It's certainly long overdue. This should solve a lot of problems!

Very long overdue @davethorp

How or why Apple took so long is beyond me.

Their was a workaround put together a while ago, but at least now theirs a direct route.

Sometimes people do want to move away from using an iPhone 😉

That is great because you have to currently phone through to Apple support which is I think American call centres I mean it is helpful don't get me wrong but the wait times etc can be annoying

Absolutely correct @Anonymous I agree

In all honestly they do have one of the best customer service though. You can request calls at specific times and they stick to that. They also stay with you till everything is resolved and they are so friendly and know how to laugh (that's the main thing) they take their jobs very seriously unlike well some companies I can think of

He he! Wonder who you're thinking of!

A lot of companies can take a lesson on their customer service

They do and invest heavily in good customer service and support. 

One does pay a premium for their products after all. 

Ive been on chat conversation with Apple before and they , with my permission, took control over my MBA to navigate me to the info I was seeking. 😄
