It's iPhone week! 🆒
Happy Saturday! But first some housekeeping. Since the last time I wrote one of these I've switched platforms. I used to make these on Substack but I decided to move it all over to Revue just because now I get a sweet little subscribe button that I can add to my Twitter profile. Other than a few format changes, nothing else really changes (I think) but I guess we'll find out once I send this.
Anyway, the iPhone 13 was announced this past week! And in honor of that this issue is going to be about the top three accessories that make me jealous of iPhone users. I'm using a Google Pixel 4a which I love, but the world is made for frickin' iPhone.
In this issue
📱 Cases and colors and way more options
🧲 Magsafe carmounts
💳 A wallet

Moment Case in Mustard Yellow
The one thing that has always bugged me is just how many more options there are for iPhones. If you're an Android user, you're more or less stuck with whatever cases the manufacturer sells or whatever your carrier has in stock that day. Not the case with the iPhone.
Take the company Moment. They make some great products including a Pixel 4a case that I sometimes use, but all of its cool products are reserved for the iPhone. I'm not even a case guy, but I would like nothing more than to throw my Pixel 4a in this mustard yellow case just because I love that color. But I guess making cases for Pixel 4a isn't worth it to the bottom line, which is unfortunately true for most companies.
Zagg Snap+ Wireless Vent Mount
The phone is constantly falling out and sometimes the entire mount comes flying off too. It's very annoying. I'm very jealous that iPhone users can just snap their phone into place and be on their way without needing to adjust anything. Plus, this one from Zagg doubles as a wireless charger so you can get to your destination with a full battery. Love it. Want it. Can't have it.
iPhone Leather Wallet with Magsafe
I love my wallet. It's a Bellroy Slim Sleeve. I just spoke about it in my newest video that you should totally go watch after you're done reading this (shameless 🔌). That said, I wish I didn't need it. I'm on a never-ending mission to carry as few things on me as possible, which makes me very jealous of the Magsafe wallet that snaps onto the back of compatible iPhones.
They're small, made of quality leather (I actually really do like the leather that Apple uses), but most importantly I can attach them to something I'm already always carrying in my pocket. Two birds, one expensive f*cking stone.

This past week was the start of Hispanic heritage month! So in honor of that here's a pixel art picture of something that myself and almost every other Hispanic I know grew up with in their kitchens.
