And the thing is, it's a security convenience thing because we're using it within our family, and we're not stalking each other, but we are constantly running into annoyances that are caused by the stalker mitigation.

So anything like this...

trying to deal with the worst possible actors makes everybody's life more difficult because now you get like an unknown air tag moving with you and blah blah blah it's like no it's just me it's just you know you don't know why that stuff is there but once again the bad actors in the world make things worse for everybody

They spun it as a positive marker.

You know why we didn't change it?

The environment.

That's why.

It's not because we don't care.

I would say the magnets inside the iPad are part of the naked robotic core thing because the idea is we don't put anything on it, but we provide places for you to put stuff on it.

The magnets don't stick out and they're in space that is otherwise unused inside it, so it's fine.

And by the way, I feel like they could have, if they really wanted to, probably at additional cost of the product, put a hole in these suckers while still maintaining compatibility with all existing accessories.

Because all people want is just a little hole that you can put a little ring through.

You know what I mean?

I know it's difficult because it would be really thin.

They have it in the AirPods case.

Yeah, you know, there's the coin batteries in there.

It's really close to the edge.

You need some like very strong, like metal ring thing around it.

So that little piece doesn't break there and blah, blah, blah.

But anyway, they chose not to do it.
