While Black Friday shoppers found countless deals on all kinds of smartphones, one device was overtly left out of the price cuts — the iPhone X.

I have a confession: I hoard glass jars. I buy mason jars whenever I get the chance.

RFID chips are everywhere. They're in passports, credit cards, and tons of items you've bought in the last 5 years or so.
