t-mobile was the same on their older plans, but they let you accumulate unused data and use that if you go over instead of throttling you.
Verizon does both. One month rollover and “smart guard” or something that throttles you after you run out of data instead of charging you more.

You can put Now Playing in the dock and get to it by pressing the side button.

Or put the Now Playing complication on a face with a bottom complication area and tap that.

Or go to Settings - General - Wake Screen in the Watch app and turn on Auto-launch Audio Apps to have controls always pop up automatically when you play music on your phone (which is kind of annoying).

Mid-late 80s your phone bill was very roughly $30-35/mo not including long distance, which would vary greatly, but usually started with a $5 fee just to be able to make long distance phone calls. There were also different rates for in-state long distance and out-of-state long distance.

Stamps were about 20 cents.

Checks were generally first box free, then $5/box.

Magazines, about $10/yr.

Cable TV was still kind of just starting.

Road maps were free from AAA if you knew about it.

In general, all these together were no where near the price of rent of a small apartment for a month, which is kind of where we are now.

All this brought to you by a really fuzzy memory.
