    I don't know why Apple would leave the MacBook Air in their lineup still. The only thing I can think of is they want a sub $1,000 Mac laptop and they can't get the price point of the 12" MacBook down to that yet. I still think the days of the MacBook Air are limited though.
    Give it retina screen, up-to-date processor, change one of the USB's to a USB-C and I'll buy it six ways to Sunday over the "new pink book" toy with its awful KB and limited hookups unless attached to a fugly splitter of some sort.   And pay an extra hundred for that.

    It's going to hilarious when there's no "iPhone 8" released. Because why would they, it breaks all the naming/release norms they've established. 
    This will eventually have to come to an end. Otherwise in a few years we'll have people saying "I have the iPhone 13", or "When is the iPhone 13s coming out?" I think it will eventually just be renamed back to simply iPhone. They can't keep doing the number thing with an S revision the year after. It doesn't make any sense. 
    Maybe they could name the new models after, oh I dunno, big cats or something.... ;)  ...or seriously a series of somethings...??  

    And I guess it's too soon after the retirement of OS X for an iPhone X...

    I don't enjoy being the skunk at the perfume party, but among all the technorati, who are supposedly among the most scientifically literate segment of the population, when this (wireless charging) is brought up, the inefficiency of the process (i.e., all the generated electricity just pissed out into the "ether") is seldom if ever mentioned.  

    You might say we're only talking about a few thousand milliamps, but take that times 2 or 3 billion devices mostly charged everyday, and hello more global climate change.

    I will stick with wired charging for as long as it's available.

    OK, you may now return to your wish-listing as Gaia weeps.....
