    Apple Sport Loop x Nike Sport Loop

    Hey, guys! I am planning to purchase a black Nike Nike Sport Loop and I wonder: does the Nike SL feel the same as Apple? I saw in a video that Nike's is not as "soft" as Apple's. That's true?

    Open letter to Tim Cook

    I try for weeks to get a copy of my AppleWatch 4 invoice, but it seems too difficult for Apple to do that.
