I think the idea and write up is neat, but I question if the brother ever thought of, I don’t know, hiring a receptionist so he wasn’t losing “thousands of dollars per month”? Maybe I’m oversimplifying the problem. The other aspect of this

It's quite telling how dumb even Apple thinks the case is when you have to scroll pretty far down on the page and then pretty far to the right to see the so-called "Smart Case". It remains a pretty horrendous "case"
