Can’t Trump require every federal employee to use his phone? Seems like he will make up something about how safe it is (like really?) and impose some such requirement. A conflict of interest? No…. Of course not. Seems to me he’s creating a product then manufacturing a market. Let’s see… civilian employees alone are estimated at 3 million. At $47 a month each, his company will now gross roughly $150,000,000 a month not including the phone sales. Just insane and disgusting. 

^^^^^ What he (or she) said!

Just another story supporting why I only buy Apple products directly from Apple. Even Amazon is dicey.

I agree. I do buy from Best Buy too but I’m always a bit wary. I recently bought an Airpod Max from Amazon and I was really worried it wouldn’t be legit. Thankfully it is. But at this rate, 3rd party sellers are becoming easier and easier to fool.

Is the benefit of the OLED screen worth what may be a significant price hike? Wondering what people's thoughts are.

Tech specs are a bit redundant if all you’re getting for the money is a iphone that’s hobbled and too big for a pocket. Always thought the conversation around iPads should be about OS functionality.  Compared with even an out of date basic MacBook Air (so long as it has an SSD), any latest and greatest iPad Pro is still an overpriced toy. 

While I don’t necessarily agree with “overpriced toy” I do wish it had MacOS functionality. I assume they don’t want to cannibalize their MacBooks. It’s unfortunate because I don’t think it would. I don’t think the MS Surface has taken away from those that prefer the surface laptop. But I could be wrong. I’d absolutely love to see more Mac-like functionality in the iPadOS.
