I do not hear that Apple iPhones or iPads get stolen much anymore or at all since we can use FindPhone to immediately find them. I sure don't worry, often leave it sitting out. And I travel all the time.

A big plus on these newer phones is the cameras. I used to do some professional photography--last film camera was Nikon F5, then last Nikon as a D100 I think--anyway, the iPhone 7+ takes better pictures than either of these ever did. The only thing I've lost is the ability (or need) to drag around dozens of pounds of expensive lenses. Betting the 8 and X have upped that photo quality and 4K video to next level. Worth it right there to move up to newest phones.

Yeah, sorry I think I sort of got carried away.

Apple makes good stuff. No question. A lot of people support them.

But I sure wish, they would bring production back to America. The thing is, that criticism also pertains to every other company. It is not fair to just criticize Apple for it. Everyone makes computers, and phones in China.

That “Made in China” thing however is important, and becoming ever more important, in my view.
