Apple has released a phone thats just a slab of black sapphire glass; no ports or buttons, waterproof as a result. It charges wirelessly and simulated home/lock/volume buttons use force touch for feedback. No way to actually open and repair it but apple's QC is good enough that it only really fucks up when the battery degrades. 256GB internal storage on all models, comes in 3 screen sizes: S:4 inch; M:4.7 inch; and L:6 inch. iCloud is still only 5GB and it still uses the app grid homescreen layoutSony is experimenting with camera enabled contact lensesSamsung's 24GB RAM Galaxy S20 Active Edge Plus with Smart Pen is released. Waterproof, No SD card, Touchwiz is now it's own OS based on android, has an appstore similar to the one on the kindle fire.

Hey guys, my CIS Straight White Male Sex Activity Permit just arrived, our local transsexual imam took just 3 days to issue it.Now I can consume my marriage with my 9 year old loli wife; of course, provided that I observe her proper participation in the Multiethnic Multiple Partner Open Relationship Program. I get her blacked and she can legally fuck me with a strapon and golden shower me, occasionally she'll give me a handjob and one day she might just allow me to do her vaginally.Anyway, now that we are engaged and my permit is through, we're pretty much a proper couple now, so I'm getting allocated 3 compulsory kids from the Multicultural Child Raising Program.
