Horrible idea. USB-C on an iPad is passable. But USB-C has shown on the MacBooks it is NOT a durable connection- the ports get loose, they are flimsy and pull right out. On an iPad or MacBook this is not much of a problem. But on an iPhone, you're frequently plugging it in, dropping it, catching it by the cable while plugged in- it gets A LOT of wear and tear, and USB-C is way to flimsy a connector for this. Beef up Lightning and make a new, higher capacity version of it, please. We need robust connectors for devices that are used as much as our phones are.

No matter how laudable Apple‘s motives may be, this is an idea which should never have come to pass.

Totally agree, if it's really about the cloud they would need to scan in the cloud and not putting spyware onto a billion if devices.

Since scanning data on user's devices is prohibited in many countries, Apple is also in legal trouble (even when it officially is only in the USA), since a company plays the gatekeeper of this spyware and could change things at any time (even for specific users)!

Agree with both these points. 

I will never donate to Wikipedia again— too biased and unreliable. 

You know what this means. I have to buy another #%& Magic Keyboard. 

“...unleashed another round of innovation.” 

So let’s take a poll— who thinks we’ll see 

A) an iPad Pro Fall 2020 release with A13X
(And mini-LED, as predicted) 

or 

a next release of iPad Pro in Spring 2021 with A14X?

I’m curious because I have an upgrade due this fall and, well, quarantine— I’m bored.

Well, of course the lighter, aluminum model fended off damage better than the heavier, stainless steel model— I’m no scientist, but that’s physics 101. More weight = more damage when it falls.

Great, Apple. Now do the same thing for China.
