Hey Gomos!

Thanks for reading my comments and I just finished episode 810 and realized that you answered my questions regarding the iPhone X, new phone debate! Thank you.

While I WANT a new iphone, I think I will end up waiting for the next cycle since it’s now Mid-January. In the mean time I will definitely be going to Apple to get my battery replaced even though I haven’t had any issues with it, ever. Yes, it does seem a bit slower now on iOS 11 (which I still haven’t any issues with on my device), but honestly it’s not messing with my daily usage.

I completely agree with you guys when it comes to always performing the software updates… I will say, however, that because we now having a divergence in the iOS, I wish that if the update resolves an issue that is native to a specific instance (ie something just for iPhone X), that the update would only be pushed to those user and was not required for other instance users.

Interesting predictions on this years line up 🙂 We will see…
Here are my predictions:
For the phone line up, in inclined to say there will be a new SE called the 8s, 8s Plus, Xs, and Xs Plus.
For iPads… I totally agree, iPad Mini is dead. There will be a single standard iPad and then both the Pro’s are going to Face ID.
For Apple Watch… I think the form factor will stay the same and if they may changes to the display to make it thinner, then I believe they will use that real estate to up the battery.
I believe that AirPods will get a revamp and WILL come with the wireless charging case but there will be a price bump.
For the Mac platforms, I honestly don’t have any predictions because I barely use my now 7 year old Mac Mini… I would like to see something along it’s form factor get an update or announcement. I love the iMac Pro and wish I could afford one just because… Before that I loved the form factor of the Mac Pro but it’s neither here or there anyway…

Great cast once again guys and stay safe on your travels, Peter!

Love you guys!
