The more every statement from the company, include John Gruber, uses the same "all-in on face ID" mantra, the more it sounds like they are pushing a scripted narrative. I at least hope the PR machine is trying to convince the outside world instead of inside Apple that they really were all in. Either way, they are actively trying to convince someone that they were "all in". They are all-in on this script. They are all in on the narrative. They are all in on the storyline. 

What a ridiculously skeptical assumption!

So, you'd rather believe a consensus of babble from a list of babblers over simply looking for yourself at the fact that Face ID is fundamentally better than Touch ID.

Amazing.

Seems to me Tile needs to quick squawking and get on Apple's "Find My" band wagon.

iPad OS is the new macOS.

Nope. They're still separate—just a little more overlap where it makes sense.

I like that the iPad is getting more powerful with each new edition.

I don't care about any of this yap, yap crap, good or bad in the media.

I just love Apple products for what they are. Good products.

Love my late 2014 iMac, my old Mac mini which can still run Mojave for one still-important app, my iPhone XS Max, and my iPad Pro 12.9" with Apple Pencil. Just recently got an Apple Watch Series 6 to replace my 3, and I'm looking forward to the iPhone 12 (or 13) and an M1 iMac.

I also love Catalina and the latest iOS and iPad OS.

"What I will remember most fondly will not be the products," he said, "it will be the process."

THIS is the kicker of the whole interview!

A person's only real pay in life is the enjoyment of the effort he/she puts out. The products (or trophies) come and go. They don't matter nearly as much as the team participation and the next "game." No amount of money or possessions will substitute for it.

Those who have experienced this know what I'm talking about, and I won't bother to explain it to anyone else.

This is a big chunk of the "magic" of Apple: Sir Jony's many contributions on an ongoing basis as part of the Apple team.

Apple products on my "want" list: iPhone X, Apple Watch Series 3 with cellular, iMac Pro, and iPad Pro/Apple Pencil.

What ever happened to experiencing something without preconceptions or bias? I’m halfway through the first episode and enjoying it. Good production quality.

Looking is much better than thinking. Just watch the damn thing! It’s GOOD!

I thought Chromebooks were going to kill off the iPad.

Saw an ad from Walmart for a $89 Chromebook. They can't even give them away. Of course, they still use them in middle school (at least) in my town but I'm assuming they don't last more than one school year.

It's yet another MIS-education of the younger generation: always buy cheap and/or expect free shit. Never plan for the future—'cause we're all gonna die anyway!!

I don't care what anyone says, I bought the first iPhone, bought most of the successors over the years, but this iPhone 12 Pro Max is by far the best ever. I'm glad and grateful for Apple's success with this product line!!

That curved glass corner window probably cost more than your house. 

Interesting point!

I can't imagine where Apple would be today without its own retail stores, which just keep getting better over the years. What a contrast to Microsoft's feeble efforts in that kind of activity!!
