604: Minimized Embiggening

Although, I have to say, like I said before, having a product that gets attention every single year and gets improvements every single year gives you the luxury, like I used to be able to do with Honda Accords, to sit back and say, oh, here's the new X. Here's the new iPhone.

I'll wait until next year because there will be a next year, unlike, you know, the HomePod or the Mac Pro.

We'll be lucky if it's all rolled out by the end of the year. Right. Not by the end of 2024, but by the end of the iPhone year. Like next September, we should check and say, has everything that Apple talked about with Apple intelligence actually been released yet?

No. I ordered AirPods, as I said. I pre-ordered the AirPods. I was excited to do that, although their engraving feature was broken for like the first 10 minutes, frustrating me. But I pre-ordered my AirPods with noise canceling. And then for my phone, you know, I'm doing what I always do. I looked at the other stuff. I actually even considered the white one.

As we'll talk about in overtime, the case situation is dire.

604: Minimized Embiggening

We'll talk about it in overtime. But, you know, I did what I usually do because in the end I decided this is what I want. For reasons that I've stated before that probably aren't important to other people who are important to me, I get the black phone. And it's not because I like the color black so much. I think the white one looks nicer. It's because I actually use my phone to watch video a lot.

And I want the surround to be black. I don't want white distracting me from the display in any way. And maybe you don't care about that. But there's a reason televisions tend not to be white when you buy them. And I don't want my phone to be white either. I want it to be all black. And I have the bare bottom if I can. Again, it's the overtime.

And I don't want the bare bottom to be white sticking out of my case. So anyway, I'm getting the black 16 Pro non-Macs. I actually bumped the storage this year. I've been 256 for a long time. I do not fill 256, but just like a month or two ago, I did have to delete a bunch of stuff because I was pressing up against 256. I'm like, now it's time.

So not only did they get me on one storage upgrade bump of, you know, 128 to 256, they're getting me on two. I'm buying it with 512, which pains me. It hurts me. It hurts me. It hurts my wallet. But I think it's time for me to finally do that. So anyway, that's it. That's the phone I'm getting. I'm excited.

I don't think a few years old Ford Escape is really a good standard bearer for the current state of the technology.
