Do send a cite from a credible financial site/source that backs up this claim.

I found this cite from Experian, which explains why it dropped in my situation.

Here are a few reasons why your score might drop when you pay off a loan:

• It was your only installment account: Having a mix of revolving accounts (like credit cards) and installment accounts (such as loans) is generally good for your credit scores. If the loan you paid off was your only installment account, you might lose some points because you no longer have a mix of different types of open accounts.

Does anyone know how long after purchasing a new device you have to use the free trial? I got an iPhone 11 a few weeks ago, but I want to wait until there’s more content or even full seasons before activating. 

and does anyone know if you can stack up free trials? I’m keeping my eye on Black Friday deals for an iPad and I’m curious if I could use the free trial from the iPhone and iPad and basically get 2 years free

• Offer must be claimed in the Apple TV app within 3 months after first setting up your new device. 

• Only one offer per Family, regardless of number of devices purchased.

Disappointed by Apple in the last few years for minor tech improvement as “upgrades” each year but at total lost “replacement” costs, I’ll take a glimpse at this new Samsung device and consider to jump over to an Android machine.

You should. Android is an awesome OS, it’s highly efficient and all of the best apps and games are found on Android, with no malware to be found at all. Android is for the expert pro user and people who do very important things on their phones such as customizing icons and other tasks which are reserved for rocket scientists. I run into these sorts of Android users all of the time on public transportation. I envy their hardware and their vast intellect.

I too am considering this $2000 foldable Samsung phone. 

Modern Phones have become too thin and I miss the bulkiness of older phones like Nokias and others that were around a few decades ago.

This Samsung foldable phone is likely to be a huge success and I can see many Android users getting one, especially in the third world, which is one of their main markets.

On the board are the A12Z Bionic chip with 6GB of RAM, up from 4GB in the previous models.

Is that confirmed to be every new iPad Pro? I thought it was only the model with maximum storage.

That was the case with the previous model.

Supposedly, every model of this new iPad Pro has 6 GB RAM.

I am of course still not on Facebook and never have been.

I have had bad feelings and suspicions about their motives and practices ever since the beginning.

Screw those bastards.

What is wrong with that CEO by the way? Look at that haircut and that soulless expression. He looks like Data from TNG.

Apple is doing just fine without any outside oversight and certification by a bunch of environmental loonies and political extremists.

Any news content curated by leftists will indeed be fake news.

All of the major news outlets have been engaging in fake news for years now, pushing a hoax.

Apple also donates to questionable hate groups such as the SPLC. 

I like Apple products a whole lot, but I will definitely be passing on anything that's related to news and curated by Apple.

I don't think anyone on this thread is suggesting how Apple run THEIR app store. The suggestion is that it should not be the ONLY app store (or only way to legitimately load an app).

I do think that Apple should be the ONLY store.

I like that Apple is the gatekeeper for apps. I trust that my iOS devices are more secure than other platforms and I'd like to keep it that way.

Allowing other app stores would be a disaster, a massive breach of security and malware, viruses and illegal apps would greatly increase. It would make the entire platform less secure and worse for all users.

If somebody wants the wild, wild west of app stores, and the garbage that comes with that, then go use Android.

The only people that think racism is political issue are racists. 

And the people who go around accusing others of being racists are racists.

pff, I’m waiting for the magic key board PRO.

the best thing about this forum is listening to the fan boys defend apples insane pricing, or essentially anything apple no matter how egrigious. 

I defend everybody's pricing.

It's called capitalism and the free market and freedom. Companies are free to price their products at whatever price point they wish, and consumers are free to either purchase said products or not.

If Ferrari wants to release a new car tomorrow and price it at 6 million dollars, I don't have any problem with that at all.

If Samsung wants to release a new phone tomorrow and price it at $10,000 dollars, I'm totally fine with that.

The same applies to Apple. Apple can price their stuff at whatever price point they please and that they feel is appropriate and I am free to make a decision regarding if I want to purchase said product or not.

Some people sound like a bunch of commies and entitled ignoramuses.
