Duh. Sometimes I wish I could turn back to those glorious days when MR had only “like” as the possible reaction to post. It’s bad enough to scroll through a load of toxic comments, but having these passive aggressive “laughing” faces as well as thumbs down below every story is getting out of hand . Apparently some people think it’s cool.

Don't most new hardware releases have a day one software update? I assume the assembly and initial setup from apple, for any hardware, happens a good amount of time before delivery, so yeah, there's going to be updates.
