Really hoping there’s an easy fix for this, because it’s making using my phone a pain. Relevant info:
- I never actually set up a fingerprint, and have only used passwords.
- phone memory is almost full (I have too many photos I still haven’t offloaded, I don’t use iCloud)
- I did drop the phone earlier today, but there was no visible external damage
- case does not cover the home button
- I’ve tried force restart, it didn’t work

Is Apple Music on Android good?

So before the question let me add some context: I'm planning to move from iOS to Android, mostly because how difficult is to backup photos from iPhone into my computer. I don't want my photos on iCloud so I make my backups copying all the photos and videos into my computer, I currently use Fedora Linux and keep my photo library on digiKam which I think is better than the Apple Photos app for Desktop. It certainly was easier when I used my Macbook for that, but being a Macbook from 2015 the battery is almost dead and I no longer use it.
Recently I saw reviews for Android phones from last year and fell in love with the Asus Zenfone 10, I love small phones and that one looks amazing, but I'm still tied to the Apple ecosystem, and the service that I would miss the most from them is Apple Music. So that is actually the only reason that I'm still using an iPhone, (that and the camera which was pretty amazing back when my iPhone13 was released).
So I'll have several options:
- Keep using iOS and suck it up, maybe even giving up and doing my backups to iCloud (it's 10 years worth of photos and videos).
- Move to android and use Spotify like everyone else. (I really don't want to go back to Spotify so that's the last thing I want to do).
- Use Apple Music for Android. Which I really don't know how good or bad it is. I'm even surprised that there's a version for Android.
- Just have an mp3 library like in the good old days. This is a viable solution since I listen to music almost exclusively by albums and it's easier to download music album by album than song by song. But that also means I'll need to be caring around my music library and making backups of it.
So the question is: have anyone here used Apple Music on Android? Is it good?.

Long story short--I don't want to connect my mac to my iCloud account, but every time I login to my laptop, I get three popups in a row that say "This Mac Can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with [my email] ...".
I can't find a setting that allows me to disable this, and online searches have been fruitless.

My wife has an ipad pro, and we have a baby monitor. So I was watching the baby monitor and noticed that her ipad was also in view of the camera. What I also noticed is that her ipad seems to flash an infrared light every minute or so.
After some googling I think this is the lidar scanner, although I'm not 100% sure.
Anyway, does anyone know why her ipad is doing this? It feels pretty creepy that a device is scanning your house all the time. Normally you don't even notice, it's only when you view the iPad pro from a camera that also shows infrared.
Maybe I'm just a little paranoid, but it feels like a privacy violation.
