This is 100% accurate for me.

My local credit union has a 0.416% interest savings account.

Apple is now offering something that is 10x better and took me 15 seconds to setup and transfer funds.

Thatâ(TM)s big.

I use Apple Card for everything I can, so far this past full year Iâ(TM)ve received just under $750. All of that previously went to paying off the balance. Now it will get deposited into savings and earn interest! Automatically!!

My iPhone does not turn off or prompt me to turn off with just the power button. I have to hit volume up and the power button to get the prompt.

I view this as a feature, not a bug.

The author of the article is just whining/crying about new tech.

I prefer the two key combo to trigger the power. It prevents accidental power cycles and also provides a way to lock the phone out of biometrics (forcing a password to unlock).

As a frequent traveler, this _feature_ is very helpful. Knowing if a cop/border guard in the US gets too power hungry, I just hold that power combo key and it locks and there is nothing they can legally do about it, is a big peace of mind feature.

Thank you for the insight.

So the miners have no recourse or way to prevent this? Even though they (the miners) prop up the system, the system (early adopters) has control over the the whole thing due to holding all the money.

This new scheme sounds like it only solidifies the early adopters control. Why would anyone want this? Besides the eco-bs argument?
