Is it really about costumers? ....Apple vs FBI

What the FBI is really asking vs Apple marketing campaign

I had to put my two cents in this matter since it really aggravates me the amount of miss interpretation it could come from all this tweets from Apple vs. FBI. 

Apple vs FBI

In a nut shell what the FBI is asking to Apple is to allow them inside one single iPhone. The one used by terrorists in the San Bernadino attack. The phone apparently is locked and the FBI is asking Apple help to unlock the phone. 

Now Apple has started a big anti-FBI campaign and included all their costumers on it. Of course in the mean time they are using all this to market their phones as so secure  that not the FBI can access it. I am not so sure about the so claimed security since the iCloud has been hacked before.

What it bothers me the most is this that this is a matter of national security and Apple is basically using it to gain costumers (IMO). 

We are all entitled to believe whatever we want but I just wish people would be more informed.

Clean and disassociate used iPad / iPhone before selling it.

Things to do before selling or transferring  your used iPad/ iPod/ iPhone.

It is Christmas season and a lot of people are getting a new upgraded iPad or iPhone. Some might

decide to sell or gave their devices to other people or family members.

Before selling your device make sure you have erase all your personal data as pictures, files, music, etc. To do that go to settings, general and select "erase all content and settings".

Also, you will need to go to open  your itunes application on your computer. Sign in with your itunes account and then view your associated devices and removed the one that you want to sale or transfer. There is a period of 90 days to disassociate a device. It might not let you disassociate a device that has been linked to your itunes in the last 30 days.

This might sound cumbersome but it is worth doing it.

So my tip for today:

Please make sure you have cleaned all your personal info from you device before you sale it and in case of doubt go to apple support website. There is plenty of information there to help users out.
