Start here: If you forgot the passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support

I must agree with you, had my battery upgraded and the phone still runs poorly after upgrading . So I have a choice move to Android or spend a lot of money on a new iPhone. I think I am going to make the switch to Android and as far as app's I have very rarely paid for an app. It will be a big move since everything computer I have is Apple however after this I am turned off on Apple and will make the move in the coming weeks to a Samsung Galaxy 8.

Good by Apple it has been fun until now.

To take the issue on the road (and record upload it) may make for some curious

or funny video that may have millions of followers online, and a portion of fame.

However if you don't participate in the ownership game, you'd never know for

sure when the game has changed ~ or when those issues you've found in your

experience with Apple, had been addressed. Or if they're hardware or software.

Not sure if you should include those best geek dudes in your video without mention.

Did it help to see if you could use GPS with cell data and not wi-fi?

Tried to keep all those extras turned off in my iPhone. Except when I needed a browser

and found all that was offline because I was out of wi-fi range. Hard to search for phone

number by name of business, without the ads in search engine of browser, loading up.

Duh...

type in the current Apple ID and password

everything works

Activation lock can't be removed.

Only the previous owner (with his credentials) can do it.  Sorry

It would not slow the watch down.

When activated on your iPhone's service plan, the built-in cellular capability on Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS + Cellular) enables certain features to remain available when using your Apple Watch away from the paired iPhone, when they would not be available on other models.

The functions that are available on your Apple Watch when it is away from your iPhone depend on various factors including:

• Your Apple Watch model:
  • Apple Watch - Compare - Apple
• The features of your carrier service plan:
  • Apple Watch - Carriers - Apple
  • Make a call with Wi-Fi Calling - Apple Support
• The type of connectivity that is available to your Apple Watch at the time:
  • About Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and cellular on your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Features and requirements that apply under various circumstances are detailed here, including within the footnotes:

• How to use your Apple Watch without your iPhone nearby - Apple Support

You don't have to check. iPhones cannot get viruses unless jailbroken.

There is no square at the bottom of the Facebook app to close it. You close the Facebook App by clicking on the home Button of your iPhone like any other app.

Facebook on the App Store

If you are tapping an icon like: then you are viewing the Facebook website in Safari.

As said if you are using Safari to open the Facebook website, then what you are seeing is the iCloud Tabs for Safari.

For example:

You can turn off the Safari Tabs as explained above to no longer see it, or just wait for it to go away on its own. If you don't have another device using your Apple ID at this point, you can safely turn off in iCloud and that shout remove the name immediately.

I've never heard about an app that was automatically offloaded (unless unused, and the settings was enabled).

But you can submit your comments/request to Apple directly, using this link: Product Feedback - Apple

We're just users like yourself.
