I don’t think I’m alone in not being in any hurry to see them overhaul Siri. It does what I want. I don’t want to carry on a conversation with my phone. I ask it to do something, it does it. I ask it a simple question, it gives me the info. I really don’t want any more than that. 

Or just how Apple has specifically and directly told Gruber that its market doesn't care about MagSafe. Charging speeds and methods do get more attention from long-term or technical users than they do from regular consumers. Nobody really cares about the difference between 7.5W and 15W, because nobody really notices

OK, but when they rolled out MagSafe that was true of pretty much all iPhone users. Nobody had used it. Nobody had seen the difference between 7.5W and 15W. Nobody cared about it until they tried it. Saying 16e users don’t know any better seems a bit dismissive. 

I know a few people that had Copilot on their work systems. they absolutely hated it. One called it “an unholy union of Clippy and Urcle”.

Nothing that is manufactured is carbon neutral. The whole carbon credit shell game is a grifting scam. 

Exactly. Multiple studies have found that they sell the same credits to multiple clients, sell the credits, and then develop the land anyway, or just lie about the credits they have to sell.

Apple's website is specifically pitching the 16e to current owners of the IPhone 11, 12, 12 Mini and SE 2 and 3 phones. 

Suppose that today I accidentally drop/step on/kick my iPhone11 down the stairs and HAVE to get a new phone. No waiting for September. To me I’d have a choice. A14, the closest thing to my 11 that works with all my existing chargers, cables, and such. Alternatively I could spend a bit more and get a 15 or even a 16 and get a massively better phone. If they are targeting me as an 11 user with this their shells aren’t even landing in the same continant.
