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

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

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

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

Great my train is dual-core
A closeup picture of a decal specifying train specs at a Hong Kong MTR subway train platform. The center square, white text on a deep blue background, says C-A5. The Myriad Pro typeface used by the Hong Kong subway is that of the Apple corporate typeface in 2011, the year where the Apple’s dual-core A5 chip was launched. The joke is that the train has the Apple A5 hardware because of the typeface and A5 insignia.

Want to let go of this Space Gray iPhone 6 Plus on iOS 8.1.2 for cheap as the cosmetic condition simply isn’t great

Fully functional but the volume buttons are nearly unpressable, and the phone has a few tiny dents

If you are okay with this, I’d love to hear you offers, thank you

I finally tracked down an iPhone 5s on iOS 7.0, look at how different iOS 7 used to look

(7.0.5 btw, I’ve been told it’s a good version to have?)
