MLS gets a lot cheaper

Fans of Messi rejoice!

How many streaming platforms do you subscribe to?

For me, it’s starting to add up.

Between Apple TV+, HBO Max, Netflix, Disney+ and Hulu, streaming is getting pretty pricey.

It’ll soon be as expensive as the cable bill that all this cord-cutting was supposed to eliminate.

But here’s a glimmer of good news, especially if you’re a fan of the beautiful game: Apple just significantly dropped the price of the MLS Season Pass.

How much? Enough to pay for a whole bunch of six-packs to enjoy while watching Lionel Messi run rings around everyone!

  • I love the Magic Keyboard that I use with my iPad Pro. The next version may be even more metal.

  • Looking for a return? Consider investing in Mode Mobile, a new smartphone company that’s paying users to play games, listen to music, and even charge their devices. Details below.

  • This tiny SSD packs a whopping 2TB of storage.

  • Surprisingly, readers of this newsletter are firmly against Apple’s plan to scan iCloud photo libraries for CSAM imagery. See the results of last Friday’s poll below.

First disruption to smartphones in 15 years🤳

Tech startup with traction: Turn your phone from a cost to an income source. Intriguing idea, isn't it? This is why we have our eyes on the launch of Mode Mobile’s pre-IPO offering. It’s the latest in a series of impressive raises among smartphone innovators, likely spurred by Apple’s recent $3+ trillion valuation.

Mode saw 150x revenue growth from 2019 to 2022, a leap that has made it one of America’s fastest-growing companies. Mode is on a mission to disrupt the entire industry with its “EarnPhone,” a budget smartphone that’s helped consumers earn and save $150M+ for activities like listening to music, playing games, and ... even charging their devices?! Over 11,000 investors already acquired shares — and with only days remaining prior to the bonus tier closing, allocations are limited. 📈 Claim exclusive 110% bonus: $0.16/share*.

One more thing ...

I’ll always remember Apple like any man remembers the first woman he’s fallen in love with.
