Here is Tim Cook again, he can‘t shake off his COO roots to constantly bargain state-of-the-art features for a better total cost tag. 
I was looking for an affordable full screen budget phone from Apple to supplement my corporate phone. The SE was always a meager compromise with all it’s limitations, particularly the super old fashioned screen layout. Now, that is obviously fixed with the 16e, and certainly there are some other improvements which makes the phone qualify for what I was looking for to begin with…just to find out about the limitations again in other areas: no MagSafe (seriously? that alone totally disqualifies the phone!), no colors (again, ever thought about kids or just people who‘s world is not black and white?), just to name the two most prominent problems…oh, the price tag being among them for sure.

So again a phone with compromises, facing the need to please shareholders and keep the margin up. As much as I am a fan of the Apple ecosystem, how long do they believe to keep their monopoly? Every year they increase the risk to ultimately reach the breaking point where even loyal users have enough of this shareholder game and want to see well thought through products across the entire budget line! A normal consumer has little understanding for a company accumulating billions of dollars and not investing in the right things. Guess what, it is our money that makes you run, maybe you should remember that now and then…

I use the action button of my ultra 2 regularly for cycling. I do a lot of it, whenever I can leave the car in the garage and use my bike for all sorts of stuff (grocery shopping, post, etc.) it is my personal preference. Especially in winter times when I am all packed up it is super convenient to just press this button instead of finding my way through the menu…

Agree with previous comments, "Thunderbolt 4 Multimedia Pro Dock" does not deserve its name, it is at the end an old fashioned, classical USB(A) hub :-(

In Germany they increased the price for the iPad mini by 100€ without any advancements, considering it to be anyway quite expensive already before…let‘s see how the market reacts, seems the count on the Holiday season, but that might be a dangerous gamble given today‘s time!

Or….you give it another twist. Imagine Ted being called back to the US (I leave the reason to the writers getting paid 😉), and he pulls over some of the folks from his British team for whatever nice stuff the authors come up with. Sounds familiar? Right, Crocodile Dundee had that, but was fun nevertheless (at least to me old dinosaur 😅)
