Wish I didn't buy my son's Macbook air few months back. No brainer if you are in market for new Maxbook.

Why did you buy it then? That was after the WWDC announcement. You knew this would happen. 

How can a sofa refresh watch bands? And how is it physically possible to make something the ghastly?

Yes. The reason why Apple is doing an iPhone Pro/iPhone X along-side an iPhone 7s this year is pretty obvious. They want to build a next-gen phone with OLED screen and no home-button, but there aren't enough high quality OLED screens in the world to saturate Apple's supply chain. So they are forced to bifurcate the line, at least for the time being, until OLED production increases. Maybe down the line in a few years, Apple can they combine them back again.

And so it begins.

This is both fascinating in terms of hardware and UI design. It's very difficult to achieve a no bezels design.

Think of it for a moment: You have the Home button, you have the earpiece, you have the light sensor and proximity sensor as well as the front facing camera. Each one of these is incredibly hard to almost impossible to embed within the display itself. 

Almost as fascinating is the UI. Without a dedicated 'Home' button, how will users exit apps? Using multi-finger gestures? Maybe using an on-screen Home button equivalent? Placing the Home button on the side of the device?

I'm very curious about how they will solve all these issues. Amazing if they can pull it off.
