My internet bill went from 150 dollars a month to  80 dollars a month with AT&T Fiber.   Granted we stream 4k video so we needed to pay an additional amount to Cox for unlimited the reality is every month on AT&T we are saving significant money.    If I was so worried about the occasional service problems I'd guy a dual WAN capable router.   I may just do that depending on when AT&T brings Internet Air to my region.

It's time to retire.   Go out on top Make the Vision Pro your swan song. 

Those of us old enough to remember the day when most cell phones only folded.    In retrospect what made those phones special was the all week battery life,  light weight and pocketability.  The downside was of course the miniscule screen

I'm not sure today's phone becomes magical because it folds.  It's still going to have the same battery life issues,   it's still going to be the same weight.    The next major phone revision will harken back to yesteryear with a really small phone that has a very small scree because most of our interaction with the phone will be voice enabled.   It will give many mobile users want. The Halcyonic days of getting your first V Series Motorola and how it disappeared in your pocket.  

It would be wise of Apple to skate to where the puck is going and not expend engineering effort on a stop gap solution. 

It's about time.  My Google Homes need to be replaced. 

How does that benefit users.  

The App Store has gotten so bad it's become a place to visit find what you need and leave as quickly as possible.   Finding new stuff is a horrible experience that yields little fruit.   The advertising started out as a small nuisance and that has expanded to a half screen sized block showing what you did "not" search for. 

Apple is certainly managing things better than most Fortune 100 companies but quite honestly from a User Experience context most of these companies are failing.   I never thought in a million years Microsoft would screw Office up to the point where it's cringe to use but we are here. 

I hope the young kids getting into Computer Science realize the black hole that a lot of these companies chasing Wall Street valuations have fallen into an aspire to return to the roots of what propels most human advancement and that's doing things motivated by the greater good.
