When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Dumping leather is a really good thing, at least.

Yea but, like a lot of these features, how often are most Americans going to be at risk for roadside issues (cars are more reliable than ever) in a place without cell signal?

Going to be pretty rare for the vast majority of iPhone buyers. This is a manufactured demand. But that doesn't mean folks won't snap it up.

Most Americans rarely go farther than ten minutes from work or home.

A lot of the geography of the country though still has bad or no cell service and it’s getting worse not better. This really isn’t the place for how fraudulent coverage maps are and honestly I am sure there are better people to talk about it. But it’s good some coverage is going to these places.

Oh, well that is an actual advantage of USB-C I guess.

Did the iPads already support that?

You can at least charge the pencil with the usbc iPad, not sure about the AirPods.
