The US is so large (the UK for instance is smaller than some US states) that in some areas it isn't profitable to offer some services.
Europe, not the UK. The US is not larger than Europe.

It's really about coverage. The land area of the USA is 9.83 million km². The land area of Europe is 10.18 million km². Like Hawaii, Europe has a bunch of islands off its central land mass as well.There are greater distances within the US than within Europe thanks to hawaii and Alaska.
well if you're gonna start doing that then you better include europes overseas areas, hell france by itself has "larger distances" than the USAThere are greater distances within the US than within Europe thanks to hawaii and Alaska.

But "real work" was never really the justification for a personal computer. That’s an extension of running a terminal connected to the company mainframe back in the 1960s (that we are conceptually moving back towards, ironically enough.)
Rather, a personal computer (if you move outside the x86/MS definition) could arguably be for doing personal stuff. And then it’s clear that these days, mobile devices largely fill that function. My very elderly parents ditched their last computer once they discovered iPads, and my daughters regard laptops as overly heavy tablets, with a keyboard inexplicably and annoyingly permanently attached.
They do all their messaging, photography (and sharing), videos (and sharing), banking, booking, gaming, watching films, listening to music and sharing playlists, searching, shopping, et cetera, on mobile devices. They have no interest in either a Windows or MacOS computer, hell even our administration at work is dropping their O365 subscription and moving to OS agnostic solutions for all their tasks.
Personal computers as we knew them say twenty years ago, are largely legacy devices.
Well they did package them nicely. And they did run MacOS, which provided some benefits and drawbacks that suited some.
And of course these days they are moving to their own hardware again, but conceptually these are the same as their old x86 machines, only with hardware that is better suited to the task. Which is nice, but does nothing to move them out of that legacy+work niche.
I was gonna point that out as well but then you have NZ and oz which have a less population than USA (and in OZ a lot less)The main difference between Europe and the USA is the way people a distributed. Most european countries have a population density over 100 people / km². The corresponding number for the US i 34. US population is, as a first order generalization, concentrated in relatively few, large population centers, with a big part in the middle used for growing corn.
Hawaii is a state, with a population over a million not an overseas territory.well if you're gonna start doing that then you better include europes overseas areas, hell france by itself has "larger distances" than the USA
I didnt realize there was a piece off the coast of canada!

This is very off topic though.

yes I've been there to see the lava up close talk about expensive during xmas $300US for a 40 min return flight to the big island from maui (the last time I took a flight was 3hrs to gran canary island $25 return, which in itself is a joke, should be illegal these subsidized flights)Hawaii is a state, with a population over a million not an overseas territory.
Obviously its got cheap internet, since it has high population density ?and is an integral parts of the French Republic. Réunion is an outermost region of the European Union and is part of the eurozone.[3] Réunion and the fellow French overseas department of Mayotte are the only eurozone regions located in the Southern Hemisphere.

It only covers 119 396 km^2 though, Queen Elizabeth technically rules over 29 958 050 km^2 and it obviously dwarfs the US. And everyone else for that matter.
IOS15 could be called IOS14.7 aswell but ok. Also, anything below Iphone 8/X (A11 Bionic) wont see the features apple made headlines with in their IOS15 unveil.
I dont know a single person outside of the tech world that cares about updates, they often dont even know they have an update waiting
Hell my gf got pissed when she upgraded to an iPhone without a homebutton because now she had to relearn everything
