Yes, Apple Pay can certainly be used without the home button. You use the side button, which you click twice from a lock screen. Then you do face ID. Then you hold the phone near the reader with the camera facing down. And that’s it. This assumes that you have the Apple card in your wallet, and

In a way, what you seem to be implying is that Apple does not have total control over its products. If that is true, that is a rather disconcerting state of things. I've lost sound a number of times, and I can't imagine how this bug slipped by Apple, and if Apple indeed does not control their

Hi Mary, Maybe whatever version of Overcast one has on a device running iOS 12 will continue to work, but maybe then you won’t get updates. I am actually not just spreading an idea with no basis in fact, I was simply repeating what it said in the “What’s New” for the latest update from 2 days

You can’t use gold by just playing the computer players. The gold is used when you play an actual opponent. If when playing an opponent and you have bonus rolls enabled for that game, it gives you an extra roll. So say you are playing Yahtzee, you normally get 3 rolls before your turn is over.
