🤔 Apple makes a phone, but phone calls aren’t its primary function.
🤔 Apple makes a watch, but people don’t buy it to tell time.

🤔 If Apple had made a car, I wonder what it would have done?

🍎 Mac Tip:
You know how in the Finder you can select a file and File, Get Info (⌘I)?
👉 Well if you hold the Option key down, that changes to File, Show Inspector (⌥⌘I).
☝️ The Inspector looks the same, but it floats on top and continues to show info for whatever file(s) you select. So useful!
