Another day another patent troll. 

Yeah, I'm getting an "Update not fund" error too on my BRAND NEW IMAC.

Software update says I'm up to date.  I can see Big Sure in the Mac App Store but when I click
on get I just "get" an error.  

We actually have six wireless networks in the US. C-Spire and US Cellular both operate independent networks, though they don’t have coverage in every state.  The opposition claims we’ll be left with only 3 networks, which if true would still be enough to foster good competition, but there will actually be 5 instead of the current 6.  As a T Mobile customer I am looking forward to this merger as it will likely drastically improve already greatly expanding coverage.

Apple is so unbelievably tone-deaf to the needs of their customers. We want a Smart CASE, not a Smart COVER. The Smart Cover doesn't even protect the iPad, because it attaches with a weak MAGNET! And it doesn't protect the back of the iPad either! The Smart Cover, which Apple no longer makes, is actually a REAL GENUINE HONEST-TO-GOODNESS CASE. It protects both the front and back of the iPad, and it actually firmly snaps onto the iPad -- so your iPad is fully protected at all times. It is beyond ridiculous that Apple stopped making these, but continues to peddle the subpar Smart covers.

As somebody who used to work Apple retail, I assure you that the vast majority of customers only wanted the smart covers.  We rarely sold the full covers, and most of those who wanted that option opted to go 3rd party for something truly heavy duty.  So in general, they are listening to their customers.  

Furthermore Apple is really not a case and cover or accessory company.  They are a hardware and software technology company.  If 3rd party solutions are available it doesn't make sense for them to invest R&D designing cases and covers which have relatively low impact on the company's bottom line. 

I understand that for us Apple loyalist and pro-users we want Apple branded everything and exactly how we want it.  It may seem like the company is tone deaf, but in reality they're right on the mark for the larger consumer base. 

Everyone on here need to head on over to apple.com/feedback and give them a piece of your mind about the discontinuation of airport routers. Let them know that they are important to you as a customer and maintaining your business. I don't think any of us want to have to buy that ugly ass helicopter router and have it morph into a spider in the middle of the night and eat our families.
