The Fold seems to be the definition of an epic product failure.  Compared to that, Apple's withdrawal of its wireless charger is quite tame.

"...unnamed sources of Bloomberg claim ..."

Are these the same unnamed sources at Bloomberg that claimed the presence of sinister asian spy hardware on chips?  Show me the goods, or you have no credibility.

"The study challenges prior research linking usage differences mostly to culture, values, and lifestyle". Well, speaking as an older adult (age 77), I'd like to point out that many older people DO live in a different culture, have different values, and live a different lifestyle, than younger people.   I'm fortunate that I have worked in an academic environment all of my career, so I have constantly been exposed to younger people and their distinctly different, and changing, "culture, values, and lifestyle".  I know people my age who haven't had that exposure, and they probably do use fewer apps, take longer to complete phone tasks, etc.  However, I wouldn't attribute these traits to a sign of cognitive decline, but instead are due to their just living a less techie, older culture and lifestyle.

Still waiting on ApplePay Cash in Australia. It can’t be that hard Apple.

Don't point the finger at Apple.  Australian banks have been dragging their feet over Apple Pay for years.

...Would you accept a bent car...?

Well, I doubt that any car ever manufactured has a 400 micron straightness tolerance, or even 4000 microns (4 mm).
