Drives me nuts when the front-facing camera flips the image around. Which camera had it correct? They are opposite each other.

Looking at the portrait photos, the guy appears to be right-handed. Therefore I’d assume the iPhone selfie is not flipped.

I just compared a Xs Max 512GB $1449 to a Note 9 512GB $1249, Apple’s premium is 16%. For that you get premium material (all glass, stainless steel), superior security, processor, screen among others. Noting that Samsung supply themselves with the display so it costs them less. Why doesn’t Samsung get some of this criticism?

Makes sense if they want to continue marketing it as a computer.

These “sensitivities” and “political correctness” are getting ridiculous. Who cares if your skin tone isn’t exactly, we don’t need 50 shades of black and countless hair colors.
The Touch Bar on the MacBook Pro is well implemented, but serves no useful purpose

The touch bar is worse than useless - it took away the real functionality and feedback of physical keys. I hit that stupid Siri button by accident all the time, and what I wouldn't give for a proper escape key! The whole keyboard on the 2016 and newer Macbooks was a huge step backward from the feel and function of the previous generation. After living with it for 8 months, I still hate typing on my 15" 2016 Macbook Pro compared to my 2011 MacBook Air. The feedback was so much better on the older keyboard.

In keyboard settings you can customize the control strip and remove the Siri button. Once in that setting move the cursor down past the screen and you'll be able to select things in the strip and drag them up and out of the strip.
