What the ad doesn't tell us is that the Mandalorian was late in meeting up with his friends which is why he needed to use the "Find Your Friends" feature. His iPhone alarm didn't wake him up when it was supposed to.

Doomsayers? AAPL:NASDAQ ('https://www.google.com/finance/quote/AAPL:NASDAQ?sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi457Gi3PGFAxWLEFkFHfO8B4kQ3ecFegQIMhAX')

Perhaps you refer to the imminent application of the EU regulations? Yes, I assure you, we are quite safe from your MEPs here. Everything that has transpired has done so according to my design. It was I who allowed the DMA to require alternate app stores. iPhone is quite safe from your pitiful little Androids. An entire legion of my best geniuses awaits them. Oh, I'm afraid Siri's AI will be quite operational when your friends arrive.
