    I am truly happy to see this as well. As a woman who’s been extremely successfully poly for almost a decade, I feel like I fight against the grain whenever I am able to explain how…

    Yeah, I need a phone that can run Apple's GarageBand, (easily my most-used app; hundreds and hundreds of hours, and as I use Logic to create music at home and have for 15+ years, I…
