I hate Apple more and more as time progresses.
I used to like Apple just fine, back when I didn't have to work with Apple products, and even after I started supporting a few iPhones, iPads and even a few MacBooks and iMacs.
But the more it goes the more they over-complicate things for sysadmins and make their systems worse and worse.
The result is that now I literally have a half-dozen lightly used iPhone 5 and 6 and at least two iPad Air I can't use because the lines are disconnected and when I try to wipe them Apple's (real shitty) two factor authentication - which they enabled by default on all their fucking devices some time ago - insists on sending me a text message or voice call to...
... a disconnected line.
Then you try to recover the account because of course it's your last resort and they put you on a 24h waiting list.
Apple: You guys know these are fleet phones, you guys know I'm the sysadmin. You know how I know? Because your Apple sales reps call me regularly to make sure I continue in the more and more unlikely path to purchase Apple products.
So why the fuck am I on a 24h waiting list to recover a corporate account?
I swear I'd rather have a BluSky 70$ phone or an 80$ Polaroid Android tablet than to ever buy another Apple ever again.
At least when I wipe an Android phone it just assumes it's intentional and does it.
Apple = bullshit
