For real. This just went from insta-purchase to "guess I'll have one someday, but not anytime soon". I use these to help keep track of my kids, but I'll probably get them AWs before I upgrade to 26 in all honesty.

People who don't have credit? I used a debit card at one point, though I don't anymore. But also, they're looking at moving their credit cards to Discover as well, which would make huge waves (both in the credit card/ban

The search results in the App Store are ridiculous. Sometimes I search for an app by name and have to scroll through dozens of other apps before finding the one I had searched for. App Store search is as broken as Apple Mail search, if not

Aren't many of these non-pure-gas-powered vehicles still very gas-heavy, but just have an electric system for extra oomph?
