Apple’s Foldable iPhone + What’s the Greatest Sitcom Ever?
Today on Start Your Day Positive — TSA is testing a way for some non-travelers to get back through airport security and all the way to the gate. Browns star Denzel Ward is making another investment in Cleveland, joining the ownership group of the Cleveland Guardians. Apple has unveiled its newest iPhones, including its first-ever foldable phone with a $1,999 price tag. That sounds expensive — until we compare it with what some of history’s first TVs, refrigerators, vacuums, microwaves and VCRs would cost in today’s money. In Today in History, we remember an Olympic marathon victory that was remarkable for one very unusual reason, and we celebrate the anniversary of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. That leads to a debate over the greatest sitcoms of all time — and how the favorites of today compare with the massive TV hits of years past. And we wrap up with a great reminder from Coco Gauff: “I find that every time I have done well at a tournament is when I have taken a step back and just focus on the joy of it all.” A good reminder that sometimes success comes when we stop pressing quite so hard and remember to enjoy what we’re doing.
