I used to do Gazelle, the Apple Upgrade program is simpler with no “lost” devices  or condition hassles. Costs about the same as I recall. 

An additional bit of detail from a 9to5Mac article:

” Driver’s licenses and state IDs in Wallet are only presented digitally through encrypted communication directly between the device and the identity reader, so users do not need to unlock, show, or hand over their device. ”

That's a bummer, as that would be a 'killer' feature (or better a life-saving one). A lot of places we've lived here in Canada can easily become no cell signal within a 20 minute drive. I'd think it would be hard to put in a phone, though. Wouldn't you need some special equipment and quite a bit of power?

The Garmin InReach series aren’t very large, and the power for a simple emergency beacon function would likely be available.

An external antenna is not problem . They can just plug it into the headphone jack...oh right.
LOL

The Lightning port has better data capability and is still right there if needed. My Garmin 66i doesn’t have a headphone jack. 

There’s a glitch with Novavax. “Novavax delays Covid vaccine emergency authorization submission to FDA until fourth quarter” https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/05/novavax-covid-vaccine-fda-emergency-use-submission-delayed-to-q4.html While the currently FDA authorized vaccines are free, safe and work. Adjuvants can cause issues: they’re usually prohibited with lab animals, so I wonder? “ NVX-CoV2373 is a subunit vaccine made from a stabilized form of the coronavirus spike protein using the company’s recombinant protein nanoparticle technology. The purified protein antigens in the vaccine cannot replicate or cause COVID-19. The vaccine also contains a proprietary adjuvant, MatrixM™. Adjuvants are additives that enhance desired immune system responses to vaccine. NVX-CoV2373 is administered by injection in liquid form and can be stored, handled and distributed at above-freezing temperatures (35° to 46°F.) A single vaccine dose contains 5 micrograms (mcg) of protein and 50 mcg of adjuvant. The vaccine is administered as two intramuscular injections 21 days apart. The technology used for this vaccine was developed under a long-standing contract with the Department of Defense. ” https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/us-clinical-trial-results-show-novavax-vaccine-safe-prevents-covid-19 Otherwise delivering the spike protein to the patients immune system. Much like the mRNA tech does.
