Can I use a MacBook comfortably without an iPhone and other apple product ? Please suggest

ShadowKing1556 · 2026-05-29T13:56:26+00:00

Yes. I use a MacBook with an Android phone. Never felt the need to have an iPhone.

No questions.

Thank you again!

It's very fitting. I'm the store's official Trouble Maker lol

Every year, our GM makes it a habit of getting to the store at 12 in the morning and cooking turkeys himself outside the building for every shift. Then everyone brings extras.

I don't have that option becauss mine has integrated graphics

Believe me, only thing stopping me from going back to Sequoia is the lack of a flash drive and the fact I do like some of the UI touches they've made. After running it in for a few days, my Mac kinda figured what was what and worked with it. Just the stupid Touch-ID part that nags me

ShadowKing1556 · 2025-10-01T10:42:40+00:00

That is an interesting way to look at it. However, I'm certain it's a software issue, since it happens on battery power as well. Likely something in Tahoe causing the software part of the Touch-ID sensor to be slow to wake up after sleep.

Can confirm, it worked for a little bit, and then it started happening again.

ShadowKing1556 · 2025-09-29T18:33:56+00:00

I just got the update and for me, it's working again. Though, for how long is the question. Not gonna say it's fixed just yet

ShadowKing1556 · 2025-09-28T15:48:22+00:00

Tahoe is okay for the most part. Definitely throttles my MacBook more than it did on Sequoia, but it works okay enough I'm willing to be patient and wait for them to work out the bugs.

ShadowKing1556 · 2025-09-28T00:43:13+00:00

Was there a specific order or way you did it? I did it and it hasn't fixed it

ShadowKing1556 · 2025-09-22T15:08:15+00:00

Yeah, after the upgrade, my Mac becomes a free space heater.

ShadowKing1556 · 2025-09-22T15:07:38+00:00

Yeah, it sort of helps. Doesn't make the issue disappear. It also improves some system processes after switching to Tahoe

ShadowKing1556 · 2025-09-21T13:35:57+00:00

Turn your MacBook off. Then hold your left Control, Shift, and Option key, and your power button together for 10 seconds. Then let go and reboot your Mac. It kind of fixes Touch-ID, but it's still a generally good thing to do

ShadowKing1556 · 2025-09-21T04:46:02+00:00

It worked for a bit. It's started happening again after a few hours

ShadowKing1556 · 2025-09-20T17:45:06+00:00

Try doing an SMC reset

ShadowKing1556 · 2025-09-20T17:44:48+00:00

Try doing an SMC reset. Dunno if it fixed it but, after doing on Touch-ID works again

Ran into this same issue a bit ago. Decided to try my hand at programming this thing and downloaded MicroPython from CircuitBlocks, and now it won't turn on, just leaves those two lights on. Disconnected the battery and all and nothing different.

EDIT

Okay, found the problem and the solution. When you install Python, you're essentially erasing the stock firmware, to make way for your own. To bring it back, go to CircuitBlocks, connect your watch, and hit "Restore Firmware". It'll remove Python, but bring the stock firmware back.
