Flash memory usually lasts 100000+ rewrite cycles. Assuming hard reset doesn't completely overwrite everything and just resets the user data, you'll have to make a lot more (1 mln+?) hard resets to cause any harm to the phone. So, nothing to worry about imo. :)

Hi everyone! Please check out my app a unit converter for iPhone and iPad. There are tons of unit converters in AppStore already, but I'm trying to maintain a very high quality of the app. Each conversion is carefully hand-checked. The interface allows overviewing multiple conversions at once...

AFAIK, factory reset won't affect another phone. It just resets the device to initial state. Make sure that all the data was backed up and successfully transferred to another phone before the reset.

It shouldn't. It just wipes all the user data from the phone.

I believe the data is protected with the private key which is encrypted with the pin code (passcode). The pin itself is not stored anywhere, so it has to be entered at least once. So it's unlikely that they'll remove it in the future.

Probably a retina MacBook Pro 15" or 13", they have IPS screens. Airs are TNs. New MacBooks also have IPS screens but they're only 12" size and have weaker CPUs. Having a lot of ram (8 gb or more) would also be good.

On a Mac OS X Yosemite and later choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click iCloud. Click Options next to Keychain. Click Change Security Code and enter a new iCloud Security Code. On other devices using iOS8+: Choose Settings > iCloud > Keychain > Advanced. Tap Change Security Code.

Did you try Photos 1.1 from El Cap? I didn't upgrade yet, but it seems that it supports sorting: Photos has been fine-tuned to make it even easier to manage your library. Now you can add a location to a single image or to an entire Moment. Naming your favorite people in Faces is faster with a...

Btw, with the new Developer Program paying $99 is no longer required to test on devices.

You can find which iPad you've got by reading the model number on the back (something like A1474) and by searching Apple support website for that number to find the model name (or simply googling for that number).

If you choose to go with two different versions and using cocos2d framework, there's cocos2d port for Android now. You still have to rewrite everything from Objective C to C++ for Android but the code will look similar.
