New home automation devices coming?

[Chuck]

I have looked into that and Verizon wants more money from me for that option. I prefer to hold Apple accountable which will help everyone who has an Apple product. Apple is getting pretty sloppy with their very complex system integration  these days.

Apple gets to skate on this stuff too long even though they promote it. They really hate having their feet held to the fire.

My MacBook Pro is going into the shop (under warranty) for the 5th time to try and fix my Bluetooth connection issues with my iPhone, iPad, wife’s iPhone, wife’s iPad, and most other devices I have. I have had my iPhone into the shop several times also and they finally gave me a new one. It doesn’t work any better than the other iPhone.
