Apple introduces legacy feature in new update

cincylink — Sat, 18 Dec 2021 02:37:07 +0000

This week, Apple released a new software update that includes a digital legacy feature.

Apple's update is similar to legacy features that have already been introduced by social media platforms, including Facebook.

The new program allows users to assign someone responsible for their account when they die. Until now, family members or loved ones had to get a court order to access a person's Apple account after they died.

Liz Weston, a personal finance columnist at NerdWallet, says setting up legacy accounts is as important as estate planning.

"All of us have email accounts. We have photos stored on the web. We have social media accounts," Weston said. "We have all kinds of ways that we have digital assets, and if we don't make a plan for those, those can disappear."

Just like estate planning, Weston says Apple users should have a conversation with the people they choose as a legacy contact. Users may also want to plan on having more than one person hold on to that responsibility.

"You should never do anything in estate planning without talking to the people that you plan to dump this on," Weston said. "If you were getting a power of attorney, for example, so somebody else could make decisions for healthcare and finances, you totally want to talk to them first."

Legacy account planning does differ a bit from estate planning. For instance, Apple's program sends a code to access a deceased person's account. That code should not be included in a will because it could become public.

However, Weston says users may want to store the legacy passcode with estate planning documents or with an attorney.

If the iPhone 9 (SE 2) is truly small, we'd pay $999 for it

cincylink — Tue, 24 Mar 2020 11:00:07 +0000

Recently, rumors about the iPhone 9 or iPhone SE 2 have been percolating, and there's a lot to be excited about. The phone would mark the first follow-up to the 2016 iPhone SE, which was a huge success for Apple. Part of its popularity was the SE's $399 price, making it the first "budget" iPhone. But a significant part of the appeal was how small it was. It's absolutely tiny by today's standards.

CNET editors Vanessa Hand Orellana and Patrick Holland really want the iPhone 9 to be small and they're worried that if it's not, many people (including them) won't buy it. With the iPhone XR and 11, Apple proved it can create phones packed with value. But hopefully the company can make a truly small and modern iPhone.

What the iPhone 9 (SE 2) needs to be a success

cincylink — Thu, 23 Jan 2020 13:00:10 +0000

The iPhone SE from 2016 was Apple's first budget phone and a new version of it called the iPhone 9 or iPhone SE 2 might be coming out this spring. Rumors of an iPhone SE 2 have been percolating for a couple of years, and the timing couldn't be better.

But in order for the iPhone 9 to be a success it needs to recapture some of that original iPhone SE mojo. With the iPhone XR and 11, Apple proved it can create phones packed with value. And it seems likely that the company could do the same for a truly budget iPhone.
