there is absolutely no way that short running video wasn't using a gimbal to carrying rig of some sort. you can't move a camera like that without one.

Yeah I couldn’t bend low enough like that to get that shot and also keep up with people.

Not gonna lie, I hated looking for a paper clip to pop open the sim tray, so this eSim sounds good.

I don't know how I feel about this eSim thing. I still have the same sim card that I've had for years, and always buy unlocked phones and just throw in my sim card so I don't have to deal with any bullshit from my carrier.

Apple Fitness+ being available to non-watch-havers is an odd choice, but I guess it's a good sign for them keeping the service going (which is cool, those folks all seem nice).

satellite sos is something most people will never need but this sounds like a better version of things which currently cost hundreds of dollars, so yet another gadget market is getting hosed by phones replacing them
