Apple makes New York Magazine editor Lauren Kern 'editor in chief' at Apple News
Apple News is the only aggregation service I know of which can block Fox News, New York Post, and Breitbart, completely. That is why I use them nowadays. When Google News can do that I'll start using them again.

Apple to forge 'iPhone 8' chassis from stainless steel, report says
It's not only 1%. It's the most requested feature from a smartphone, from the users themselves. Question is, is Apple at the point where it does not listen to the users any more. Hopefully it does. I don't recall seeing thin-ness being at the top of the wish-list. The design can be as beautiful as you want, if it is not practical, people will use thick cases.sog35 said:
There's a thing called a battery case for people like you who needed extended battery life.kiowavt said:True or not,
Oh Apple, please stop with the thinness. Yes, it's the bragging point of the universe, but we are there at the great paradise of thinness in laptop and phone and pad. Headphone jack removal meant I cannot buy any new iPhones (I am on my phone all day for work) so the thinning of the phone lost one sale, and likely I have to hold onto my 6s forever. At this wonderful current thinness (before 7 and Touchbar) most folks add cases anyway. Make the phone much thinner and I will cut myself on it. :-) Battery life and function are at this stage far far far far more important to me and most others than the bragging rights of the thinnest out there. Yes yes, Steve Jobs pulled the Air out of a paper envelope and that was impressive. Even he would have known not to carry this on forever. Now the latest laptop is missing so much many might buy something from OWC that adds back thickness and function. Trouble is they also had to first pay the super high premium price for the thinning of the laptop. Oh, and a case with a headphone jack. Yep, the same there too. There comes a point where you have arrived, but even Apple failed to notice that. Add AR. Increase battery life to the moon. But stop before you go anorexic. Please. That also takes courage.
(The trick would have been to addict everyone to the AirPods and then, after a few Generations of AirPod improvement, THEN ditch the headphone jack).
For the rest of us, we enjoy the beautiful slim design. Why should the rest of us suffer with a thick ass phone, when its only the 1% like you that need extreme battery usage?
