This is a practically useful article, that I will apply when my 11" w/pencil arrives Monday (if the tracking claims are correct). The pdf apps look particularly applicable to what I do.

If the RAM increase is limited to the 1TB model, that's probably the only thing that would qualify as a disappointment to me with these iPad Pros.

Just ordered a 64 GB. It is $1,150 with Apple Care and the Pencil 2 and tax. That is a lot of $, and it would be nice to have the 6GB of RAM.  We currently have an iPad Air 2. That has only 1 GB of RAM, according to everymac.com.  The Air 2 still works fine, actually. So I am not too concerned about the RAM not being sufficient.

Please, for the love of God - let the new Mac Mini's allow users to add RAM and internal drives.

Soldering down the RAM, means that I'll continue using my 2012 Mac Mini's with 16 GB RAM, and my homemade Fusion Drive.  I will not buy a hamstrung Mac Mini, I will find myself FORCED to go back to Windows (and I don't want to do that).

Linux or whatever but not Windows. I am using Windows 10. First, the search utility is horrible. Things that would pop up immediately on a Mac take up to an hour to find.  Second, it forces updates on you, and then the updates have flaws and need to be updated (this has happened 2x recently check the news). One of the updates broke the ability to change the display brightness from the keyboard, and they still have not fixed that. Another update broke my ability to play DVDs but I fixed that manually (20 minutes of my time). The updates will close your programs and then there is the possibility that you will lose some work. If you download a file from e-mail, work on it, then save it, it can be saved to some totally bizarre location and it will not show up on the find file. The only way to get it is through "Quick Access" but I didn't know about that for several months and also if enough time passes since you saved it, it will not show up in Quick Access. Basically, Find File only seems to work if you are searching in the right folder. Also if you don't type in the name the way Windows likes, the file won't come up even though it IS there. Bottom line is I find myself fighting my computer to get work done. On the plus side, memory management is excellent.

Picked up (2) iPhone XS’ yesterday from Apple Store in Roseville, CA where a city police officer was positioned off to the side upon entering store.  Wouldn’t surprise me if we see more officers in stores.  I’ve read a number of posts claiming Apple wouldn’t have them because of possible damage to image.  I didn’t mind the officer there, and I certainly don’t believe it would cause image issues for Apple.

Problem is I don't think one officer can handle a shoplifting gang alone.

Don't they have more customers than they did two years ago? Have the other US carriers said anything?

must...find reasons...to disparage. fear. uncertainty. doubt. 

I'm convinced that rogifan is an elaborate bot, containing an algorithm that concern-trolls both good news and bad news. It's the only plausible explanation, as I see no way a sane human being can do this day-in and day-out, no matter the facts, context, and subject matter. 

You think that a person who spends as much time on this online forum as rogifan is sane?
