I'll enjoy every of the five seconds of this Piano Black 7 Plus before I cover up this tiny slippery new iPhone in an expensive Apple-case. 

Well said but like a paper bag on your lovers face when you make love, it makes it all the better she's still hot beneath the bag. otherwise no one would go to the gym and do crunches. Or would be happy owning a Dell computer or a Chevy car. I mean the work fine but not the coolest thing you could own or Fk.

Besides quality, people loved Apple products like they love great houses, hot cars, nice clothes and other niceties. 

I love my SE, but I'm going with a gloss black plus for my second line. I never got a 6 series but the camera on this year's plus intrigues me. The camera has always been a huge selling point for me. And after suffering with Android for many years iOS is a godsend.

If Apple switches from Intel to their variant of ARM what does this mean for?

1. Windows (BootCamp, Parallels/VMWare/VirtualBox)
2. Running other OS's in VM's like Linux, etc?
3. Software that relies on x86, including various unix command line tools, brew/nix, Java/Eclipse/IntelliJ, databases like Postgres/etc?
4. Specialized, complex, professional GUI software beyond that which can be safely ported with a recompile such as Adobe CS/Microsoft Office, etc?

I think Apple knows they're in a pickle with the Intel situation but switching to ARM would cause a slew of problems with the above use cases.

No one cares about Windows. They use what the office supplies its workers

Whatever Apple chooses in the short term, intel is all but to the curb for future Macs. First Apple can't rely on whatever whims Intel imposes. Secondly, Intel has said publicly that the x86 is not a priority anymore with the death of the PC. Third, and most importantly, Apple has spent a lot of money on the A series. And the A series is not going to sit still. It's constantly improving. Faster I'd say than the X86 ever did. They have way too much invested in the A series to just follow Intel off the cliff they are marching towards.

Reminds me of how the biggest tech blogs wholeheartedly in a concerted effort (they all know each other and work as a swarm that loves smelling their own farts) recommended the MS Surface to their readers, only to see those same customers stuck with highly defective and expensive brick.

And funny how in all the reviews for the Note7, none mentioned that the modest Apple SE can run circles around the Note performance-wise and the case is still the most beautiful on the market even after almost 4 years.
