Great, once these reach consumers you'll never be sure you aren't being spied on.

I bought an iPhone 12 for a relative a few years ago, that thing holds up great. One of the cheapest models with an OLED screen I think, which still looks absolutely stunning. They make such small incremental upgrades now which makes it hard to justify a newer model.

I couldn't agree more. Standardization of connectors would be a huge move forward, but these companies do their best to keep us out of each others ecosystems as much as they can. It's extremely anti-consumer.

So your neighbor can buy some plastic bullshit they don’t need made by children they don’t care about, of course!

Or the roof of a house in another country waiting to be engaged. Or your house right here on planet earth. Attenbury doesn’t narrate that one.

Something from Amazon showed up when. I happened to be in the front yard. I was just going to have her hand me the package but she said she still had to place it by the door and take a pic of it. I never really thought about it but I guess that's the only way to prove it was delivered even though I was standing right there.

I've said for years that one day there will be a demand for contractors to build people drone landing sites for deliveries.
I can see something like a flat roof doghouse with a big QR code on top. When the package is dropped off something clever will happen and the box will slide into a locked container.

A drop like that would probably be nothing compared to what the average package endures en route. Carefully placing packages at a door is just for good image especially with doorbell cameras everywhere now, there's not much a carrier can do to cause any more damage than was already done in processing.
If an item is fragile it should be packaged more securely or shipped with special handling

This method isn’t cost effective compared to current Amazon model or else it would have been implement already

Exactly! I switched from Android to iPhone with the 12 mini. It does everything well and Apple is going to support it with software updates for 6+ years. Only thing it might need is a battery in a couple more years. It would be nice to have USB C so my wife and I could share chargers and cords but it's not worth upgrading just for that.
