOS device dies.
    Apple designed iOS as a dumb terinal not for you - but for Apple.

    That is total bullshit. None of my daily use apps depend on iCloud or my
    Apple account.

    Do you even know what happens if you log into your Apple account just once,
    and never log back into that Apple account ever again?

    Do you?

    Seriously. Do you have any idea what happens?

    HINT: I do.

    Trust me I know more about this than all you Apple trolls combined.
    The reason is I've tested what happens.

    You have not.

    You will not like what happens if you never log into Cupertino ever again.

    Hint: Bring your government ID along with you to the Apple store.

    Ask me how I know this fact.
