The last two Apple products I purchased for myself were: - OPENSTEP 4.2 --- for use on a NeXT Cube w/ a Wacom ArtZ tablet - Newton MessagePad I've been waiting for Apple to make a product which I want to use since the Newton was shut down, making do w/ a succession of Windows tablets and a Wacom One display attached to my MacBook, and a Kindle Scribe (recently upgraded to a Coloursoft), and a Galaxy Note 10+ --- being able to use the same stylus on all of my devices is quite nice.

This kind of shit is why I've decided to avoid Samsung wherever possible. I bought a galaxy watch years ago and got sucked in with a galaxy flagship phone and the Samsung earbuds. Every Samsung device I've ever owned since the galaxy s4 has been utter trash. The watch was never useful because Samsung wanted to create their own app ecosystem and all but abandoned it. My note 10+ is full of bugs and rooting it is entirely out of the question. My earbuds have been nothing but trouble and are thankfully finally dead enough that I can justify replacing them. Can't wait for this phone to finally die so I can replace it with something that I don't actively hate.

Was a loyal OnePlus customer, but jumped to a used Samsung Note 10+. The Note has an amazing screen and much better camera. Be sure to use the Android Universal Debloater[1] and your favorite launcher, and it will feel like stock Android, just like OnePlus used to deliver.
