I've got a less than year old iPhone 13. A week ago it just quit working. After trynig all kinds of DIY updates / restores, Apple finally said bring it to the Apple store. Did that and they were able to resurrect it (true story: dude plugged it in a viola! it came back to life, frick!). We updated all of the software, etc... tested it out and went on my way.

Sunday, it happened again. Stopped in the Apple store on the way home and they checked it out and said it needed a hardware repair and come pick it up the next day.

Got it back and here is where the PIA (or more realistically, the second round of PIA) starts:

I had to start fresh, no problem, everything is backed up in iCloud.

BUT, I'm logged out of everything... AND Apple wallet is logged out of everything. Have to go get all of the cards re-entered including calling all of the banks to enable Wallet again.

You never realize how many apps you logged into over time and just enabled FaceID or whatever to get a quick login again. All of those have to be redone, including confirming FaceID again with each app.

First world problems are a PIA.

So you'd rather phone you rebuilt "remember" all your login information and wallet security credentials, and, you trust Apple iCloud to store your financial access information?

Not so much the phone, but there’s a solution potential here that could be a lot better.

Local credit union debit cards. Barclays credit card.

Heck I even think I had to call chase for business debit card.

I think capital one credit cards were the only ones that verified with an sms delivered code.
