I HOPE this makes the HomePod audio output selection "permanent" like I thought iOS 12.0 was supposed to do.

I've been using a 6s Plus. The most impressive aspect of my Xs Max so far is the quality of selfies taken by the front-facing camera. For the first time ever, I look better in selfies than in the mirror. There's obviously some "beauty filtering" going on because I know I don't look this good in real life. I'm not sure how I feel about that just yet.

I ordered my unlocked 256 GB gray Max about 0640 CDT on "pre-order" day. It's scheduled for delivery about 0930 CDT tomorrow.

I made Apple $1,249 richer this morning. I woke up at 0600 CDT as I do every day and managed to get an unlocked 256GB Space Gray Max for 9/21. Minutes later, they were delivering 9/28-10/5.

I guess I got "lucky" for once. I don't ever remember being able to get the phone I wanted on launch day for first delivery. By the time I wake up, deliveries are usually up to several weeks away so I just don't pre-order and tell myself that I'll buy when they're readily available in stores. By the time that happens, the newness and excitement has worn off and I usually skip that year's upgrade which is one reason I'm still on my 6S Plus.

I also plan to order a series 4 watch to replace my series 0 that was replaced out-of-warranty by Apple last year due to a swollen battery.

My MacBook Pro and iMac are four years old now and beginning to have problems. This is proving to be a very expensive year for me.

What's so wrong with...?

iPhone 9
iPhone 10s
iPhone 10s Plus

I long for the simpler days at Apple.
