Nowadays, in addition to an access code, the iPhone and iPad are also secured on a biometric level using facial recognition (Face ID) or via the fingerprint scanner (Touch ID). If you want to use this security, you must also activate an access code. If you want to change the code afterwards, that is no problem at all.

If you enter the PIN code of your SIM card incorrectly several times, there is a chance that it will be blocked. You can then unblock it with the PUK code. However, it is not always clear how to enter it.

Wednesday, July 17 • Wesley Fabry
Since iOS 17, all iPhone users can join a music session when using CarPlay. When users are listening to music in the car with Apple Music, other trusted iPhones are automatically invited to the session.
Passengers can then control the music from their own device, even if they do not have an Apple Music subscription. This way, all occupants can manage the music and determine the next song. This makes driving together even more fun.
