Now I completely understand why England left the EU. 

This would be a shame. I have my Express connected to a Marantz receiver via the optical out. Makes for a very enjoyable listening experience.

That 30% does quite a bit for the developer. They need not maintain their own storefront, They need not attract potential buyers to their own storefront, they need not develop a money collection mechanism that operates around the globe, they need not develop their own customer feedback mechanism, they also get the benefit of having their product reviewed for potential security issues. Not bad for 30% since it comes with over a billion potential customers.

I think the walled garden is a benefit.

I tried 3 times to upgrade but I kept getting a message that my wife would be locked out of the home. All devices were at the right release level. Turns out my wife’s phone had a MyHome registered in addition to our named home. Once I deleted that from her phone all went well. IMHO Apple back to work full time in their buildings can’t come fast enough. Testing and documentation have really fallen. 

Love the X. When I try to use my wifes 6S or my iPad pro I have to think again about how to use a home button. Buttonless is by far a better user experience.

I do my very best to avoid everything Google. Just don't trust those folks.

Just wish there were an XR mini. Size of XS or smaller.

Apple users will very likely remain and grow their apple purchases. The ecosystem and the reliability / security continue to draw converts. Phones simply last longer than they used to. We used to crave for a new phone every year or two due to changes from 2G-3G-4G, extended battery life, and larger screens. We need not chase the technology anymore. Now a 1000 hand set is really a 4 year investment. Or about 20 bucks a month.

If I didn’t have to get out of the car to open the gas cap, select fuel type, and insert the filler hose in the tank inlet this feature to pay from inside the car might be helpful.
