hey remember that time apple had the courage to be the first ones to get rid of the floppy drive but we didn't have usb sticks or cloud drives or anything so for a few years every imac had a USB floppy drive attached?

I remember this the same way I remember everyone who bought a MacBook Air having a USB DVDROM permanently attached to it

We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

Everytime the rest of the world settles on a standard apple doubles down on whatever bad poo poo connecter they are planning on abandoning in the next few years leaving a trial of unless peripherals in its wake.

is the wide-angle camera on the plus just normal fov? I'm guessing the non-plus fov got a bit wider in fov (shorter focal length) too

also fake-bokeh has been awful everywhere else it's been tried and isn't even launching until at least the first iOS point update, so I wouldn't have high hopes for that

also also since the didn't mention it I'm guessing the camera sensor is still 1/3"

the iphone upgrade plan actually seems ok for paying like 30 bucks a month and you don't have to deal with craigslist/ebay idiots when you go to upgrade
