While it's technically true in every ecosystem, it's particularly egregious in Apple's: staying productive is typically defined by the products we use. It's why folks who watched the MacBook Pro evolve into something far less "pro" were so adamant Apple was losing touch. Removing features in a device that's meant to get a lot of work done isn't a great move.
A new iPhone trade-in tool from Apple, dubbed “Trade-In Tool and Cosmetic Scan,” will let you scan your device for cosmetic damage with another iPhone camera.
Apple typically kicks things off for an upcoming software update with a developer beta. Soon after that, a public beta arrives to broaden the testing phase. And sure enough, that's what we have today.

Way back in the day, somewhere around the 2016 mark, Apple reached a major milestone: 1 billion active devices globally. And if the quarterly earnings tell us anything on a regular basis, Apple has been steadily adding to those numbers. Which is why it's not surprising to hear the company's getting closer and closer to another milestone.
