the macOS Sequoia Passwords app is one of the best features coming to Sequoia. Hopefully it won't be to buggy by the fall. Ay least I can then get rid of my iPassword app and subscription.

I've used 1Password for a decade and have been looking at macOS' forward progress for a few years now to get rid of that subscription as well. Their last revisions are going backwards and less useful, especially since they've introduced their useless 'Suggestions' and insist on defaulting to it. I used to get to my bank account with only 2 clicks but it gradually takes more and more with every revision and now it takes 7 clicks. The dropdown in Safari is no longer resizable, the passwords of many websites are no longer filed in, etc.

Looking forward to seeing my Health data on iPad.

Indeed, been looking forward for that for a few years, as well as on Mac but I guess those with Apple silicon Macs are in luck.

Not quite apparently, not just Ukraine according to Vladolf Putler :

Not everything he designed was a winner.

Nobody said everything was and most of the failed designs were quickly removed/replaced. Ive's designs vastly improved personal devices for over 3 billion people. That alone is worth a lifetime achievement award. Without Ive's designs for Macs and mobile devices over the years, there might never have been any kind of interest in Apple products that would lead to forums of people talking (and complaining) about them.

Yes unfortunately there will always be the complainers, who will jump straight to the odd missteps while bypassing a lifetime of great accomplishments.

Apple's 2022 MacBook Pros may pack new M2 Pro and M2 Max chipsets made with TSMC's latest 3nm manufacturing process, according to a new report.

TSMC, the world's largest semiconductor contract manufacturer, has been steadily building out its 3nm production processes. According to the Commercial Times, Apple could be the first customer to get its hands on those chips.

The report notes that Apple will use 3nm wafers for the first time in the second half of 2022, likely for its M2 Pro chipsets. Future releases built on the 3nm process could include the iPhone-specific A17 chipset, as well as a future third-generation of the M series.

Commercial Times also separately reported that TSMC will begin mass production of its 3nm wafers in September. The report adds that initial yield will be higher than when TSMC switched to 5nm processes.

Compared to previous chipmaking processes, semiconductors made using the 3nm process could bring increased power efficiency and performance to Apple's devices.

2 mentions of process, then wafer, back to process, then wafer and back to process = 4 mentions of process including title versus 2 wafers.

3nm  is not a wafer. It is a process. TSMC is able to ramp up its process technology to firmly keep Apple in its camp as well as numerous other chip design companies. 

Technically, of course the expression "3nm" is indeed a process. In any event "3nm" is unfortunately just a marketing expression anyway.

I can only assume that AI being well aware that it is a [manufacturing, production] process applied to [chipsets, releases, semiconductors].
I can only assume that AI assumed they could safely use the single word wafer shorthand rather than more multi-worded expressions, assuming that most readers here would not confuse the issue. So … no biggie.

There is no industry-wide agreement about defining a 3 nm node either (emphasis mine) :

The term "3 nanometer" has no relation to any actual physical feature (such as gate length, metal pitch or gate pitch) of the transistors. According to the projections contained in the 2021 update of the International Roadmap for Devices and Systems published by IEEE Standards Association Industry Connection, a 3 nm node is expected to have a contacted gate pitch of 48 nanometers and a tightest metal pitch of 24 nanometers. However, in real world commercial practice, "3 nm" is used primarily as a marketing term by individual microchip manufacturers to refer to a new, improved generation of silicon semiconductor chips in terms of increased transistor density (i.e. a higher degree of miniaturization), increased speed and reduced power consumption.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_nm_process

It's just a number they use relative to their previous process to indicate some reduction in node geometry of different transistor technologies.
Full disclosure I didn't know that either before looking it up now and am a bit disappointed, I thought it actually meant an actual size.
