A new iMac with an even larger screen would be very nice here. Bring it on!

Yep, same here, a - c.

Even worse is that my isp is in the habit of first increasing advertised download speed and saying that “Look, you are getting more speed for the same price” and a few months later increasing the price. To add insult to injury, I never get the speed increase and am stuck at 110 MBPS even though they advertise as being 200 MBPS. When I ask them what the problem is, I get the response that the speed isn’t guaranteed. My response is how about half the speed for half the price. That never goes over well.

Yep, classic COMCRAP! You must live close to me.

Setup was eazy peezy in a few seconds.

Yes, it certainly is... for people with reading comprehension and some glimmer of intelligence. Take a walk over to the ADF (Apple Discussion Forums) and visit the Apple Card forum. There you will find complete chaos, unfathomable ignorance, inability to follow instructions, claims that it is a scam by Apple to make people get Apple Cards, ranting, raving about what a disaster the rollout is. Claims of being on the phone with Apple Support who hang up on you, are clueless bumpkins.

Face it, the U.S. is populated by entitled idiots who can’t read, want everything done for them. There is no hope.

Set this up and transferred some parked $$$ in all of 2 minutes. Nice, easy implementation.

I understand the “apple tax” and live with it.
I just swapped out my iPP gen 2 for a gen 6. Most of the opinions offered up on the gen 6 are that it’s not a significant upgrade. I beg to differ, but then I moved up from the 2 to the 6. Big difference!
Trade-in was $175. However, the look on the face of a young, budding artist who was unaware of what I had planned all along made it well worth it when I handed her my older iPad and all of the accessories for it, all charged up, ready to go. She could never afford such a setup, yet!
Thanks to these pricing considerations Apple is making right now about the components going into the next gen products that are about to be released in the next 18-24 months just underscores the reasoning behind the “Apple tax”.
These products are VERY robust with usefulness that exceeds the copycats that have popped up in the marketplace.
Who remembers the Shuffle? I won one of those decades ago and the thing still works just as well today as it did new. We’ve ALL got older Apple products just sitting around in a drawer or on a shelf that will still fire up and run. Yeah, much slower with less functionality, but they’ll still do what they were designed to do.
Less so with most of the competition, and, of course, YMMV.
