That's uncharacteristic of ze Germans to give a bunch of options for a measly $800.  Nice job!

This almost makes up for the fact that you have to pay ~$1500 just to get Apple CarPlay in the Macan.

I get that Porsche can easily charge for things like this but it's a bit annoying when you're talking about a feature that's standard on a $20k Golf.

Screw Apple and its proprietary products.

Agreed.  Along with restricting features.  Can't share data among apps in iOS because it lacks a central file system.

False.  I could not do it.

Here's the scenario:

I vpn into our server, download an excel file.  I couldn't get it into an editor to modify.  Nor could I get it over to an email if I am replying to a message.  And if there is away, it is completely and utterly convoluted and frustrating.  Extremely un-Apple like.  I find that iPhone is not that great for business users because of these types of issues.  I mean my old POS BlackBerry would have done the above with ease.  My current Android certainly does.

That's a limitation of the app you used to download the file.

Lol.  I tried 10 different apps.  The OS is sh!t.  If it's that difficult to share data, then there is something fundamentally wrong.
