Thanks Ernest. The fact that there haven't been any infections stemming from the Spectre bug kinda bumps the whole thing into moot-ness. And of course, a phone that is a few years old, well, it's time to upgrade anyway. The iPhone X sales have been through the roof, as evidenced by the sales-based bonuses paid to Apple execs within the past month, and the big earnings jump by Apple's two primary suppliers in Asia -- y'know, the ones rumored to have been told to cut production for the X by 40 percent?
