Does not show AppleTV 4K, it’s shows AppleTV 4th generation and FireTV stick as available options.

I'm looking at a sign-up screen right now with the 4K.

Doesn't matter if phone has Gig+ speed chip inside. Boils down to Cellular network support of that speed and most importantly network bandwidth deployed everywhere to handle for every connection. While plenty will buy OLED 6+" iPhones, hope Apple offers verious form factors LCD version of iPhones with FaceID at better price point.

The point is very valid but depends on where you are, how you are served and carrier roll out.

Many carriers are being offered LTE upgrades as a cost effective transitional move before the 5G roll out. 4.5G will happen before 5G but phones will also need more antennas as well as faster modems. In that regard, there is a case for having the technology if it's available on your phone just in case your carrier upgrades your local backbone infrastructure or you have access to it while on the move. There are also pluses for data and voice connection stability via better cell tower handovers etc. These are areas that often get overlooked.

Apart from that, Apple needs to keep abreast of what competitors will be offering next September and with what some are already offering now.

If, for example, you happen to be a frequent high speed train traveller you will see the benefits immediately. Also, the ability to 'cling onto a connection' in difficult circumstances (tunnels for example) normally improves from one generation to the next.

I was laughed at a few months ago here because I said Tim cool is a poor leader. 

Never mind the endless amount of things delayed under Steve. I guess he was a poor leader too.

Apple's problem is software.  It is ridiculous hundreds of millions of iPhone users have to install and updates new iOS weekly.  Monthly may be a more reasonable period. I refuse to install iOS 11 because I hate the constant reminder from Apple to install new OSs which are mainly to fix bugs and some are not ever related to my phone. 

yes, its absolutely ridiculous that Apple fixes their OS. Maybe they should be like Android and just drop support 2 months after the phone comes out. 

Pointless accusation to Jobs.

What a coincidence, I included Time magazine on my list of "Things Nobody Cares About in 2017."
