this thread will do...

MIss 12 has dropped her iPhone, and when she clicks on the screen to unlock it, the pressure from the break enters random numbers and she keeps getting locked out.

She wants to get her pics from it to transfer back to her old phone, any thoughts on how to do this if I cant unlock it to gain access on the Laptop?

She doesn’t have an appleID? Photos in iCloud?
Other than that you’ll need to fork out for a screen replacement

Just thought of something that might be worth a try depending on how cracked the screen is.
Power off then stick a suction cup on the screen. Power up and lift the cup to take pressure off.
Might be worth a crack.
The other option is to tell her tough shit, you should have been more careful.

@crucial turns out she does, my account, yay for dad telling her to do that, and her listening!!

but yeah the tough shit line was trotted out, then the tears, so had to back down on that...

@Tim Yep, I'll have one of them I imagine. Mrs JC has one of the 13" Pro machines with the ARM silicon and it compares well to my i9 MBP, so I'm looking forward to how the new ones perform.

That new Apple M1 Max chipset has almost as much memory bandwidth as an Nvidia RTX 3070!

@Tim I’m keen to see how it compares to my i9 intel MBP.

I'm loving the tech that extracts text from photos. Being able to call a number on the photo of a business card is great.

Hooroo

assumes it similar tech to the google translate app? have to say being able to hold the camera up to street signs and have it translated was a game changer

JC

@kiwiwomble No doubt. Tech has come a long way from the ropey old OCR we had to cope with back in the dark ages of 2019.

That Google translate via the camera is a godsend when travelling. Ropey translation but at least you can get the gist of the words. Menus, accomodation notices etc... brilliant.
I assume that it wouldn't take too much to then isolate the phone number and make it useful. Great idea.

Could they not just take a photo?
