It seems this was an easily avoidable mistake. Did they not test these models, or did they just say “good enough” and shove them out the door? 

And yes, 256 gigs is too small these days. 

Mistake? Your needs are not the same as mine. For my use 256 gig is more than enough. But by your reasoning I should have to pay for useless excessive memory to make you happy. Apple makes a range of configurations available to allow customers to match their preferences/needs. I don’t think that’s a mistake. 

It can only be “Late” if a date has been announced by Apple and then missed.

i have exterior electrical boxes on my house — anyone know a product like the Arlo (flood + camera) that’s wired for juice?

Check the Netatmo products, I have two of the Smart Indoor cameras and one Smart Outdoor cameras. I am pleased with the performance of both.

Whether it's a Series 5 or any other series, Sleeping with an Apple Watch is impossible because when I move my Watch-hand onto my pillow in front of my face, the screen comes on bright and it's like a laser beam shining through my eyelids. I wonder if anyone at Apple has tested the Watch and considered fixing this problem? For a million bucks a year I would be happy to go work for Apple and tell them what their other product's problems are.

Just activate “Theater Mode”, problem solved.

Gotta say, I'm stumped by Apple Pencil. Tried it out at a retail location, and darned if I could figure out how it works. I suppose if you are an artist, it is likely the greatest thing since sliced raisin toast. But I clicked, I tapped, I tried to draw...all baffling and resulted in strange things on the screen. I guess if you don't know how to use a tool it can't help you. It sure seemed like the least intuitive think from Apple I've tried. YMMV.

It is a stylus. More accurate than a finger. My wife uses hers on her iPad Pro 11” to play games such as Words With Friends, Candy Crush and what ever. She loves it. She would use a Pencil with her iPhone if it supported it. Words With Friends is a little harder on the iPhone X. And if it attached like the current Pencil, it would suit her needs/wants. You can sketch in Notes, and I have done that a few times when trying to explain something.
