What happens to iMac if the power cable is accidentally pulled out? Does the battery provide enough backup to instantly power down safely without losing data? 

Why would it be different than the current Intel iMac's?

I just wish that Apple was more like Google and Amazon in trying to improve all of their voice assistants. I get trying to maintain privacy, but there has to be a middle ground that would still allow Apple to improve its backend models. The thing I like about Google search is that it remembers what I've done in the past. It knows where I've gone via google maps, and which restaurants I like to go to, so it gives me heads up on new restaurants that are opening that I might like. It knows what websites I've bought stuff from, so it knows new things to recommend to me. If Apple was willing to use the data it had about its users in this way, do you have any idea how much more useful their products would be? And to babe able to have a more natural conversation with Siri? I mean, there's a reason I don't remember the last time I even wanted to use Siri for anything more than "set a timer" or "when's sunset?" Siri could be SO much better

How are they releasing stuff that doesn’t work with such wide beta testing and relatively few different devices/configurations (compared say with Android)?

Is not allowing Apps to track users by default really “not working”?

It's not working as advertised, so yes. 

I really do hope that they do have one more Intel versions of all the computers (at least the 16" MacBook, iMac, and MacPro), because I still do use Windows on my 15" MBP, and I'm not willing to give up duel boot yet, at least not until we can use the ARM version of Windows. At least with the Mac Pro, something I could see them doing would be maybe including an Intel chip, AND an Apple Silicon chip, so that pros can run both Intel and ARM apps at the same time with no performance hit. But, that's probably just a pipe dream. I know that I'm not willing to give up my intel Mac yet, not until the ARM chips have a few more generations under their belt. And my 2017 model is not going to last forever. But, it will probably still last a while. My 2009 MBP lasted until 2017, so that was a really good run. 

My question is, why did it take them almost 8 years to sue? Shouldn't they of sued back in 2013 or 14? There should be a requirement that lawsuits of this type have to be brought with a certain amount of time- say, 5 years or something.
