 Once again Apple teases with a low price for a crippled SSD of 256GB.  Apple is such a fraud when it comes to their environmentally preaching since they install small SSD that makes their device obsolete too soon and thus enters the landfill.  How is that good for the environment?  

Oh no! Don’t say this outloud, you’ll tempt them to bring back 128GB!

My usb-c port is usually filled with pocket lint and bubblegum as a security precaution. Isn’t everybody’s? 

I think there’s no way this kind of post doesn’t drift off topic like this, but the story seems like this is an interesting approach by Tim Cook, who recognizes the pressure to participate in this action competitively, but also recognizes the tension with corporate governance, and appears to be trying to insulate Apple from inappropriate corporate governance, but also recognize his personal role in having the connections in relationships to look out for Apple’s best interest. Now, of course there are many underlying currents, tributaries, rapids, and waterfalls, but I think the real story is whether this demonstrates character of corporate leadership and whether this is the right way to go about an exercise like this. Personally I am unbuckled at what’s being brought in here for inauguration sponsorship and envious that I can’t get this type of corporate sponsorship for our low income community Non-profit work. But once again a tangent. 

Agreed with CarPlay - similar random issues with a high end new alpine deck. 

That was a great review - thanks. Not necessarily the most Apple alignment, but as product reviews go great job.
