I know one person in the UAE and texted him asking about this.   He said it’s only in the expo area and doesn’t work outside.  Not sure how that works, but that’s what he said. 

Now that the dust has settled, I'm pretty OK with the release.  I think the naming should have been 12s, but beyond that it's basically in line with what we expected.  5nm++ was the node, which we knew would bring refinements, but not much new performance. Sure enough, we got better battery life but not much extra oomph.  The other stuff (better cameras, Pro-motion display) was in line with expectations.  Basically everything leaked, and we got what we got.

Should be called the 12s though.

With the exception of the MCU stuff, everything else on Disney I've either already seen (50%) or just don't care about (the other 50%).  When you don't have kids, the appeal of the service is greatly diminished.

Speaking of Hanks, I wonder what ever happened to his WWII miniseries Apple bought the rights too? 

It's in production now.  I've seen a bunch of articles about actors joining the cast, so if it's not already filming, it's got to be close.

For a guy who doesn't like streaming service exclusives, Hanks sure makes a lot of movies that only get released on streaming services.

I remember he wasn't happy the Greyhound wound up on AppleTV+ (really, just unhappy it was on any streaming service) since he thought it deserved a big screen release.    And here we are again.
