That curved glass corner window probably cost more than your house. 

Interesting point!

I can't imagine where Apple would be today without its own retail stores, which just keep getting better over the years. What a contrast to Microsoft's feeble efforts in that kind of activity!!

I bought an iPad Pro 12.9" with Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard just before the M1 iPads came out. Though Apple would have given me over $500 on a trade in, COVID happened and there were other exigencies. . . oh well. But it's great that Adobe came out with mobile Photoshop and Illustrator, which are developing nicely! I enjoy dust spotting and repairing images on the iPad with the Pencil.

I thought Chromebooks were going to kill off the iPad.

Saw an ad from Walmart for a $89 Chromebook. They can't even give them away. Of course, they still use them in middle school (at least) in my town but I'm assuming they don't last more than one school year.

It's yet another MIS-education of the younger generation: always buy cheap and/or expect free shit. Never plan for the future—'cause we're all gonna die anyway!!

I bought two pair at the old price, so I don't care!
I like the Flex better than the predecessor X, which, I believe were $99. The Flex are made of more durable materials, and I like the buttons arrangement better. The magnets in the earpieces are stronger, and I like the way the music pauses when you click them together.

I don't care what anyone says, I bought the first iPhone, bought most of the successors over the years, but this iPhone 12 Pro Max is by far the best ever. I'm glad and grateful for Apple's success with this product line!!
