I like everything about this except I use my phone in my car and on my MC daily. I'd be forever removing the phone fro the sleeve to access maps and other notifications.

Unbelievable, happens to the best of them I suppose. Wouldn’t it have been cheaper and safer to just get a permit???

I'd say it is highly debatable wether these fools are anywhere near 'the best of them'. It would have been cheaper and safer unless there is something more to this story. The obvious thing would just to be not to carry at all. This need to carry deadly weapons around would be totally juvenile had it not been so incredibly dangerous.

I don't want to be tracked, or notified, or alerted to anything. And I want a limited amount of ads which my ad blockers manage quite well. One of my favourite Safari features is the Reader View which cuts all the visual crapola. I just got asked by Apple news if I wanted News tailored to 'me' sent to my inbox. Hell, no!  Maybe I am old school but when i want news or info I go and get it. The normalization of tracking is terrible. Nobody would accept it if it was a real person just walking inconspicuously behind us in the shadows. 

Mac OS and IOS will never merge.... and yet, they kinda already have. iOS / iPad OS / Mac OS now just seem like slightly different varieties tailored to each type of device.  I can't wait for mac's to get touch screens. Before  you laugh me out of the room remember that no iPhone or iPad would ever need another pointing device because we all have the best one at the end of our hands... right? And yet now the iPad has a trackpad, a pencil and a mouse (if you want), so by the same token why not a finger for the mac?

I’m pretty sure Apple shareholders won’t give a sh*t. 

I agree. And more importantly - the day Apple worries more about shareholders than product developer and user experience is the day the Apple brand begins to evaporate.
