I was curious. I went out tonight and took the same photo, 10s exposure, 800 ISO.

Could have just as well been daylight:

 

I think Apple's best days are behind it.

I wonder how long it'll take them to ride down their cash...

I tend to agree. I've been an investor for decades and lately I've been looking to get out. That's mainly for personal reasons more than a commentary on the company's prospects, but there's definitely an element of doubt about their future. I may have waited a bit too long but we'll see. They always seem to do better over Christmas than the naysayers expect.

I'm not wild about current management. They can and will continue to create enormous cash machines, but I'm just not confident they drive share growth like the good old days. With Jobs gone, it feels more like it's "just" a business, not a mission. Tesla now has that good old feeling of a mission on a knife's edge. A much riskier investment but more fun.

... if only my own customers agreed with that too...

With government wielding the knife?

 

OtterBox is your friend...

 

I had the same thing happen with the s7 1 and haft foot drop and it was a goner lol

The government is still funding it because that is the only kind of business Musk wants to run (is able to run?).
Tesla
SpaceX
SolarCity

All have government funding that keep the doors open.

I wonder if VW and Apple share engineering staff?

Lets hope not, you wouldn't be able to meet the purchase price.

Are carriers still supporting 2G?

So 2G seems to be supported by KPN in holland.
How the support is for other providers I do not know.

And the only reason it's so big is because it must support a human interface.

And perhaps the size of the battery too?

 

AT&T discontinued 2G on Jan 1
