No amount of 3rd party data is ever going to match Google unless someone starts and PoI database to rival it. Google can crawl the web for a first-pass and then get updates, something no one else is doing (Bing?).

Does anyone else get the feeling that Apple is going to continue removing features from their products in a nihilistic ritual to see how far they can go before people abandon them completely? Because that's what it looks like. But hey, their margin will keep going up, so you know, FTW!

For god sakes update Siri. The one thing I find most useful is “Add Mayo to the shopping list.” Half of the time she says: “Okay, I’ve added mayo to the shopping list.” Cool. 

Out of curiosity, is there an easy way to share these lists "live"? It's not much use to make a list if it ends up on my phone and not the wife's.

> As the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus share many of the same features as the iPhone X, what made it so special? There are three reasons for this.

No, there's four.

The iPhone X has a screen with as much real estate as a Plus, in a box only slightly larger than the non-Plus.

For me, this is worth every extra penny. I have a phone that continues to fit in my pocket, while offering a reading area that makes a real difference. I can, once again, use my phone as a reasonable reading device in spite of my aging eyes.
