So I just upgraded to a 12 Pro and am trying to find a suitable replacement case similar to what I had on my previous phone (see here), but I'm having trouble so I'm looking for recommendations if anyone has similar cases.

I'm running into a lot of them saying they don't work for wireless charging, like this one that was the running favorite until I saw that bullet point. My old Under Armour one worked with my wireless charger and wasn't obvious about having a compartment to store cards/cash like a big bump out or the "open" pockets most cases seem to have.

iPhone's market share has grown 15% since 2019 to now >50% in US, which bodes well for future earnings on the back of SaaS subscriptions to iCloud, Music, News, Arcade, etc...

Apple overtakes Android to pass 50% share of smartphones used in US
Milestone was passed in quarter ending in June, says Counterpoint Research

Apple has overtaken Android devices to account for more than half of smartphones used in the US, giving the iPhone maker an edge over its rival as it pushes into sectors including finance and healthcare.

The 50 per cent landmark — the iPhone’s highest share since it launched in 2007 — was first passed in the quarter ending in June, according to data from Counterpoint Research. Some 150 devices using Google’s Android operating system, led by Samsung and Lenovo, accounted for the rest.

“Operating systems are like religions — never significant changes. But over the past four years the flow has consistently been Android to iOS,” said Counterpoint’s research director, Jeff Fieldhack. “This is a big milestone that we could see replicated in other affluent countries across the globe.”

The numbers are based on smartphones in use, known as the “active installed base”, what Apple finance chief Luca Maestri dubbed “the engine for our company” in a July earnings call.

This is a wider and more meaningful category than new phone shipments, which fluctuate from quarter to quarter and have already demonstrated Apple’s newfound strength.

Cont'd ...

Hmm ... without seeing what all it can do I'm going to say it's over-engineered. Too many bells and whistles to integrate with the phone, which runs counter to Apple's identity of making products that are attractive because of their simplicity.

Tech companies have been marrying the phone to the PDA for almost a decade now, and they're still not successful. Consumers seem to be pretty clear that these hybrid devices are NOT what they want.

NAILED IT. Yeah, I was super skeptical at launch. What I underestimated was the predictive capabilities of the keyboard — if the first letter you type is a t, the hit box of the h and o get bigger, — or that in 15 years we’d all be able to shoot 4k video with gimbal stabilization and 48MP RAW photos with the phone.

The photography aspect is why I’m still long Apple. As all of us wind up with terabytes of photos in our iCloud accounts, we’ll just buy the next subscription tier and keep on taking bigger and bigger photos.

It was a fucking brilliant and sticky business model.

EDIT: Oh, in my defense I was commenting on the iPhone 1, and it wasn’t an overnight success. The iPhone blew up when Apple launched the AppStore with iPhone 3.
