Then I wish Ive personally felt passionately about, and said no to:
>antenna lines shape in iphone 6 and 6s.
>camera bump (use thicker battery to cover it up). Remember when he said that had the phone been thicker, less people would have used it, so the thin-ness was worth the battery life and camera bump... eyes rolling.
>iOS 7 bad design choices
>slippery aluminum phones (negates good aesthetics due to case being used), and rounded edges.
Apple design was better when Steve was around, that's for sure. He was a good counter-balance to Ive.

Does this affect 10.x images already downloaded to local computer? Can those still be used to restore an iPhone to iOS 10.x?

I guess better swollen and coming apart than setting your house on fire...

I hope Apple comes out with a small and inexpensive version of their home-based personal digital assistant, too.

I think that's a great idea. But I don't think this one undercuts HomePod, with their being such different devices. It might undercut it when you compare the quality of the yarn used, that's about it  

This Google device is not in the same category as the HomePod. You get one of these and connect it to your existing audio system for some good sound. This way you have an inexpensive voice assistant around the house, with the music it can play and everything else. The HomePod is for people who don't already have a better sound system. It's obvious from the price. But these little devices might turn out to be good trojan horses getting into homes, to expand their respective ecosystems. Apple does not and will not have a comparable device. Not saying it should or not, but it's not comparable.
