if you know html coding , that web site has already gather a lot of information about your device . since you click on the link.

My main concern is how many mild scratches you get comparatively.

If going with a screen protector means on average you'll have 10 scratches in a year, but going no protector means you'd only have 5, I'll stick with no protector.

Of course if they scratch exactly the same then it's probably always a good idea to get one until apple will replace a scratched screen.

Anything that requires you to click a link is a scam.

Thing is, I wasn't suspicious of the email. Since I'm not a native English speaker, the words just went past my brain and I read them the way they were supposed to be written. I was suspicious when I opened the link. While it was loading I glanced over the link and it just didn't seem right so I lfet the site before it even loaded

If you clicked on the link, change your Apple password immediately.

Phishing links like this (usually) simply just require you to click on them, then it immediately sends your credentials for the account they’re trying to access back to the scammer. A major red flag that is what is happening, is if you happen to click the link, and it opens up the application on your phone. That tells you that they just got your username and password for that account. However, just because you click the link and the application doesn’t open, doesn’t mean they still didn’t get your credentials.

Never, and I mean, never click on links that you don’t recognize, or have any doubt toward their legitimacy. Better safe than sorry by just not clicking the link to begin with.

Again, since you did click the link, I highly recommend changing the password for your Apple account immediately. Even if you clicked the link and immediately exited out, it doesn’t matter. If they were phishing for your information and just needed you to click the link to get it, then they got it as soon as you clicked.

I’ve worked Cyber Security for a very long time now, I see scams like these all of the time, have learned how to identify them pretty quickly, and figured out what they do and how they do it. Always be on the lookout, some of the emails I’ve seen look pretty damn legit, but there is always a way to point out a fraudulent email from a real one.

The misspellings and incorrect grammar alone should tell you this is 100% a scam.

Another thing you can do though when you’re unsure, is tap on the sender’s name, and it will show you the email address of where it came from. If it is not from an official company domain, then it is a scam. In this case, it would have come from an “@apple.com” domain, but I can tell you for a fact that it didn’t.

CashApp scams are a big one to look out for. You’ll get an email with the sender name of “CashApp”, but when you tap on the name, the email will be an “@gmail.com” domain, which is obviously not official.

When are we getting social credit scores?!

12 Mini here, 14 months in use (bought refurbished). Had to change my screen protector 5 months ago because I did a terrible job glueing the first one.

Had a protector on my huawei before, same protector for three years straight, none to mild scratches only.

Just invest the 15$ for a quite good one (most come in a pack of two). You won’t regret it, but please don’t put your keys in the same pocket as your phone. The camera is not protected whatsoever.

iOS 15.6 is still being signed, from which you can update to 15.7.

Apple Card in the UK would be nice. Or even Apple Cash.

Never click on the links if you’re suspicious about the email.

Sure

That’s exactly what I was going to say.

Uhm, I think I saw that MKBHD put that fully specced Mac in Apple’s trade-in program and got only like 1000$ for it so…good luck with that lol

Some mail that wants you to do something before some time elapsed if you don’t want to die a horrible death is almost never ever ever ever legit.

If they start offering MacBook Pros as an incentive to refinance with them, I’d consider

Jeez scammers should really invest in grammarly the amount of grammatical errors is astonishing

Whoever wrote this definitely dropped English as their second language in high school 🤦🏻‍♂️

Apple emails don’t have the Generic google profile pic the official profile picture is the company logo

What is the best screen protector for the iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max?

I also have a 12 mini and it shows the same issues your does. Just wish I could go back to iOS 15.7.

That’s comically fake

Yes

With all the (pretty good) jokes and memes over here, Apple is honestly brilliant for doing this. There’s a true addiction for their brand on the market and I can actually see many many people using this. Broke, “bad with money” people, but many nonetheless.

I’m not worried about myself. I’m worried about the people that are going to be harmed when this ends up at everyone’s fingertips.
