Late to the party.  

You mean like Apple was to the cell phone party?

Apple was pretty early to the iPhone party but if you must move the goalposts…

”Apple didn’t invent the cell phone! lol!”
”Apple didn’t invent the computer! lol”
“Apple didn’t invent the letter ‘i’! lol”
”Apple didn’t invent the rectangle! lol!”
”Apple didn’t invent the watch! lol!”
”Apple didn’t invent the computer chip! lol”


…but somehow everyone else is exempt from these goalposts.

There is nothing wrong with being late to the party if what you are bringing is a game changer. That's what Apple is known for. Not being a leader but taking tech and improving it and making what was often rough and ready... usable.

Apple never went to the cell phone party.  
They started the smartphone party where everyone finally realized what a smartphone really was.

I think all you guys missed the point @sfocal was making.

If you are an avid reader of comics and graphic novels, then the Kindle is not an option at all. Unless you are into Manga or just want to read Maus or From Hell again and again. 

I really miss the touch bar and I found it a lot more useful than the function keys. Had the touch bar been included in this MBP, it would have been the perfect machine.

It should be noted that firms like Strategy Analytics do not have insight into Apple's supply or retail chains and provide estimates based on independent research. The methodology, and more importantly results, of market research firms have been brought into question in the past, with Apple executives dismissing the data as largely incorrect.

But hey, that doesn't disqualify it from being an AI article.

I seem to pick up on a certain disdain you have for AI. Any specific reason? This isn't the first time you've dissed the site or the staff.

I have opted for the annual subscription for Apple TV+.

After 2 years:
Show I thought I'd enjoy and ended up really loving: Mythic Quest.
Show I thought I'd enjoy but didn't finish watching: Dickenson
Show I didn't think I'd watch after episode 1, but now watch religiously: The Morning Show
Show I'm hoping for a second season: Tehran
Shows I'm currently watching: Foundation and Acapulco
Show I watched more than once: Ted Lasso

All in all, there is quite a lot of TV for someone like me who doesn't watch too much TV. I am happy with my subscription.
