Apple still includes a plastic logo sticker in every box, changes the phone dimensions which prevents you from reusing a protective plastic case that could easily last 5-7 years, and includes a charging cable that can’t be used until you buy something it can plug into. I think their green intentions contain a mixed message.

Does this mean that a USB-C dock that is capable of charging still deliver I/O and charging to the MacBook, or will both the USB-C cable and Magsafe charger need to be connected?

Love that Universal has umpteen different options

For businesses trying to acquire large quantities of phones from top-tier carriers, right now the shortage is real, particularly for the SE and 11. Today, Apple’s own direct to business ecommerce.apple.com portal shows a 5-6 week delay on the iPhone 11 128GB. 

I think it comes down to trust, specifically the lack there of. Right or wrong, people don’t trust one, some, or all of:
- Local, state, or federal health authorities
- Same levels of government
- Tech companies
- Science
- Each other

In some cases, lack of trust is for good reason. In other cases it unfortunately is by one’s own ignorance, fear, greed, or selfishness.

A pandemic appears to be a decent measure of humanity’s willingness to work together to solve our common threats, nation by nation.
