Welcome to the high and low podcast.

This is your host, Bravo, Bravo, Docking Bravo, and I am excited to be doing a recap.

I've been doing so much deep dives on.

It ends with us slash it's never going to end.

And I'm just happy to do a recap.

I don't know how y'all are holding up. I'm having a, I'm having a bit of a tough time with current events that are currently

happening. Which ones you say? All of the above. D. All of the above. And then on top of

everything else, my iPhone stopped accepting updates. And we know that's the kiss of death when that

starts happening. And I don't know why it started happening like two months ago. Coincidentally,

the month after I fully paid it off. It was my two-year anniversary with this phone, and I got

a stiff middle finger. I did everything. I did all the troubleshooting. I went to all the

websites, all of it.

Because what happened was it stopped working, period. Like I would leave my house and if I wasn't on Wi-Fi, I couldn't use it at all. Couldn't make a call, couldn't text anybody. It was like the 80s. I was just out there. Couldn't reach anyone. Freeing and horrifying, just like the 80s. So I go to the Apple store, I walk in there, and I only had 15 minutes before I was going to a kid's movie.

Shout out, Dog Man. freeing and horrifying, just like the 80s. So I go to the Apple store, I walk in there, and I only had

And if something goes wrong with your phone, planned obsoles, care. It turns I did not have AppleCare. What is AppleCare, you ask? That's where you pay $9.99 a month in

perpetuity. And if something goes wrong with your phone, planned obsolescence, for example,

they say that they will give you another phone for like between $20 or $99. A lot less than what I paid

for another iPhone. She's holding in her hand. She says, this is useless to you. Zero trade in value. I said, okay, well, you know what? To me, it's priceless because it has TikTok on it.
