It’s a side note, but I am sick of Apple. $1200 for a device? And all the dang accessories. Can’t even listen to music on them anymore without either sending radiation waves into your ear cavity or buying a dongle. I am sticking with my phone from 4 models ago simply because it works fine and has a headphone jack. Whatever they call an improvement/upgrade either seems like a setback to me, or is something I would never notice. So I will keep fixing or replacing this model phone with used versions or putting a new screen on it when it cracks (done that twice already).

Of course I tried Android but iOS works better with my car. I wish all cars had universally adopted a more open system but at this moment it’s cheaper (cheapest) to keep my old phone than to switch cars to switch to Android. And it’s not like a duopoly between google & apple is any better than a monopoly. DOJ went after Microsoft for essentially the same behavior that these two companies engage in. We desperately need to be rid of the tech cartel.
