Everyone has already thought of it and is just waiting on Apple to implement:

1. Adding MagSafe to the battery

2. Making a larger capacity battery

GROSS what a total downgrade and what a cheap relocation offer. Anyone who does that is going to suffer on so many levels. From the out-of-pocket expense of relocating to Texas (WHO EATS PICKLES AT THE MOVIES??) to the future loss of income for homeowners. Homes in CA especially in SD are going to appreciate in value more than TX. Then there's the general lack of progressive laws and thinking. Oh I forgot that you're also moving from a coastal area with the highest happiness quotient in the USA to inland the capital of a state that is anti-LGBTQ, anti-woman's rights, pro-gun, and pro-racist.

Instead of Apple doubling down on TX, they should be looking to eliminate their corporate presence there in protest over the backward laws of the state. Just goes to show greed motivates all. 

YAY they made it cheaper. BOO they made it dumber.

The only issue I've ever had with the card is that during the pandemic, the payment freeze wasn't longer. But then again, I'm surprised a payment freeze even happened. I pay this off monthly. I use it for nearly everything. The financing for apple products is pretty sweet even as I've moved onto Best Buy's upgrade+ service. It'd be neat if they integrated NFC into the titanium card itself. Or offered some kind of travel benefits, something to help compete with other cards. I wish they'd also calculate interest on a revolving balance differently. If you pay a day late (they base the due time on Eastern Time and not local time to the user) it screws you with interest for 2 billing cycles. 

Cher Scarlett nearly died yesterday. What you don't understand is that women get harassed 100X more than men when they stand up for anything. That harassment in the digital age might not ever cease and can go viral. Think mob mentality. This can include the kind of intimidation tactics that specifically harm women in our misogynist society. The ironic part is that women and other minorities are the ones fighting for equality and that benefits us all. Remember the bible story of David vs Goliath? This is that and your attitude and behavior are both unwarranted and ill informed coming from a very male perspective. Instead, try having a little empathy for those who have the balls to accomplish what men can't and won't. That's conviction. 

OH and I should add that I worked for Apple and saw firsthand the way people (including myself) were mistreated. As a cisgender hetero white male, I didn't have any protection from the managers in the white male good ol' boys club either. Difference is that my entire retail store didn't turn against me spurred on by corporate watchdogs who only care about the bottom line to ruin my reputation. Thank god for small favors in my case.

Don't like the conditions and your employer isn't breaking the law? Have conviction and quit. Walking off the job is a very different thing than a protest. By all means protest. Walk off the job? See you at the unemployment office.

Odds are good Cher Scarlett is behind much of this.
