In Europe such gifts would be considered unethical or even illegal as they’ll be considered infringements of our bribery and anti-corruption rules, worsened by the fact a political person is involved. The more I learn about the USA these months, the more I despise the country and the more I like Europe - even though it’s far from perfect.

With 2nm this means less power requirements. I’d think this opens some serious options for a new mini phone.

My 13 mini is still going strong but one day it will break and I sure don’t want anything bigger than this. Nor do I look forward to folding phones, whatever great breakthroughs are being made.  I just don’t care. For me the mini is the sweet spot. I’d actually like it to be even smaller, like the 5S.
 

You forgot to mention the most important drawback even though you did seem to go in that direction: the size of this 16E.

I also bought my 13 mini after hearing Apple was expected to terminate the mini sized phones. And here I am, surviving with my mini until Apple will realize the mini does have a lot of admirers. I won’t go larger and I won’t go the Apple Watch route (I’m a Withings guy). I just keep my fingers crossed and hope it works for years to come.

Just no fingers near my screen, thank you. Maybe some function keys can be replaced with keys containing an oled screen but otherwise, it’s fine as it is now. Please, no screens at the palm rests and do not replace the speakers with touch sensitive areas or oled keys. Do not sacrifice the sound quality of the mbp. Interesting ideas though. Keep going.

The Mac Twitter app is likely being altered in a major way as it rebrands to X - unless musk decided that it wasn’t worth keeping if most Mac users just use safari. 

The app is unusable for quite some time. I stopped using it allogether even though the iOS version is fine (and works on macOS / Apple silicon).  On macOS I currently use the browser version of X. I llve making fools of the many twitter idiots although way too many seem to be bots, trolls or influencers. Or frauds.
