    Can you send pics?

    Despite the blather above, any serious prepper has everything planned
    out and set up to not depend smartphones or other such devices. The
    batteries do not last long enough.

    In an emergency a radio receiver should cover several bands (not just
    FM) and should be hand crankable. There are various cheap and not cheap
    ones on the usual sites.

    To flip it over - from the Troll's POV he should be shocked and angered
    that Android phones do not include AM - as much emergency broadcasting
    goes AM - in large part due to favourable nighttime propagation. (Why
    some AM stations are legally forced to shutdown at night and others are allowed to operate but possibly at reduced output power at night
    (Class-A aka "Clear channel" in North America)).

    Hilarious question coming from the loser troll who has been slinging
    little schoolyard juvenile "iKook" and "low IQ" insults at everyone in
    the Apple newsgroups who dares to use a certain product for which he has
    a raging, tiny, little hate boner for literal years...

    I try to understand you strange people, Jolly Roger, so I love your posts.

    You want this newsgroup to be all about the Apple YELLOW advertisements, which are "way cool" and you want it to be about their special glass that nobody else has the trademark for, and you want us to gloat about Apple's profits because that makes you feel your herd decisions are correct, etc.

    I get it, Jolly Roger.
    You want this newsgroup to only talk about Apple's marketing gimmicks.

    Whenever Apple spouts a new marketing gimmick (titanium!!!!!!!!!!!), you
    want all of us to rave about it - so that you feel better about your phone.

    OK. I'll help you.

    Do you want to know what Apple is the best in the world at, Jolly Roger?
    I know what Apple is better at than anyone else in the world, JR.

    Do you know what Apple does best?
    I do.

    Wow, they market phone material? Geez..
