No, we don’t have Apple Cash here in the UK for some reason.
If I go to the App Store on either my iPhone or Mac and click on my profile pic, I can see I have a balance. Because I selected Apple Store credit when I traded in my Mac it just credited my Apple ID with money.
If possible I’d like to transfer it out of there, to buy software directly from the respective websites for Swish and Transmit.
Yeah I feel you, it’s a tad frustrating. But a first world problem I guess. I just thought it was an obvious continuity feature to have as part of the Apple ecosystem.
We can hope, right?
Yeah I use that feature all the time; if I’ve been out running or for a walk listening on my iPhone, I’ll often hold my phone next to my HomePod in the kitchen or bedroom and seamlessly carry on playback. And it works great. I just assumed it would be equally easy to implement it from Mac to iPhone.
That’s a shame. Seems like it’d be reasonably straightforward to implement on iOS 17 given the new stuff they’re doing with AirDrop.
I know Spotify has had this for a while and is probably one of the items highest on peoples’ wishlists. Maybe one day.
I managed to get mine for launch day, although the Apple Store didn’t come online at 13:00 UK as advertised; there was probably 4 - 5 mins delay.
I had configured my pre-order beforehand.
Pro models actually got a price decrease in the UK, unless I’m missing something.
Now I just need to decide whether to match my phone to my watch and get the natural titanium, or whether to go for the blue.
Oh, and, Pro (like usual) or Pro Max (seems a bit big!).
I didn’t know they stored local copies — had a very, VERY quick skim through their privacy policy on their website and couldn’t see any reference to that (sure it’s there but I didn’t see it).
I’m not a Spark user btw, was just following the conversation. I use plain ol’ Apple Mail.
I could be misinformed, but this isn’t just limited to Spark as I understand it, I believe a lot (maybe all?) third-party clients do the same thing. They act as an intermediary between you and the server so they can deliver push notifications.
However, as I understand it, Spark’s privacy policy outlines that they don’t read/scan the contents of your emails, and the use of app-specific passwords rather than your email password ensures they only have access to emails and nothing else.
Pretty sure others such as Canary, Airmail, Edison, etc. all do/did the same thing, but it was the lack of clarity in Spark’s privacy policy that made them the main target for scrutiny. I think they’ve since cleared that up.
I could be mistaken, though.
Yeah I have a self-hosted one but I’m struggling to get results. I posted under another comment on this thread, was just gonna ask for some support troubleshooting.
Completely agree though, self hosting over public instances all day long.
Do you use a self-hosted SearXNG, or one of the other hosted instances?
I see what you did there!
I replied to another comment on here saying that I’d tried this once before, via a Docker container, but just wasn’t getting any results back (kept getting timeouts from all the search engines).
I’ve just revisited it, and still get the timeouts. Reckon you’re able to help me troubleshoot it?

The above is a simple search for “best privacy focused search engines 2023”, followed by the same search again but using the ddg! bang in front of it.
I can post my docker-compose if it helps?
Would love to know this, and this did form part of my OP in terms of which search engines could be “hacked” into Safari.
No, I’m using local DNS in Pi-hole with a domain I own but nothing is externally accessible. And even if it were, I’ve got Authelia on all my containers (except, Vaultwarden because I can’t get it to work).
Yeah I’ve got Docker up and running with lots of containers, but wasn’t getting any results back from SearXNG for some reason, kept getting timeouts. I’ve got everything running behind Traefik so might just be a bit of a config issue.
I’m seeing a lot of love for Kagi as well. Not sure I’m quite ready to have to pay for search results, but I fully appreciate people that do. I have lots of subscriptions already and am trying to reduce them (i.e. self-hosting Vaultwarden as a replacement for 1Password).
What are your thoughts on Arc? I tried it a couple of months ago but couldn’t really get used to the layout, etc.
Sure it’s as good a browser as any, I just wasn’t feeling it.
Exactly! I saw the App Store version was ripped of a few features and subscription-based so was a no-no. Hence trying to get it from Panic.
When I traded in the MBA I had the option of bank transfer or Apple credit and I (foolishly) chose credit because, at the time, my wife was going to trade her iPad and get a new one, so figured the credit would come in handy. She then changed her mind. So at the moment it’s just paying my subscriptions (Apple One, etc.) I guess until it runs out or I buy something.
