but mentally can't make peace on buying something ~ 700 days old.  An iMac update just seems imminent.  

For the AAPL folks listening: same here.

I have pretty much given up on Apple laptops and recently purchased a Surface Pro as a “real computer” companion to my iPad Pro 12.9.

My bet is that the mainstream laptop market is or will soon be a shrinking ice cube. The new iPad Pro and iOS still are not a replacement for a laptop, but are getting closer. I really think Apple is missing an opportunity by not making a Surface like device that has full file access based on either Mac OS or iOS.

It is still early days with the Surface Pro, but there is a lot to like. My i5 Surface Pro (6) cost less than my iPad Pro- quite a bit less. The power adapter set up is sucky, but the unit is very nice and boots faster than any Mac or iPad I have seen.

OK, OK, but... why did you write everything in bold?

Ridiculous. But I somewhat like the crisp contrast between the ugly piece of paper coming from the court and the beauty of Apple's website. 

Not true IMHO. Again, it's the software that sells the hardware, not vice versa. 
In my family we have four iPhones, many Macs, tv, iPads. Half of them are 4+ years old and we are happy with that.
We are still spending a lot in services – Music, Movies, software. And we will update our devices as soon as the availability – or the smoothness – of the services will require it. 

Really loved it. So sweet. So true. Of course it pretends attention as the story evolves slowly. One of the best Apple Christmas videos in my opinion.
