I initially thought of my RG35XX+ when I read "the game console in your pocket" and thought "no, it's not region locked". Then I realized this was a discussion about iPhones and yes, they are region locked now. But,

I wish we put 10% as much money into public transit as we do for cars and their associated infrastructure. The roads would be more open for people who do enjoy driving. And folks like me could kick back and let the bus driver/train eng

I think either would be an improvement over the current situation. I'd be happy with regulations that put a cap on the fees, similar to what the EU has. I want payment methods to compete by offering better service for lower fees, not b
