    Use to upgrade my phone annually but I am very content and happy with the iPhone 11 pro max along with my Apple Watch 45 mm series 7 watch.

  • Sealed, original iPhone is now worth more than a Tesla Model Y

    Wonder what my slightly used Apple IIe, with duo disk drive, green monitor and original VisiCalc disks with leather bound manual case all in original boxes are worth?

    What would you guys say if Apple chose to block off Bluetooth to third parties and make only Apple Bluetooth services available through it and only to its own devices?

    Swap out Bluetooth for NFC and you will begin to understand something isn't right. 

    Apple is herding banks into its own NFC pen and requiring a cut of transactions. 

    It makes no effort to inform its customers 'up front' about what is really happening in the process. 

    The vast majority of customers have no idea how Apple Pay works and the limitations involved. They see it as an Apple Wallet. 

    Now, if they were informed of the fact that maybe their own bank has a digital wallet but they can't use it on Apple Pay because Apple insists on getting its cut and thwarting competition, how many do you think would question Apple’s motives and choose their own bank's wallet over Apple’s? 

    After all, we're only talking about informing customers of what is going on here. 

    Don't customers have that right? 

    My wife asked me why BBVA Pay was available on my phone but not hers. The upshot is that she refuses to use Apple Pay. 

    Apple lets my wife authenticate her bank app transactions by using FaceID but Apple won't let her bank install its own wallet and use NFC. However, I believe it will let apps have access to iPhone NFC hardware for things like ticket validation on transport systems. 



    I don’t want t let other banking financial ecosystems into apples ecosystem.
