>Apple has a vision where you have an iPhone and a mac at home and a mac at work and a vision pro and an Apple TV and all of that and your passcodes "just work".
I have many of those and I fucking don't want them to "just work". My iPad is not my iPhone. My Mac Mini is not my iPhone. Yet my iPad at home pops up the speech-to-text voicemail notifications from phone calls that I chose not to answer while I am miles away at work. It's so fucking annoying that you can't specifically turn that off.
It's funny.
My usual "go kit" has my iPhone in my leg bag and then my iPad is either my main bag or one of those pouches that waitresses wear which has plenty of room to pack a tablet. I like using the hotspot (being parsimonious with data) and being able to respond to texts with tbe big screen. It's also nice that I can share passwords and passkeys easily between them.
Other aspects of the "Apple Lifestyle" make no sense to me, like I an a mirrorless photographer and use my iPhone like my Sony, I will go out with my selfie stick and shoot 200 selfies, transfer them to my computer, pick the best 3, them clear them all out.
I plugged my iPhone into my Mac when my wife was logged in and it tries to back up the whole 'freakin phone and renames it "Olivia's Phone" which is just nuts. Of course their answer is that you never clean out your phone, you just upload it all to iCloud, where I think the value proposition is you can pay $1 a month and stop all the dialogs nagging you to get it... Now only if I could have made the badge for Apple Arcade to go away by trying the free trial and canceling it!
