@matigo I plan to occasionally use the data service (that's why I got an LTE model). I thought I had my old T-Mobile iPad SIM still, but must have tossed it when I purged old SIM cards.
Looks like China is living the future [medium.com] the US is slowly realizing they too are in:
In China, that foundation of reality is eroded alongside trust in institutions previously tasked with upholding the truth. Contrary to popular sentiment in the US, Chinese readers don’t blindly trust the state-run media. Rather, they distrust it so much that they don’t trust any form of media, instead putting their faith in what their friends and family tell them. No institution is trusted enough to act as a definitive fact-checker, and so it’s easy for misinformation to proliferate unchecked.
This has been China’s story for decades. In 2016, it is starting to be the US’ story as well.
@kdfrawg This one would have been hard to do in email. It would have been easier to do in person, aside from the fact they're on the other side of the country. :P

@matigo As long as the battery doesn't drop from 10-20% to dead in ten seconds, I'm good. That's the point I usually replace the battery…
