@edbaig @Zlatimeyer @StevenLevy @Pogue @karaswisher And here we are 8 years later, on the 10th anniversary of the IPhone. We are mic’d because we had done a video about it. https://t.co/1eFjf68SpD — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

Don’t expect a 5G phone to be lots faster for a year or two - at least on @Verizon, which @Apple hailed at its event. I’m a Verizon user. I checked their coverage map, and I’m in an LTE island. Their fastest 5G is AWOL from my area of the DC suburbs. Rollout is spotty nationally. https://t.co/GMSamzPzTG — PolitiTweet.org

Kudos to @benthompson for an especially smart newsletter today discussing the huge role @Apple gave to 5G & @Verizon at yesterday’s iPhone intro event, vs 3G & LTE years ago. He even included historical video clips for comparison. (Requires subscription). — PolitiTweet.org

Great thread. Great parenting. Never underestimate a 7-year-old. Maybe they should vote. Thanks, @KSheives! — PolitiTweet.org

@mullthedrummer @beninato I stand corrected. — PolitiTweet.org

@Bajarin @beninato Which won’t mean a lot for most people for quite awhile. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

A useful chart. One thing I noticed from studying it briefly: it appears that the new iPhone 12 mini has mostly smaller physical dimensions than last year's iPhone SE, but a larger, better screen and a newer processor. However, it's $300 more. Thanks, @beninato. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

Since @Apple can’t do its product launch events live, I highly recommend watching the video versions on a big/screen TV via @AppleTV. — PolitiTweet.org

@johnkartch She’s just following federal and D.C. health guidelines, as you well know. The whole hearing, which should have occurred after the election, should have been virtual. There’s no social distancing and most members are unmasked even when not speaking. — PolitiTweet.org

@MortenRank @R4nd4hl @JoannaStern Exactly. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@R4nd4hl @JoannaStern Their mainstream, non-techie customers have a huge investment in Lightning accessories. Meanwhile, USB-C has been a disaster for average people, one of the worst industry-wide launches in history. Nobody can easily figure out which identical looking cable or port does what. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

I’m skeptical of the polls. Biden is said to have a huge lead overall, but much tighter leads in key swing states. Trump could still win. But this one @cnn poll struck me as so dramatic it’s hard to ignore. I just don’t know if most voters decide based on these qualities. https://t.co/i1cvHJJEtt — PolitiTweet.org

Attn food delivery experts: Is DoorDash somehow related to the Toast delivery service? We ordered lunch from a local joint. They told us they used DoorDash, but the restaurant was only listed in the Toast App. We ordered from Toast, & Toast delivered. But the receipt was from DD. — PolitiTweet.org

And, yes, I know tax avoidance and tax evasion aren’t the same and our current president isn’t accused by DOJ. But the theme resonates. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

Front page 47 years ago today. A U.S. Vice President resigns due to kickbacks and tax evasion. Though this front page is from the @nytimes, it was the @WSJ that originally broke the corruption story. Does the theme of avoiding taxes by those at the top in D.C. sound familiar now? — PolitiTweet.org

@carolmcc13 Yes! It’s an extraordinary document! — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@ShapiroGlobal It’s a lost cause, unless a bunch of Republicans become ill, the Dems boycott, and McConnell can’t get a quorum on the floor. The Dems are doing the right thing by realizing they almost certainly can’t prevent her ascension to the Court, and focusing on the election. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@racheld I think the smart thing to do is exactly what they’re doing - focus 1000% on winning the election and worry about the Court later. Also, tactically, they may need Roberts when Trump challenges the outcome. And he is often moved by a concern over the reputation of the Court. — PolitiTweet.org
