Re: Apple aims to ditch iPhone passcodes

2013-02-10 Thread Sarah k Alawami
Knowing apple you are probably right, but I thought I would put the word  out 
there just in case. It's a brilliant idea, if you are sighted. lol! and by the 
time this happens, a few years down the road let's say, apple will have come 
out with something way easier for us to use anyways.

Tc all and be blessed.

know, it just seems like if you're going off a picture, it doesn't

We'll see what happens in the next few years. 

Who knows they might come up with a way for us to do  like that level in hunter

see.
