  1. Apple's in house chips are way more powerful than the competition. Lets hope these other in house chips far exceed Qualacom's chips (but I am not holding my breathe).

  2. I was about to buy Volta cables, then I found Net10 for about half as much and the 10th gen Net10 cables are even Volta compatible! Not a shill, just trying to help people save money.
