Apple made theirs the ONLY 15W output device, all third parties are at 10W. At home, I still use cable and wouldn’t care if it was 10 or 15. However, for the car, it’s definitely the 15W Apple version.

I would have agreed with this stance 6+ years ago but there’s so much garbage, malware, adware, etc. on the App Store that it’s not as regulated as they’d like to have you believe.

Even simple stuff like a pdf editor, phot editor or whatever. If it’s not a big name company, you’re taking a risk. Let’s not get into small and more niche apps.

Plus, Google kinda pushed Apple into this position but if this goes through, first thing everyone is doing is install YouTube Vanced to ditch the ads.

Overall I’m pretty whatever on it, it it happens, great. If it doesn’t, oh well.

The ONLY thing that would get me to be more in favour is if this allows for ublock to make an appearance as a fully fledged iOS app with all the bells and whistles I see on PC.

I mean. I just got email reminder here. $200 in Costco shop cards until November 27th. But I find the December offers to be better.

Idk if it’s location based.

I can’t comment on others but Costco here will have some really good deals for Cyber Monday / Black Friday.

Something dumb like $400 in Costco Gift Cards, they’ll usually give you another $150-250 in accessories.

Like this year as early Black Friday deal I took $300 in gift cards, $200 in accessories. I’m paying $20/month for 2 year for an iPhone 13 128GB black.

I turned around and sold the phone for $600. But I’m confident I could have easily gotten $700-800+.

In conclusion; I’ll pay $480 for the phone but I made out with $1100 in cash and accessories. I listed the accessories for $100 so at the end of the day I’ll have cleared $520 profit for 30min of effort.

I don’t actively seek these out but I shop at Costco a lot so I just check what they have from time to time.

That’s not to say other people aren’t scamming, they could be. I’d be more curious if there was a way to check if it was reported stolen or something

I just wanted a quick sell personally.
