Nick Clegg was the Deputy Prime Minister of the UK, elected on the back of him promising not to increase tuition fees for university students, and then voting FOR an increase once elected. He knows what double standards are as he’s an expert in them. Well placed working for Facebook or whatever they’re called these days. 

Terrible. 

These wireless chargers seem very inefficient. A 15W charge requires a 20W charger?
just plug it in instead. It’s quicker too.

My AirTag has disappeared. I’ve taken the battery out and as advised on the apple website disconnected and reconnected the battery multiple times until it reset (and made a different sound). It now however won’t reconnect. I’ve just ordered a new battery to see if it’s low on power. Disappointing it hasn’t lasted anywhere near one year.

In the keynote Apple said they have shipped 2 Billion chargers so far, so by not shipping a charger will reduce the carbon footprint - fair enough, most people have standard USB chargers at home anyway, but by shipping new phones only with a USB-C cable, those ubiquitous chargers aren’t USB-C so $$$$ for Apple selling a USB-C charger with a percentage of purchases (and there goes the so called carbon footprint 🤔).

Could it be that people are iPhone saturated and people aren’t dying to get one? Pure conjecture but this could be a consideration. 

For myself - I’ve stopped buying a new iPhone every single year now since iPhone 11 because they are just way more expensive than they were when I got the 3s, 4, 4s, 5, 5s etc. I have the iPhone 13 Pro Max 1TB right now which I got on launch day, and I sadly won’t be buying the equivalent iPhone 15 because of the expense. Also the 13 is going strong and the improvement from 13 to 15 isn’t worth the cost, especially as I need the 1TB storage space 
(it’s nearly full as I’m a heavy user of photo & video editing and live in an area of slow internet so offloading to iCloud is too slow hence the high onboard storage).

Another side issue is I use an app called Ravebox101 by Blippin Studios, which has been removed from the App Store. I have it on my phone but no way to transfer it to another device so I’m going to need to keep my current device as long as possible (and hope I don’t lose it).

Nice, but whatever happened to the tap to transmit contact information feature?

Was that ever a thing on iOS? 

I had an app called Bump on my first iPhone (3Gs), where you could tap your iPhone on another iPhone to send your contact information between devices.
