Before you get too excited about Apple's success, keep in mind that a lot of people have been forced to stay at home, received stimulus checks, and many opted out of paying their rent.  I'm sure there was some discretionary spending going on, with a lot of people being unjustifiably optimistic that everything would be back to normal soon.  Also, while they've released some new things, just *how much* have they sold?  These have all been mostly minor spec bumps, not exciting new products that they'd normally sell a ton of. Let's see if they still release the new iPhones on time and let's see how successful they are selling them if a lot of people are unemployed and the stimulus checks and bumped-up unemployment checks are no longer flowing.

I still believe that the economy is going to be hit very hard by this.  So far it's been artificially propped up by a lot of money printing.  I don't think that will go on forever.

Will these dimmers be the first devices that will control LED lights without a neutral wire? My older wiring in the house is missing a neutral wire in some main floor boxes and I haven't found a device that will work without a neutral wire

The Lutron Caseta dimmers (also HomeKit compatible) don't require a neutral wire.

Honest question: What makes these so much better than the now-common sub-$50 wireless earbuds that I'm seeing on Amazon?
