Nice.
....until it gets throttled in favor of iPad Pro to fulfill Tim's vision of the PostPC era.
It wouldn't even surprise me anymore

So, why would that happen, exactly? I'd think there's no low-voltage condition on an old battery to compensate for, here.

There's significant thermal/ ventilation compromise in housing this type of machine in a consumer enclosure - especially with glue being the main mounting method instead of slightly more expensive but for thermal conductivity far more preferable screwed mounting on metal chassis parts.
This class of machine deserves its own casing - not a grey-sprayed consumer case where fancyness is the main design objective.
With all dust collection/overheating consequences of the closed setting.
Note: it is free for anyone to misinterpret criticism like this as trolling, but that says more about "offended" readers and their ability to reason with solid counter arguments

Kudo's, despite heavy competition from Apple during 20 years (1+2+3 =20)

I don't care if they burn the device in your pockets, this is the first wireless that is quite usable !! Apple: cancel that muzzy AirPower project that never took off, come out of your commodity cochlea and buy/implement this ! It will take courage - but yes, you can !!

Apple should have been in this market first. Siri is consistently terrible and it’s embarrasing for them that Amazon have come from no where to create this whole Echo/AI market. I just can’t understand what Apple and Google are doing with all their money and knowledge. They are both now playing catch up to Amazon? A shopping store.  

I hope Apple intend to do something more than just look out the windows in their new campus.

Stop with the trolling about Siri. You have no clue about Siri or its capabilities.

That's exactly how Apple VP's take sound criticism ("bad week"- Pavlov reaction)
How Ballmerized can you be.

A limited survey probably made under a few customers that need to justify their purchase. With solutions for issues that didn't exist or were made up by Apple themselves. Clever marketing - but for me it is just too much hype only to get rid of a few bezels (that is, hardly...) Hopefully animojis bring customers in higher atmospheres to distract them from the intolerable design issues remaining (shatter prone glass housing, limited battery, protruding camera) 2018: Time to switch to a manufacturer that gets it right instead of those throttlers from Cupertino - mimicking the Steve that once was

Oh look, we have a new one in our midsts. It just kills you that people actually enjoy products from the #1 brand, the most successful public firm in human history. Your pain compels you to troll on an apple site, attempting to express the neurosis by stating and restating how much you don’t like it that other people enjoy their products and tools. 

Several familiar troll tropes, but in the end your execution is poor. Troll Score: 0 of 10. 

Now that any less than stellar iPhX experiences here are structurally being denied and met with hate - also ref. Rem.Koolhaas personal experience - that says more about the misanthrope nature of "defenders" than anyting else.
Sadly for them, people retain the right to dislike a product (whether a BMW, Ferrari, or iPhone X) because of it characteristics or price/performance ratio.
This all proves their ability to handle criticism as well as some narcists on the Apple Board.
And for some, the need to justify an over $1k-purchase
