I went to an iPhone SE from an iPhone 6 (not 6s); having used 3D Touch on friends devices and being a fan of shortcuts (when computing), that's one feature I really wish had been brought to the SE.

Here's to hoping there is a new 4" device with the feature if not this Fall, maybe in the Spring!

My next door neighbor has some Netgear stuff that outperforms the latest AE by miles. I can see his 5GHz network from 100 miles away, but I have to be within 2.3 inches of my AE to see my 5Ghz network. Let me re-emphasize that he's my next door neighbor, so interference from microwaves or cordless phones can be factored out, so please take that into consideration before defending the AE's putrid performance. But, hey, my router's industrial design is much better than his.

100 miles (which we know isn't at all the case) vs. 2.3 inches?

it would really be helpful to provide (even near) actual range distances and even possibly the models.

Just saying...

I was just wondering what was going on (on both my phone and Mac) - multiple requests to sign into iCloud account etc.

I had recently uninstalled Creative Cloud and Illustrator; went with a different, but capable (and cheap) enough (for my needs) vector graphics software. Was going to try this, but it requires Creative Cloud be installed again.
 
For me, I'll just have to read the reviews (and check out the screen shots)...

Always funny to watch brand loyalists drop $3000-$5000 on Apple junk when they can buy a god-like computer with Windows for $1500.00.. 

Proves Apple fans generally lack technical knowledge and consumer savvy, and are mostly brand loyalists.

And your comments on an Apple related website proves how much of a moronic troll you are.

His/her first two posts at that. He maybe right/correct though; I come across a *good amount* of 'fans' who don't have the technical knowledge, but then again, isn't that why Apple's products have been successfully? Because we live in a world, currently anyway, where a good amount of people aren't technical. What I disagree with though, is as you become technical, and if (IMO) you're truly objective and don't have a (currently) niche requirement, you see the 'value' of what Apple offers. That's why after 12+ years of building my own PC's with friends, I bought a retina MBP in 2012 and I'm on schedule to not replace it for probably another 2/3 years, at least. That's also why, I read and enjoy the details of what apple as done in their iOS security guides. To each their own - some like the color green, some like the color blue. We can (and should) all learn to get along with out the hate/vitriol...

Still, after 2 comments, @handen2015, it seems pretty clear where you're coming from.

Shouldn't the biggest, richest, whatever, computer company build computers for everybody ? I don't understand comments in favor of ignoring those who want a decent GPU. At least give the option so that people have a CHOICE ! What's the use of making razor-thin iMacs ? Should i look at my screen from the side ? Thats just a useless, insane objective. Apple has been selling 3rd grade, which are also two or three year old components, while charging a premium. All is fair right ? Remember the Mac Mini ? Why is it intentionally crippled on the GPU side ? Why am i not ALOWED to buy me a Mac Mini which is AT LEAST an iMac without a screen ? And why is Apple not selling computers in a tier between the Mac Pro and the Mini (without a screen) ? Is that because Apple won't sell as many units of it as the iPhone ? I am a lifetime Apple-user but this intentionally crippling Macs with a silly cheap a$$ GPU makes me mad, seriously mad. If i want to enjoy a few ours a week of WOW or any other stupid game, let me be stupid for an hour a week. Give me the freakin choice to do so !

You do have a choice - just don't buy Apple? And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Buy Alienware, or build your own (as I used to). Apple (apparently) couldn't care less, currently, anyway about that market. If/when things change, you'll see Apples stance change, no? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
