Mine only gets charged on the dock overnight. I’ve never needed to charge it during the day so it doesn’t get used while charging.

I’m genuinely surprised Apple didn’t opt for the portless option. With wireless charging, wireless iCloud backup and wireless connections to macOS you don’t actually need a port on the phone.

I’ve had a 12 Pro Max for almost 3 years and I’ve have never plugged anything into it.

It is theft when they refuse to give the phone back to me and try and keep it until the end of the week.

Yeah we tried that. It went so well she now takes her own phone.

At least in the UK, enforce it how.

The only way a school can enforce it is by committing theft.

My oldest daughter is disabled so my youngest daughter must have her phone so she can be told about changes to pick up if something unexpected happens which it often does. The school isn’t within walking distance of home so she needs to know what’s happening.

As soon as you threaten to call the police for theft they cave.
