Should the home button be removed from the iPad, I hope they tweak how the home bar functions. On the phone it makes sense to leave it at the bottom, but given in our house every family member that uses one of our two iPads holds / carries it landscape 99% of the time.  It would make more sense to have that home bar closest to a thumb that’s available to swipe it.  Not shipping the 3.5mm dongle seems odd, unless they intend to pack in cheap AirPods (non-wireless charging version). Wouldn’t that be mind blowing?

THE COURIER LIVES!!  One of the other crazy concepts that came out of MSFT labs but was shelved cuz it didn’t run office. 

Are we getting tickets for interacting with the Nav / HUD / radio these days as well?

Apple sold me a refurbished 6+ for the cost of a battery swap 6 months outside of Apple Care due to my on-going issues. 

Yeah... this could sting Apple a little bit, as it should.

My 6+ was shitting itself with shutdowns at 30-50% randomly during the last couple of months of Apple Care. I went in three times and was sent away twice because their diagnostic seemed to believe the battery was fine, it was apps or the system that was run amuck. “Try a fresh reinstall and see if it improves”. Yeah, it didn’t. Thankfully the Genius Bars guys are not always dick holes and still replaced the phone outright with a refurb because, a.) Apple rocks customer service even though I was outside of Apple Care on the third trip in, and b.) their battery replacement machine was broke down or something.  It was a pain in the ass given that the Apple Store isn’t down the street from me and the closest one is one of the most popular places in Seattle.  Three trips in was a bit excessive.
