       apple nonsense

       My son has in iPad. It's actually one that I nabbed from work when
       we left the states. It's his only tech device. He uses it and
       abuses it as only a kid can.
       
       I recently picked up an iPad for work. I build sales aid things
       that live on them and needed one for testing. That brought our
       total apple devices in the house to two, so I figured it was time
       to get us set up on the family stuff.
       
       I was logged into both iPads with my apple ID because my kid is
       a kid and didn't have his own. When I created the family thingy
       I added him and now he's got his own apple identity. The only
       problem is, the process didn't ask for a password creation. 
       
       I realized yesterday that both iPads are still under my ID, so
       I went to switch his to his ID and got stuck at the login screen.
       I didn't have a password for him, so I followed the link to reset
       it. After verifying the request via his email address and my phone
       (text) Apple informed me that I'd get a note about the reset in
       a few days.
       
       In a few days?
       
       Well I just got the email, a full day later, and I'm not
       impressed. Apparently someone from Apple is going to call my phone
       number on November 15th at a very specific time (quite late,
       actually). That's my reset process? Seriously? Apple, the richest
       company on Earth, and that's the plan?
       
       I've never been a fan of Apple. I just don't understand the appeal
       at all. Even the stuff they're supposed to be good at is utter
       shit. I really wish I could go from 2 devices to 0.
