As we rush headlong into the busy holiday (shopping) season, here’s an article from the Atlantic (via Apple news, which helps get around some paywalls) about the incredible waste associated with returns. No silver lining or happy ending in this article, unfortunately. But a ton of good information along with some erudite writing.

This article is literally dated nine days AFTER the Z Flip 4 and Fold 4 were unveiled by Samsung. News flash: software is finished. I hope Phone Arena didn't pay Nick Todorov much for this article! In fact- if they paid him at all, I have some content to sell them...
