A picture of Steve Jobs pulling the original MacBook Air out of a Manila envelope in 2008, not the actual laptop
I forgot I have an original MacBook Air (ie the one Steve Jobs pulled out of a Manila envelope) in gorgeous condition with a brand-new battery, Front Row remote, and a fresh copy of OS X Snow Leopard coming in a few hours
And I FORGOT THE MANILA ENVELOPE
NEW VIDEO: The iPad Air 2 on iOS 8 has a laminated display, the fast A8X chip, more RAM, and thinner and lighter -- but it traded in features because it HAS to be thinner for no reason lol

I’ve finally updated to iOS 18
Product Red 8 Plus and Space Gray 8 next to said clear TPU cases
The cases all in inventory lol, all in their plastic baggies
I woke up today with two iPhones that I needed to find a soft-touch clear TPU case for, I thought about Taobao
And then I realized I literally bought like 30 cases of all shapes and sizes for the different iPhones I have
So I just grabbed them and they fit lmao
The iPad mini 2 was a rare instance where a non-flagship iPad gets all the flagship specs

People only remember the iPad Air for the hardware redesign, but iOS 7 is arguably the more important of the two redesigns

iPhone 7 and 7 Plus in Jet Black, side by side, with backs facing
iOS 10 Home Screen facing up, Same iPhone 7 and 7 Plus in Jet Black, Side by side
For iOS 10, I originally only wanted the 7 Plus be Jet Black, the smaller 7 can be Matte Black for all I care
Welp I ended up with both sizes in Jet Black, they REALLY do not wear well
You can force the “press home to open” text to appear earlier by resting your finger on the home button
There is much, much more to the iPhone 5s than just iOS 7

Screencap of a DetroitBORG video of the official Apple accessories for the iPhone 10.5-inch iPad Pro: Apple Pencil Case, Leather Sleeve, Smart Cover, Smart Keyboard
I was close to picking up an iPad Pro 10.5-inch on iOS 10
Then I realized there was never an official Smart Case covering the back made for the product - you have a Smart Cover or Keyboard, or a leather Sleeve, but no back cover
wtf
(thanks @DetroitBORG)
