My first Apple phone was a 6 sometime in 2015. Then upgraded to an 11. Now have a 13.

All phones have always been in a case of some sort, but never the latest and greatest. The 6 had a screen protector, but soon found that to be a PIA and took it off.

Thankfully, I never had a broken or cracked screen. They'd been dropped a few times, but I guess landed right.

Not sure when my next upgrade will be, but I suspect in the next year or so. I assume the 13 will start to get wonky.

Not when they're using parts made by their competitors for their phones. This is as far as material science can go at this point unless Apple unless they buy Corning Glass.

Tim is not the visionary that Steve Jobs was, but he is the logistics genius that made "the trains run on time" and turned Apple into an efficient, profitable entity.

Jobs' mind made Apple and Apple products, but Tim Cook is the Yin to Jobs' Yang. Apple needed both of them to make it what it is today.

15 years is a massive amount of time to be a CEO of a mega-company and he is turning 66 this year. I am surprised he has stayed at the helm this long and kept the company doing so well. I think he is a good guy and I wish him the best.

So, before Patel's announcement of Southern Poverty Law Center's corruption, Cook slithers away.
