ruin the uh the the look of it but like the back of it with the single camera looks so nice but remember you also have the flash and the whatever thingies so apple's case has a lozenge shape opening because it encompasses the round camera and also the flash and other stuff that's to the side of it and that kind of ruins the cool look of the back of the phone but

Anyway, I'm not a small phone fan and I think it is well past time when phones with lightning connectors and home buttons, we should move on from them. I feel for people who like them, but like... You know, everyone has to deal with this. The products, the attributes of the product they like eventually change over time.

I just assumed they did. The whole thing with Apple TV Plus is like this is a streaming service for everybody. It's not just for Apple users. Surely there's an Android version, but I guess there wasn't until today. I mean, I guess it was just all, you know, it's built into smart TVs these days and most streaming.

I mean, it's easy to understand, but I think it's an interesting contrast with the other situations where there's like a battle of wills, a battle of market share between platform owners and products.
