Discussion Topics

App Subscriptions - PDF Expert from Readdle is one of Dave's all time favorite PDF apps and they did a major upgrade to v7 and for years they were just charging a flat $10 for the pro features. We talk about this change and other App subscriptions like Adobe and others are they worth it?

Another Way to turn this off

Settings > Accessibility > Face ID & Attention

• Apple TV Tip Delete Apps and managing them. We discuss.
• Did you know Find my iPhone works on devices like the HomePod? All you do is ask Siri where is my Apple Watch, iPhone, or iPad.
