Sold more maybe but at less profit. It's about profits not volume.

I know, but in this case I am advocating for a more reasonable price, once the new technologies went mainstream. This might be a little bit selfish, but I am ok with that ;0)

Obviously the price of phones that contain these technologies (i.e. FaceID, OLED displays) will come down. But Apple will continue to offer a $1000+ iPhone X equivalent, because

a) It gives them a way to sell technology that isn't produced in volumes of 200 million per year
b) It made a ton a money

I put a) first because contrary to what all the douchebags said, this isn't just about making money. By restricting themselves to components that are produced in huge quantities at affordable prices, Apple was leaving it to Android to offer up the very most cutting edge features- the absolute best cameras and displays, for example. They're tired of it, and now their top phone will be the best in every respect. If you can't afford it, wait a year or two and get the mid-range model.

If the QCOM chips used in iPhones is superior to the one from Intel, then I hope the company resolves its issues with Apple sooner rather then later and returns to the fold. 

The cellphone network is rarely able to achieve the top speeds possible with existing chips, and when those tops speeds are achieved there is little need for anything faster. There is therefore not a huge rush at the moment making this an excellent time for Apple to take their time and make sure that Qualcomm's attitude is properly adjusted. Another year at Intel speeds will be just fine. 

Good. They weren't going to release it in Canada this year anyway. If I can't have it, you can't either. Exactly how it should be. Also something Apple forgets all too often- Google Apple Pay Cash or CarPlay speed limits for details.

The issue disabled iCloud is not fixed, I updated to 10.3.1 and my iCloud setting is no longer visible, it was visible yesterday when I was using 10.2.1.  Hopefully 10.3.2 will fix it.... anyone else still have this issue.  I am using a iPAD Pro 9.7

Are you looking in the right place?

Doubtful. In my experience people who write "iPAD" are typically obtuse (willfully ignorant) in the same way as people who insist on writing MAC.

Worth mentioning in all this is that Withings isn't very good to their customers. I have their body scale which came with a great iPad app that they since discontinued in a favor of their shitty all things to everyone iPhone only HealthMate app. And they still sell a Smart Kid Scale which requires a shitty old iOS 6 app to set up. That app warns under iOS 10.3 and likely won't work on iOS 11 leaving users unable to access their brand new 2017 scale. This isn't the Apple experience at all.
