...are you tho? Calendar says no, not as quickly as possible at all.We had the same nonsense from Barclays, who didn’t support Apple Pay because they believed their customers would be satisfied with a sticker in the back of their phone.

Here are the best AirPods cases
This is why I’d like a cover. The magnetic latch seems slick at first but if you have a trade job or are in areas where you might come in contact with metal particles like grinding dust you have problems.
grinding dust sticks too the magnets and doesn’t let the lid shut properly. Then the dirt gets inside and it ruins the EarPods themselves.
This is as clean as I can keep mine. I’m actually a little embarrassed to use them when I’m not working as it looks like I found them in the bin.

iPhone replacement cycles slowing down to four years, pose threat to services, analyst say...

It’s always been a case of you couldn’t give me an Android for free but the thought of switching to Android has actually crossed my mind now.
My iPhone 6 is looking like a 5year upgrade cycle.
Figuring $1,100 for a new iPhone XS Max, that comes out to $18 a month or less over its life cycle.
My maths and understanding of total cost of ownership are fine. My late 2008 MacBook Pro (which still runs OK) has cost me $34 a month for the last 122 months.
My point is that 4+year upgrade cycles are far from uncommon now.
People can justify Apple pricing/cost of ownership any way they like. That’s everyone’s personal choice and decision to make.
I see the value in an iPhone but my relationships with Apple as a customer has changed from “shut up and take my money”
to more of a resentful tenant to their landlord who keeps jacking the price excessively.
I don’t want to leave this part of town and most likely won’t but I’m considering my options. If Apple hasn’t put the brakes on with the price rises by iPhone 11, I’ll probably join the used market.
