Apple still sells tv shows in the tv app. Also you can buy shows on prime. And brad don’t sleep on ted lasso. That show is delightful.

Phones... My daughter got a fairphone because she kept wrecking her pixel. For this phone she could repair the screen herself. Also I am indeed using a foldable phone and it is a great compromise between big screen and small form Factor. Lastly, Apple made a mini version of the iPhone but nobody bought it but they stopped it this year.
