Apple *is* working on an automotive project that was announced at WWDC! Soon you'll be able to unlock your new car with your iPhone or Apple Watch.

What did he spend 24k on? Smurf berries? That’s quite a lot of scratch. But yes it outlines how you’re being told you’re “buying” digital goods when in reality you’re licensing rights that are quite restrictive.
if you were buying books or CDs, you’d have shelves full of crap for your heirs to fight over (or haul off to landfill). With digital media, all that stuff just evaporates. It’s kinda funny they charge as much for it as a DVD or BluRay used to cost.

Contact lenses? It’s Apple, not Torchwood.

I will not side with Apple on this one. The store is curated, so everything on it carries their seal of approval. I don’t see how a game that allows charging so much in in-game purchases can not be considered for what it is: a complete scam. And Apple should set much stronger rules and caps on in-app spending for games. This is ridiculous.

Just wear your AirPods for a few minutes then put them back in the case and close the lid. Keep the case near the phone and don’t disturb it for 20 minutes or so. They remain connected while the firmware transfers. That’s all you need to do. You can check the firmware version in your iPhone’s About preferences.
