I saw a video recently of him letting someone have a card binder of her choice for free because she was using a cardboard box.

It's possible that the headline has been updated, or it was different from the push notification, but that is from the BBC app, and has nothing to do with apple.

Work sells Dualit toasters and a few times a year we get an email asking if we can send parts to the US or Australia, so people can fix toasters they bought in the UK decades ago.
