I was so happy that the editorials of DED stopped appearing for some time. Sad to see them back again.

Really fascinating. And it's been a joy to be on this ride as they took it from vision to a compelling line of new products.

When can we expect those triggered by DED, and explanations of how Apple got right what others got wrong, to arrive and say this is wrong?

What does this "feature" (it's an editorial, let's be honest) say on how Apple got to make better silicon? All I see in this editorial is that Apple was the best from the start (from A5 on) and just made better performing silicon the whole time. How is that an explanation of the title?  How is it that Qualcomm is not even mentioned in an editorial comparing the competition in silicon in the mobile space? I have learned nothing; except the vapid throwing around of the notion that Apple is focused and Samsung is not. As if that is all that is needed to design the best silicon in the business. What a joke.

They were always better and sell more. I previous mentioned that this is always the argument of an DED editorial; Apple is better because they sell more. And if this is not the case; Apple is better because they make more profit. Oh and don't forget to be really mad at journalist with a different perspective/opinion. It doesn't seem vindictive at all. Throw in that Samsung copies and Google sell all your data and I think I have summarized all the editorials of DED quiet well. Oh, almost forgot; HOMEPOD IS DOING FINE!

Please keep labeling DED editorials as editorials, it makes it easier to skip the drivel.

I know that this is even more of a moonshot than the size being the same as the original SE, but I would instantly buy if they bring back the headphone jack. I am one of the, I assume, few people who walked away from the iPhone when it was removed. I loved my time with the 6s. With all Android phones losing the jack, it makes me hold on to my current phone while not being sure what to buy. Apple could convert me instantly back with the reintroduction of the jack.

Most of the time I am able to detect and skip a DED editorial just by the title, but due to this title being a less obvious DED over-the-top headline (a really pathetic way to get clicks by the way) I was suckered in this time. I again come to the same conclusion; obsessive fanboying.

The editorials are always the same; Journalists suck. Apple sells more (or makes more money if that is not the case) and is therefore always right. All competitions are copycats or their original idea sucks, because it doesn't sell as much (or makes less money if that is not the case). Ooh and Ecosystem. What is the point of writing the same 'argument' time and time again? The only difference in these editorials is the first paragraph. All other sections can be copy pasted between the editorials without any difference in the overall 'thesis'. Nothing useful or interesting is conveyed. No new insights after reading the first editorial. And I am not even talking about all the incorrect information within these editorials.
 
It is just for here for generating clicks by being as provocative as possible. And unfortunately this time I am participating in the problem.
I will try skipping these crappy editorials again in the future and hope that AppleInsider reconsiders posting these. There are lots of nice editorials written on this website, DED editorials just aren't one of those.

Duo phone? Is MSFT re-entering the SmartPhone market? With a zero market share OS? With a foldable phone that will likely not last a year and cannot be used while walking, nor easily mounted in the car? With a reputation for entering and exiting the phone biz?

Did you even read the article? Why can this not be used when walking? Why can it not be mounted in a car? Why are you asking so many stupid questions?
