I couldn’t wait, needed a new iMac for personal business, bought one at Black Friday prices end of 2019. Great build and I love the 5k screen, but there is definitely room for improvements and tweaks - my top ones: Easy access to swap out hard drive with an SSD, higher resolution camera for video conferencing, smaller bevels, side to side monitor adjustment, less weight if it doesn’t affect stability, latest WiFi 6 and Bluetooth chipset, FaceID login, and this is a long shot ... Wide screen format (I have an 34” LG curved wide at work - wow, lots of room).

If her charitable giving helps fight injustice, and helps the hungry, homeless, sick and those without access to education - then more power to her.

All of geofencing based marketing relies on location data ... the data is harvested by your weather app (which typically has location services always on) and sold. IBM should be next in the lawsuit and should be fined at least a billion IMO.

I believe there is an expectation (hope) that the coronavirus will be better under control in the coming 3 months, which means that the ill revenue effects on Apple will be limited to the next two quarters. If this had happened during the holiday season, the stock price would be punished severely. The negative impact on Samsung and Android is much greater due to Samsung's timing of new product announcements - right in the midst of the chaos. The cancellation of the Barcelona Mobile conference destroyed the typical spark in interest & demand for new Android products, and the much needed press coverage/marketing buzz android relies on. Combine that with a fall off in demand in China - a huge Android market - and you have a greater impact on Apple's competition than Apple itself. It could even be an opportunity for Apple to capitalize on. Cook was very smart with addressing this early and head-on. The market doesn't like surprises - this move actually helped shed some light on expectations. If there are some interesting new product announcements by Apple in March, you may see a fairly quick return to pre-corona price levels as Wall Street looks for something new Apple can sell (especially a value priced model) and start to focus on the much anticipated Apple September 2020 announcements/super cycle on the horizon.

Can anyone explain why the Samsung is a full 1oz lighter even though it has a larger display and battery?
