Pancake

I prefer this format. It’s clean and more information is actually packed in than before because of faster transitions and lack of hiccups that happen seemingly every live event.

Yaiks….pricy 

Same price as the last generation

Please do not chase after stollen stuff. Lock it, remote wipe it, call authorities but don’t chase it. You could get hurt.

Well that sucks. 

Such a classy way to do it. Made it so special many times. 

And it it was an actual environmental concern, folks will be using more resources now to wrap the products themselves. Apple used biodegradable materials. Walmart doesn’t. Accomplishes nothing other than removing a great thing. 

No they won’t. The gift wrapping was only on shipped items and it cost the consumer extra money. They are still having Apple ship the item and aren’t going to think about wrapping it. The Apple box is already wrapping enough.

That's weird. They're calculating it like an income tax rather than a sales tax?

Plus taxes on "Winnings" vs. in app purchases.

Because it’s greed. They see the massive industry and instead of adding a nominal fee of say 5-10%, which wouldn’t disrupt much of the purchases, they want to get it all at once.
