I can easily tell the difference between my wife’s 12 mini and my 13 mini, from camera functionality alone. With all respect and gratitude to Mr Wozniak, I must presume that his criteria is purely aesthetic, with no regard for functionality at all. 

I have a car made in Japan in 2003 for the 2004 model year that does not have CarPlay have any kind but it does have a fairly decent Bose audio system from the factory and a satnav that was farmed out to a 3rd party for foreign (non-JDM) markets. That third party has only ever released one map update since the car was made, so I’d been looking for a way to add CarPlay into the pop up sat nav binnacle for a while. If this device would fit in there, and allow me to route the wiring internally, it might be a better solution than what some tuners have done of installing a tablet such as an iPad mini in that same space (a conversion I am also considering).

Following the rules and jumping through the hoops set up by legislators is not using “loopholes”. Legislators & regulators use this kind of defamatory language in order to excuse their desire to expand the scope of their power. One could easily argue that the use of the “general welfare” & “interstate commerce” clause to skirt Amendment 10 is the real loophole, and that the vast majority of regulatory and intelligence agencies owe their entire existence to such loopholes, just as Marbury v Madison exploited a loophole of assuming the three co-equal branches of the central government in the US would be adversarial; but actual practice revealed that Congress would allow the Judiciary to seize a position as sole arbiter of constitutionality because of short term opposition to the President at the time, despite the fact that Marbury v Madison has, itself, no constitutional basis. The irony of regulators whose position in an organization that owes its existence to a loophole using the term loophole to disparage private business following the law & regulations sadly goes over the heads of too many.

It seems to me that Apple focused on a more power efficient cpu for this time around, as increased battery life was stressed.

I am starting to believe that in the most cases the government only makes the situation worse. This is one of those situations. With “twin monopolies” - LOL, they have even coined a new term just to make their absurd case which hurts free market.

The US House of Representatives has a lower level of individual representation of its alleged constituents than any other comparable body in any other industrialized democracy, whether direct or limited, and has been so since 1929. This is nothing more than asserting power in order to grow power. By definition, a twin anything is not a monopoly. This isn’t the first time politicians have fabricated terms in order to frighten the ignorant and justify their violation of the takings clause. It won’t be the last.
