Apple Arcade needs to have solid versions of classic board games like Scrabble (the new version from Hasbro sucks), Othello/Reversi, Backgammon, Chinese Checkers , Risk and such with GameCenter support for online play. Big Bang used to have a set of board games for the Mac with beautiful graphics and gameplay. Casual gaming is a huge market that is mostly ad supported crap these days.

It would also be nice to see modern (not retro) graphics versions of many old classic arcade and console games. There is a ton of IP out there just crying out to be ported to Apple’s platforms and updated. With the cash pile Apple has available, this should not be a problem and a lot of the IP could probably be bought inexpensively.

If the DoJ wants a monopoly to break up, they can start with Google and YouTube.

It will be interesting to watch this play out and the deal is not done by a long shot.

ARM is a British company and the UK is still trying to sort out Brexit. Also, NVIDIA only promised to keep the HQ of ARM in the UK for one year- expect that to be a problem for the approval of the UK government. 

And Apple has made no public comment to my knowledge. They might very well have a problem with the deal and may try to spike it. And I do not think Apple is ready to abandon ARM reference designs as the basis for the A series chips that run every iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and soon many Macintoshes.

As a Tile user this is what I will be looking for:

1- White plastic- no go.
2- No replaceable battery - no go.
3- No slim tracker for a wallet - no go.

Me too features are not going to get me to switch from Tile.

I never have used one of these and have never seen a video demonstrating how they work and what they actually do. I have one sitting in a drawer sent to me by Ars for a subscription premium.
So what is the advantage for the penalty of having this dongle hanging off your device?
