Regarding ports, it is doable to make a thin laptop with all the ports. Apple could learn from this if they wanted to go this route.

See photo: (This is VAIO's SX12 laptop)

List of ports (I/O)

Three USB-A ports

One USB-C for charging

HDMI

Full-size SD card slot

Headphone/mic port

Ethernet port,

and lastly VGA

You have got to be kidding.  Apple's design is simple and elegant, not to mention the eventual direction ALL computer makers will go.

VGA... I almost sprayed my coffee out of my nose when I read that.

You show that to Tim Cook and I will wait for a ruler slap.

Seriously, the idea of TB3 is to cut clutter like this. I would never use 7 out of 8 ports listed here, there goes 7 ports rendered useless and I still have to buy an extension with multiple USB ports so that I can use 3 of my USB devices plus charging into the only one USB-C available. What a nightmare!

I’d definitely recommend a person who buys a new iPhone or iPad to sign up for the free trial period of one year, however the Apple TV app itself is not very good. This is especially true for anyone who likes to download their movies or shows to watch later with no Internet connection. The app absolutely sucks for this use case.

Each episodes has a download button underneath for offline viewing.

are the hermes watch faces what makes this apple watch version more expensive?

It's the Hermes leather band that makes it expensive.

In case you are not familiar with Hermes: https://www.hermes.com/au/en/

It's a brand that can't afford to be cheap, and 99% of people are not even in their target market. Just a small fact: their bag strap (not the bag, just the strap) alone costs $2,590.

You don't have to be a real estate agent to appreciate the wide angle, they are useful in many circumstances. Besides you still can use telephoto lens (52mm equivalent) for 'zoom in' with 11 Pro. Since we are more likely comparing 11 to XR (which what it replaces with), the 11 has a dual rear camera setup. It adds an ultra-wide-angle camera lens to the iPhone XR’s wide-angle lens. The upgrade has a 12MP resolution, 13mm focal length, f/2.4 aperture and a five-element lens. Additionally, the iPhone 11’s wide-angle sensor has 12MP resolution, 26mm focal length, f/1.l8 aperture width and a six-element lens. The wide-angle lens is the same that’s present on the iPhone XR, but the iPhone 11 improves in some areas. The biggest upgrade on the smartphone will come through a new feature dubbed as Deep Fusion. Deep Fusion makes the iPhone 11’s A13 chip analyze 24 million pixels in one second and optimize the resulting photograph for noise, texture, color accuracy and other photographic parameters. It’s also possible that the iPhone 11’s wide-angle sensor supports more focus pixels, but unless a sensor teardown takes place, this can not be confirmed.

Correction: They are lining up to pick up, not to buy. All of them have purchased online, and rather than waiting for delivery who knows when, they go to store first thing to get the shiny.
