Very nice upgrades to storage, processor and connection speed! Now if only I had a use case for this...

I’m a psychologist and the mini I use to make notes while I talk (and listen) to my clients. It’s unobtrusive and very handy for this purpose. My use case.

Way too confusing and complicated!

Actually it’s not. It’s an easy, understandable set of steps. And the Dortana software is so evolved you practically cannot do things wrong. My MacBook 12” which I take with me on holidays as it is very light (why Apple stopped making those is beyond my understanding), takes its time, sure, to start up and run. But after the wait, hey, I’m on holiday, it miraculously works without any problem. Doing this is soooo rewarding!

Same here iPhone 14 Pro 

Hopefully some European testers will check out 18.1 to see how bad it will be.

"Engineers endure 12-hour workdays and often work weekends as well."

There's a reason manufacturing of semiconductors and other goods have moved to Asia. There are way more engineers available in Asia; these are needed in large numbers to run a modern factory. Engineers in Asia work longer hours without complaint, so no surprise TSMC is finding American engineers difficult to work with. 

A few years ago I saw the documentary ‘American Factory’ about a Chinese organization trying to start a car glass factory in America. Without judgement the filmmakers showed the huge culture clash that happened. Beautiful movie, and the unavoidable  bafflement from both sides carefully shown. Can’t help thinking this is the same dynamics.
