Got mine in the mail today. Do it asap if you can because you have to send in the originals of your documentation (I used my birth certificate) and you don’t get it back until a week or so after getting your passport. I’m probably just paranoid, but I have no desire to be waiting on the next administration to send my birth certificate back.

I’m not sure getting rid of presidential pardons is right either. There are cases of provably innocent people on death row who have been saved from execution by presidential pardon because the justice system otherwise failed them. It’s not a perfect system, and it has failed more than it has saved, but until we reform the justice system (and probably ban the death penalty) stopping presidential pardons is a terrible idea.

They won’t care, they have the consumerist crowd locked down. The crowd that buys dozens of Stanley Tumblers so they have one that matches any outfit. There might be more of us who care than there used to be, but the average iPhone buyer doesn’t care and Apple knows it.
