Maybe all those graphics are a hint they will release an Apple Paint Brush to join the Apple Pencil.

Apple repair policy critic vows to fight 'counterfeit' battery seizure by U.S. customs
If they were original batteries why did Customs think they were knock-offs?
And if they aren't knock-offs then surely that can be quickly proved with serial numbers or something, why would a $50,000 legal battle be needed?

Apple issues invites to October 30 iPad Pro and Mac 'There's more in the making' event in ...

Sadly we we still have zero rumors about any Mac Mini replacement. Im really hoping for an ARM based device and a much much lower intro cost. Apple needs to bring the cost of the base Mini way down to the $250 to $300 dollar range and they can only do that with an ARM powered device.New Mac features typically debut in the Macbook Pro. It had the first Retina display, first super-fast SSD, first "T" chip. And it gets a major redesign every 4 years so I'm thinking we will see an ARM Macbook Pro in 2020, and that lines up with Ming-Chi Kuo's timeline for an ARM Mac too.Buuutttt, if Apple is shifting the Mac to ARM they will have to release an ARM dev box maybe 1 year before that to give devs a chance to adapt. So maybe the Mac Mini will be recast from the low-cost Mac to an dev-centric device and will be the first to get ARM.Because if you made it dev-centric, then even though it was lower end in spec, it could still run Xcode faster than a higher end box, because the iOS emulator could run natively.

Huawei HiSilicon Kirin 980 more than a year behind Apple's A12 Bionic in performance
I want to see how well the A12 performs in a laptop form factor, where it can be paired with a big copper heatsink and a fan.

ARM processor for Macs coming in 2020 or 2021, Apple car in 2023 says Ming-Chi Kuo
I wish Apple would be a bit more aggressive about moving the Mac to ARM. I have been through processor transitions with Apple before and they were not painful.
Perhaps they are waiting until the ARM processors are fast enough not just to run desktop apps (which they probably already are) but also to run a Rosetta style Intel emulator.
