Know Your Mobile (?) has Here's The Biggest Problem With The iPhone XS and XR. The answer is "fast charging". This is something that I was blissfully unaware of, and probably not very interested in. I suspect that others who depend on their phone more than I do and spend less time at home than I do would be the primary market. I'd be interested to hear from any AFBers who have experience with this feature.

I'd be interested to hear from any AFBers who have experience with this feature. My $0.02. If the iPhone supports fast charging then fine. Why should I pay extra by default for a charging block that fast charges my phone when I don't need it? I'm fine with the default charging block for my overnight charges. I neither want nor need a fast charging block. So Apple isn't ripping off consumers by not including it. They are saving the masses the additional charge for something only a few people may need and can purchase if they need it. And if you need this, perhaps you should reprioritize your life a bit and stop burying your face in your phone 24/7. My phone hasn't dropped below 50% battery in a day since I don't know when. Maybe I'm just a loser.

Well after further study over the weekend, I may not end up buying puts but rather aapl calls. There is a good chance we could hit 181 this week and 189 in two weeks. The market made a major reversal on Friday.

Maybe I'm just a loser. There's always edge cases. A couple years ago we went camping for a week in Death Valley. It was a balmy 70 in February, while we got feet of snow at home. But I hadn't really been on longer camping trips since carrying around a cell phone, and the national park's limited cell coverage made it drain exceptionally fast. Meanwhile, the bathrooms and visitor center had plugs, but I didn't want to hang out there for too long. I decided what was really needed was a charger with a built in capacitor, allowing you to plug in for 1-5 minutes, but then have enough juice to charge your iPhone to 50% or more. I don't know if these are available, but it sure made a lot of sense in that particular usage, and I could see others. But, it likely isn't a mainstream need, just as normally we plug in our iPhones at night (though I really need to buy a Qi charger pad for my wife's iPhone, just to make it even easier).

The market made a major reversal on Friday. I like this guesstimate better than some of yours. It sure seems like your theories change a lot, but as long as it pays off for you I suppose that's fine. Even if I don't agree with all of them, I do like hearing your predictions, especially when they include some reasoning. In the end, we all want to make some money with our investments. But I think many including myself feel better about the movements in AAPL and the market when we have some idea why something happened, so that we can feel there is some rhyme or reason to it, since at least occasionally it feels lacking in that regard.
