I went to work in Sacramento this summer for a couple of months. And the memory of that time that I tell everyone is that it was the first time in my life that I went to a McDonalds with two guards standing out front. I was new to the city so I just wanted something familiar near by where I wouldn’t need to drive. Scariest McDonalds ever.

No, the scariest ones are the ones that do not have the guards!

Apple’s response to these thieves has been bizarrely slow, which is weird because the safety of other customers, not just lost merchandise, has also been at risk during these hits. They should’ve aggressively acted to protect customers first. In high crime areas, customers should be individually greeted by a friendly armed guard wearing a body camera recording system at the door.

I am surprized Apple did not invite them to just take more stuff. Those pesky shareholders might get upset, tho...

Kuo writes the move to the 7-nanometer Kirin 980 helps Huawei narrow the gap between itself and Apple "in terms of user experience," as well as differentiating its products from other Android-based smartphone vendors. 

How can it help them "narrow the gap" when they're still relying on an inferior operating system and App ecosystem?

In theory, Google will have the same advantage, given time, but I'm not sure they can exploit it and keep Android OS nominally "open".

From its inception, Android was only a response to an already existing iOS and iPhone. Google got it wrong from the start (and had to quickly and hectically correct mistake after that first Jobs presentation) and they continue getting it wrong every time and still need Apple’s “inspiration” to stay on the path. And that is for one simple reason - they do not have a coherent vision/plan....just like good old Sammy,

iOS wasn't even a rumor much less "a thing" when Google began developing Android as a smartphone OS. 

Is that why Google completely missed the mark and had to start from scratch after Apple presented the  iPhone 1?
My bet is Google got someone at Apple to leak a bit of info on what Apple was doing. It wasnt a lot of info, as Apple was very secretive (for a good reason), so Google eng team had to invent a lot of things and they did....and missed the boat.

Other than being destroyed by someone, this is one iPhone that should last for many, many years.

Unlikely. Given the way the tombstone and that fence look comparing to everything that is located next to it, this was a daughter of some moderately important person. Destroying that thing with a hammer might prove VERY unhealthy to whoever decides to try it.
