but if "Send Amber that article I read this morning about glow in the dark petunias" actually drops an article about glow in the dark petunias in your inbox, I'd say he (and others) would embrace that pretty quickly.

 If Apple can actually make it do that sort of thing reliably, I'd be on board. I think I'd be waaaay more on board 10 years from now, when the primary users of technology are at least somewhat more familiar with technology. It feels like the Xers and younger would handle this much better than the boomers will. I dunno. I can be pretty critical, but I'm also extremely happy when I'm proven wrong. It's just this whole ... thing [vague gesture at the internet] isn't terribly kind to a lot of people who haven't been trained to interface with it. Hell, the internet isn't kind to me, and I've been basically living on it since 1998.

(I should note: this isn't directed at anyone on the forums, it's more directed at the general caustic nature of the internet at large. I don't mind if people read my stuff and want to comment on it, obviously I would have picked a different career if that were the case.)

I did want to commend you, though, for somehow managing to pick something I am and have been wildly interested in since I heard about them several years back. I would absolutely love Firefly Petunias but I am not confident in my ability to keep them alive inside of my house, and at $40 a pop, they are a bit... pricey

Really, you complain about $100 for a device which you can literally manage your entire life with??? Maybe you should write for AndroidInsider instead

Oh, you. You're very silly if you think 

1. I manage my life in any aspect at all, regardless of whether or not I have a smartphone.
2. The point of my article was about the $100 price discrepancy  
3. I think Android phones are worth anymore than the rocks they make them out of

And here I am with a SE generation 1 ( that’s right SE Gen 1, and I’m in my 30s) that I love and was  waiting for the SE 4 to finally shift to. Now I don’t know what to do. 

I feel you. I know that it isn't true, but part of me feels like if I wouldn't have dropped my 5c on the sidewalk I'd still be trying to use it.

 It creates confusion as to which of the three to get. 

Apple, make a lineup of similarly named products incredibly confusing for the average person? Perish the thought.

The “e” clearly means “Entry” 

Ohhhh, I thought it stood for Apple Entelligence
