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 (thanks @DetroitBORG)

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
