This would definitely look dramatic, like the monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey, if I couldn't see the rather generic room reflected on the Mac Pro!
On my list this year is a new MBP, probably a new iPad if it gets some dramatic overhaul and the next iPhone, of course!

Can anyone make out the shirt or have any better tools than Preview to adjust the image to a more normal view?

Looks like one of them Denver Broncos footy-ball shirts to me.

Just finished reading the letter, and the linked info about Lithium-Ion batteries and how things work, and I think Apple handled that beautifully.

I agree to a point. Yes. Apple did the right thing here, but I feel they missed an opportunity about a year ago. This update that will let you know the health of the battery should have happened with the changes in iOS 10.2.1. Had they done this at that time, all of this wouldn't be as big of a deal now (which is it shouldn't be anyway) and they wouldn't have to had lower the battery replacement charge. Hindsight, right?

I suspect this is intentional. Amazon wants people to buy Fire devices for Christmas. Afterwards the “bug” will suddenly be fixed.

I recommend voting with your feet and buying a Roku instead.

The infighting between Apple, Amazon and Google is disgusting and anti-consumer.

Apple’s “walled garden” sometimes gets out of had, but Amazon and Google are worse (lately).

I don't understand this. You end saying that Amazon is worse (lately) than Apple, but say we should buy a Roku instead. This only punishes Apple as you would still be using Prime Video.
