Regarding the monitor:

My findings suggest that the specs will actually be:

A 31.6 inch screen with an aspect ratio of 19.5 x 9. Pixel dimensions of 6,240 x 2,880 with a pixel density of 218 ppi.

This is basically the same screen that is currently in the iMac 27 inch but wider. Exactly the same height and pixel density but ultra wide format of 19.5x9 instead of 16x9 takes the screen diagonal to exactly 31.6 inches.

What this means is that should you wish (seems excessive but) you can place the new 31.6 incher alongside a current gen iMac and it matches up perfectly, pixel for pixel, meaning this can now be a second screen for iMacs, iMac Pros or a primary screen for the new upcoming Mac Pro.

Obviously the new screen will have reduced bezels and will house a series of Thunderbolt 3 / USB C ports and will provide power for laptop charging along with speakers, Full HD front facing camera, but the screen technology will be an evolution of what is already in today's 27 inch screens, only wider.

You heard it here first.

Local Siri is a no brainer and actually Apple's devices used to operate this way before Siri was introduced. On my iPhone 3G and 3GS, I could say things to my phone like 'play this playlist' or 'shuffle all songs', or 'call (insert contact here). I did not need an internet connection and it was instant. Asking Siri to set a timer for ten minutes and waiting for it to send this to the cloud and then wait for a response is kinda ridiculous. Especially when in the car if I'm in a remote area. Siri is all of a sudden unusable, and all I want to do is play a song or set a reminder. I should not need an internet connection for this. Huge step backwards.

Drives me crazy because I live in a city that doesn't have connection on underground transport and connectivity is also bad outside of the city when on the road.

Please! For the love of God – The chin must go!!!!
