SHUT UP WESLEY!

I mean, the empire was the true hero in Star Wars, so…

If you make payments over time (0% interest) they now require you to select a carrier. This means you get charged an activation fee for activating tje new device. It also means you can’t use that option if your carrier is not Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile.

Apple always does this before a big launch. Most likely they are applying site updates, major patches, etc.

Side note: thanks to Apple Card changes, this is the first phone I won’t be preordering.

Who you callin’ large?

This is not true. See above.

You should read AppleCare+ ToS before you make that claim. They will absolutely let you file a claim for accident damage (it is spelled out in the ToS).

I personally find the Apple One family plan to be an awesome deal. Music/Arcade/TV/Fitness/News. Out of all of these, news is pretty “meh”, though you do get access to popular magazines/newspapers. Everything else is great.

I am not an all Apple guy, since I am a PC gamer, but I use Apple products most of the time.

I love this bot.

I use Apple One family premier:

Having lots of iCloud storage is handy, and I use the other services.

Also, unless things have changed, Apple pays artists more than Spotify.

You probably still have to pay for the inserts. I have a Valve Index and VR wasn’t fun without them for me as a practically blind guy.
