I am not from the US so might be wrong, but I think it works the same as in mine. It is because they tax income not wealth (which would be difficult I guess). Elon can probably live on $0 income very comfortably by his standard. More than 1% of income earners will be affected at some point as you age up, inheritance etc. Maybe not 30%

I have been monitoring Nebula for a while as almost half of my youtube subscriptions are one there.

I don’t see anything on the blog about life time subscriptions. Will that stay the same or fall away?

Nothing is really stopping me, I just think iPhones align better with me now.

I am going to give 3 examples of why I switched from Android to iPhone. 1 - I used Samsung Galaxy S every generation till the S5, flashing ROMs every second day and I got tired of it. One thing that particularly bothered me was when I got my officially branded Galaxy S car holder, Car charger and a lot of other accessories and they didn’t work with the SII.

2 - I use to jog quite a lot and used the arm strap with the cable and I thought I want a phone that prioritizes wireless audio. Apple was the first company that did that. I would have thought it would have been Sony with some of their previous phones.

3 - Samsung had many of the things I like in iPhone now already back in the Galaxy S and SII time. S Calendar, S notes, S diary, S transfer I think. That was dropped as a novelty after a few times. Once apple start with something they keep it, at least for a while.

I know phones are more mature now and Samsung probably doesn’t do this anymore (Or hopefully they don’t). But I already made the switch and I don’t feel any reason to switch back at the moment.

Why I like iPhone: 1 - It doesn’t change much over generations which helps with not having to buy new accessories the whole time. 2 - It doesn’t allow me to change much so I don’t bother changing much (I still do the dev betas etc, but they are not as time consuming as Roms) 3 - They don’t generally try to be first to the market 4 - Privacy is better than commercial Android (I know you can get Android builds that are better) 5 - I like(d) that the App Store is the only way you can get Apps 6 - I like the eco system (I know have homepods, apple tv, macbook, iPad, iPhone and watch) - I know Samsung has a good one, but too late. 7 - Homekit/Homekey and carplay/carkey - I literally can walk around without keys. (I know this isn’t unique, but again when I bought by car Apple was the only option)

I think I can do most my likes with Android as well. I just like the way Apple does it currently and they restrict some of my shortcomings.

As an impartial viewer, this was the best weekend of this 6N so far in my opinion.

Well done Italy and England.

I know I was holding out for USB C. I don’t know if this is the reason for it. Apple was also the only manufacturer in the top 3 to increase sales last year. Even with USB C, this still surprised me.

Sorry I assumed the whole GCC rail was called Etihad rail. Must be only in UAE.

But it looks like people will be able to get from the GCC rail to Riyadh. Hopefully the stations are close to one another.

Nice video. Do you know if there is any interconnecting linking to the Etihad rail from the metro. From the news sources here it is mentioned that connection to Saudi and Oman will be connected with the UAE, but I haven’t seen any more details.
