    Bluetooth was always insanely reliable for me for file transfers even on phones and PCs that were a decade apart in manufacturing date. It was slow, but for a lot of things that wa…

    iPhones on average don't last 3 times as much ib people's hands as Android phones that cost 66% as much. Better resale value is fair, but I am contesting that 2N figure strongly.

    My best guess is probably goint to be more than 1% in markets where SMS is commonly used. Not by much, but more than 1%. Maybe 2-3% tops.
