Does this battery issue apply to iPads too? Surely it does.

Much less since the iPad battery is much bigger. It was explained here at AI by Mike Wuerthele. 
This also explains why Samsung’s phablets along with throttling from the get go don’t necessarily suffer from the same problems at the same rate. This isn’t some magical technology that only Samsung uses. 

For those of you longing for Steve’s days while blasting today’s MB, remember what he stood for, minimalism and simplicity. 
This is what the MB represents even with its one port. A port that serves multiple purposes, something that MagSafe doesn’t. 
I understand that today’s MB may not be a product for you, however this does not mean it’s useless for everyone. 
Think of it as for those needing the simplicity of an iPad but in a Mac OS form factor.

I’ve really been waiting to see what great things AR will provide. Dropping furniture in a park will be so handy!

It’s funny how many of you latch on to one use case to scrap an entire product. 
I haven’t seen it yet but I read somewhere that IKEA has an app where you can try out furniture inside your own house to see how they fit before actually going to the store to buy it. 
Or an online reading glasses retailer now has a special app for iPhone X to place the glasses on your face before you order them. 
Very useful cases, depending on how they work, of AR. 

Citizen's rights be damned. We only want to snoop into your private life whenever we see fit. 

Yep! Good for Apple for standing up to this BS. 

We’ve seen many opinions flow on the web about this case with a wide array of opinions.
In the end, just like the e-book case it’s the lawyers who will come out as the winners.
In an older John Gruber podcast, I believe he mentioned that he was mailed $5 compensation for having purchased books from iBooks. He was having a good laugh.

If any of these cases are won by the vultures/lawyers, I wonder how much the common folk will get back? I doubt it’s going to be anywhere near the price of an iPhone, even a used one.
