Worth it

COdogman · Sep 16, 2025

I had a similar reaction when I got the email “Wow, a year already?” :surprised:

Apple Music drives me crazy but it’s still worth it.

Worth it.

Or you could buy 10 shares of Rivian stock. To show your support and so they won't have to send "Knuckles".

I use the data daily.

Same.

Interestingly enough, the trucks cell antenna is much stronger than my phones antenna. I can often makes calls using WiFi calling through the truck that I could not make through my phone by itself. I'm at that location 3 days a week usually, and spend more time on the phone than I care to admit. Very unexpected benefit.

You can use Apple Music without the subscription?

No. Sorry if my post was confusing. I meant to say I am a C+ subscriber and the Apple Music app drives me crazy but the subscription is still worth it to me.

It does work out to $12.50/mo, which isn’t nothing.

But the access to WiFi probably saves me roughly half that on mobile data. It’s hard to measure, but it’s not nothing.

Value for the money is there, at least for me. I still want a better Bluetooth player (or USB audio) though. I’d be streaming a lot less media if I had a better player for the music I already own.

I hate subscriptions but there is an ongoing cost for them for the google maps, cell service to the car, etc. It's worth it.

R1Thor · Sep 17, 2025

I'm going to go the opposite direction.

I don't believe this is worthwhile.

I don't use any of the music apps (I use YT Music connected via bluetooth).
I also have unlimited mobile data from my service provider, so the hotspot isn't needed. There's nowhere I frequent that doesn't have cell phone data that my truck is making up for it.

I've only accessed Gear Guard Live like...3 times, and all out of curiosity: it had no objective value. I saw an unremarkable view of an otherwise empty parking lot each time.

I am not that impatient that I can't wait an extra week or 2 or 3 for the 'latest' updates. (In fact, some might argue it's nice to allow others to go first and find the bugs).

I just canceled. I'll sit in the camp of: 'if I find a reason for it at some point in the future, I'll subscribe to it then,' but $150 is not insignificant. If you think it is, 1- congratulations and 2- my 'buy me a coffee' link is below!

Ah thanks you had me worried for a minute!
