Merry Christmas to the iPhone group. I hope today we can all stop bickering and have some good will toward all of us.

Merry Christmas to all!

This year I didn't put free phones into the stocking, but I already bought _multiple_ devices that Steve recommended, for example, for stocking
stuffers this year (wireless chargers, wired chargers, and even a USB hub
that Steve recently recommended to operate a phone with a broken screen!)

And, once in a while, nospam provides a technical detail about how iOS
works that is, in and of itself, reason enough to read his posts.

These are the stocking stuffers Steve had recommended which are GREAT!
(Steve knows how to get the best hardware at the lowest prices!)

Bearing in mind I read all posts in this newsgroup that aren't
from the trolls I've recently killfiled, there's a lot of good
helpful and kindly supplied information on this newsgroup.
