Layoff is not "firing."

Layoff   = "not for cause"  i.e., the company eliminated the POSITION
Firing   = "for cause"         i.e., the company terminated the INDIVIDUAL due to behavior or performance in the role

Yeah I realize that either stinks, especially right before Christmas.

I just ask that journalists not use "fired" as a shorthand for "laid off".  They are not the same.

I read this site everyday. Most articles are extremely detailed and articulate. 

This is one is amateur hour.

I respect your opinion but feel the opposite way.

Max, I thought this was a balanced and objective review. Thank you.

Potentially, future AR glasses would include some variant on FaceID that would further increase demand for VCSELs.

If true, I doubt next year's iPhone X (XI?) would drop in price. I was hoping that the XI would start at less than $999 as the FaceID circuitry would be "commoditized" over multiple phones next year.

Small clarification:  the article is describing the 2019 phone, not yext year's (which will be 2018).  So including this new tech in the 2019 phone may not affect next year's price.

Is this now, finally, really really over?  No more appeal avenues?
