I almost only read good things about the 11. The 9&10 seem to be not that great. I'm still on the 7T pro and it's still treating me very well.

Ah, yes. Buy a new device. Can't just grab your old phone from out of the drawer and be on with your day.

This would be amazing for my home office. I’m looking for a way to get rid of my laptop charger (keep it for emergencies) and have a more permanent solution setup

Yes lol I remember hearing that line over and over again. That's why I give a little credence to Apple's track record.

This.
Self preservation is a strong basic motivator. It’s extremely rare for an individual to both have enough desire to do something radical with planning while also lacking the will to keep living.

>But can kerosine melt steel beams?
Assuming you're not just memeing:
Not a mettalurgist, but IIRC it's can't fully melt structural steel, but it can weaken it until it no longer has the excess load bearing capacity to remain stable.
If Memeing: no one has conclusively proven that LiPo battery fires didn't cause the world trade center collapse...

They fly less like an aircraft and more like the most manuverable helicopter you've ever imagined.
Doubly so for the ones capable of 3D flight model (props can spin backward)

TBH, yes.
They both take about the same pilot training (hrs wise) but FPV is far less destructive (and headline grabbing) than hijacking a plane full of people.
As a bonus*, the plane is already a bomb with all the fuel onboard. FPV terrorist has to make his own warhead.
*"bonus" is a highly subjective word here.

Exactly. It was all "It's just a big iPhone, that's dumb lol!"
And now Apple is the only tablet in town, they own the market.
Same with the watch, and the iPod back in the day.

A drone bomb is still a bomb, so controlling bomb making materials still prevents drone bombs too

So you're saying 9/11 was done by folks who were willing to go to flight school but FPV is too hard?

Now I really want to try an FPV drone. Former military pilot, I still think I’m hot shit, haven’t thought about aircraft in ages.

Lol. But if the oceans are rising, why are all the rich buying islands and building mansions and insurances still insure them? 🤔
