I watched part of this, and heard some of the questions directed at each of the CEOs; I kept thinking to myself, you expect them to know this on the spot? Some obscure detail?  Did any of these CEOs have a chance to review the questions beforehand so they could provide knowledgeable answers?

I get the sense this is a witch hunt and they are purposefully picking obscure and/or unrelated details to ask about to catch them unaware/off guard without a chance to give an appropriate answer.

Try the same search in Google Chrome, "what company sold the most laptops this year" and you'll get far better results rather than sales offers, at least as the top results. Bing, the provider behind DDG, seems to be on a big marketing/ad binge at the moment and perhaps that's why you got what you did. 

thanks for the reply,
 I read an article recently I think in PC Mag that stated HP sold 24% of the laptops this year. The article was about how work at home increased sales in the laptop market. I still cant believe HP was top, they do not make a good laptop, cheap perhaps. but they doubled Dell's sales this year.
i searched that key phrase in google.com and received the same info as ducksgo.

Odd. I searched it using that exact phrase  a few moments ago and the first result, the "one in the box", is this one
https://fortunly.com/blog/lap-top-market-share/#:~:text=Lenovo%20and%20HP%20hold%20the,a%20market%20share%20of%2022.5%25.

In fact on the entire first page, 10 different results, not one single link to an offer to sell ie a computer company's sales site. Every one of them what I would consider an educational/informative link.

Odd, I just did the same test, and achieved the same result as mtlion2020.

Diversity for the sake of being diverse misses the point.  It’s a check box for PR.  I’ve got no qualms with anybody, I see no races, rather there is one race, the human race.  Shooting for diversity and ruling out certain candidates just to achieve certain numbers is discriminatory.  Hire people who can do the job or learn on the job, plain and simple.  Accept the students who are driven to learn and want a good education.

The one exemption I’d give to this is religious organizations... it doesn’t make sense to hire someone who doesn’t align with their beliefs.

The side button on the current line up is in the most inconvenient place. Steve Jobs has it designed in the most ideal place, too right of the phone

Looks like a killer lineup!

Apple has basically everything covered!

From the very affordable iPhone SE to these 4 new iPhone 12 and 12 Pro models coming later this year!

There is something there for every need and every budget!

And if anybody thinks that the lineup is too complicated, then allow me to suggest that their comprehension and understanding is too limited. This lineup is very simple and easy to understand.

They do not have everything covered, if this rumor pans out.  I want a 5.4” pro, which is lacking in this line up.  Could care less about 5G, but want the better cameras in a smaller phone.

I can imagine a simpler line up:
5.4”, 6.1”, 6.7”... all the same hardware wise except for screen size, battery size, color, and price.

So 5.4/6.1/6.7 for $899/999/1,099 but no mid-tier lineup around $700?  No thanks. 

What a disaster that would be... a choice between only $1,000 models or an SE? Yikes.

On the contrary, the midrange iPhone 12 lineup is going to be a huge hit, like the XR and 11 before it. 5G, OLED, FaceID and A14/4GB for $649 with a 5.4” display and it’s physically smaller than the SE? Many will choose it over the SE. 

Apple had traditionally kept the previous phones and offered them at a discount.  This would meet your demands for a “mid” tier.  Really dislike this “pro” monicker.  Apple has been about the premium market, as that is where the high margins are.  You want the latest and greatest?  You gotta fork it out for the newest, otherwise, for those who don’t want/need it, they get last years model.  Which with how good these phones are designed, that’s not a bad choice.

i was skeptical of transitioning from 4S to 5S, But after trying a friends, it felt great.  I was skeptical again going from 5S to 7 (the reason I skipped the 6’s), but I thought hey, the last size transition went Ok, so why not?  I have had hand fatigue and hurt ever since, and regretted it. I’ve been on the 7 since, and plan to be for the foreseeable future until Apple releases a “pro” 5.4 inch iPhone.  I will probably be waiting a very long time, unfortunately, but at least I’m voting with my wallet.  I’m pretty sure this 7 is going to die before something like that is released.
