Does anyone else have a MIL (mother-in-law) that wanted to know your Christmas wish list over a month ago? No? Just me?
I don’t know what I want for Christmas. I have barely decided on my favorite Halloween candy this year (Twix is edging out 100Grand, and who knew it was such a popular opinion).
This should be easy. These are gifts, after all. And I covet many, many things. On the tech side, there are a few items that probably won’t make it into Santa’s sleigh, and these are not to be confused with “The Best Tech of 2022” gadgets. This is the stuff I want, and absolutely in order:
- I want a new iPhone. There, I said it. I have an 11 Pro. I want the 14. I think it’s stupid that it won’t sit flush on the counter because the cameras stick out (won’t they get scratched?!), and I don’t particularly like the more square design, but this old thing in my pocket is starting to make me feel like a thrift store.
- My own subscription to Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ and whatever other streaming service that I currently “borrow.” THEY’RE FAMILY PLANS!!! To be clear, I don’t want to pay for these services ever. I want them to drop onto my TV with a bow attached to my email address.
- You know what goes with a streaming service? A QLED TV. This tech isn’t exactly new, and the 75+” in our basement does the job just fine. But this is my list, and for some baseless reason, I want a new TV.
- New AirPod Pros. Again.
- Wouldn’t it be cool if my car had that cutting-edge new feature, what’s it called? Bluetooth audio? Yeah. I need a new car.
Check it twice, I’ve been nice.
