RIP MagSafe.

What to expect from Apple's October 30 iPad Pro, Pencil and Mac event
A model sorely lacking in the current lineup is a reasonably priced 15" laptop. Want a 15" Mac laptop right now? It's only available in the MBP w/TB and that'll be at least $2399 US (ignoring sale items, refurbished, etc.).

Early iPhone XR reviews praise performance & battery life
Optical zoom does not require two cameras. There's this technology invented a long time ago that allows devices to optically zoom without electricity or digital image sensors. They are called movable lenses. They aren't practical for putting into a svelte iPhone however.jbdragon said:
Optical Zoom requires 2 camera's. It's really only a 2x optical Zoom as there's only 2 camera's and 2 fixed lenses. You drop 1 camera and now the 2x optical zoom is gone. You still have Digital Zoom, though it's not really recommended to use as you lose detail and start to see pixels the more you zoom in that way. Better to physically walk forward or back to get the shot you want, so long as you don't do something dumb like walk off a cliff.daveinpublic said:Phone looks great, but saddened that they didn't put the optical zoom on it. It's being sold for $749, so it's the cheap version now, even though it's priced higher than the highest end iPhone 2 years ago, 3 years ago, etc. which all had optical zoom.

The iPhone 8 Plus started at $799 and the 256GB 8 was $849. https://9to5mac.com/2016/09/07/apple-announces-iphone-7-pricing-availability-pre-orders-start-sept-9-available-sept-16/daveinpublic said:Phone looks great, but saddened that they didn't put the optical zoom on it.

Chinese consumer group demands Apple compensate stolen Apple ID owners
Having Apple pay for people being victims of phishing would be like banks repaying those victimized by Nigerian 419 scams.
