Steve whiffed on this analogy - in 2017 the top 3 selling vehicles are pick-up trucks.

YOU whiffed on your analogy; if the three top-selling vehicles are pickup trucks, does that mean most people drive pickup trucks? Nope. Not even close. It means that those three models sell more individual items than any other vehicle models. It may or may not mean that all other vehicle models outsell those three by a large margin.

Pretty absurd.

What people should really be complaining about is that it's sophisticated enough to search for "brassieres", yet Apple cant bother to include the ability to search for memes. Almost everyone that uses the internet saves memes to their phone. How can Apple not include this capability? 

"Almost everyone"? I know people who share these stupid things with other people, but I don't know of ANYONE who saves memes to their phone.

If Fusion Drives will "eventually" be supported, should I assume that normal, non-Fusion, spinning drives will never be supported by APFS? (Specifically, all the external hard drives I have connected to my 2017 iMac.)

Isn't this better than having the government dictate what we should do? Isn't this how a free market economy is supposed to work? Why does everyone insist that the government step in and "fix" everything when government can't ever seem to get anything right to begin with? If combatting climate change is a good business decision, then businesses will step up and do what needs to be done, not because it's the right thing to do, but because it makes them (or saves them) money. If this is a bad business decision, then no amount of government regulation will persuade businesses to change their ways because the regulations will always have some unforeseen loophole that will be exploited by unscrupulous companies. And if you think Apple is above that kind of response, witness their avoidance of paying US taxes by keeping billions of dollars overseas. Many people would say this isn't fair, but it's a good business decision on Apple's part. Tim Cook et al. believe that following the provisions of the Paris accord is good for the bottom line, either through goodwill or increased sales/decreased costs. If the CEOs of these companies truly thought that their companies would go out of business by doing this, they wouldn't do it. It's that simple.

Added one of these to my new iMac order today. I like my current wireless keyboard, but have wanted Apple to add a numeric keypad to the Bluetooth KBs for a while.
