For now, pip still works on iPhone using Firefox and chrome. Doesn’t work in safari.

Radical re-design? Come on! The only thing radically re-designed is the pricing model.

It looks the same as the last generation, features the same colors, same processor, still has the same 720 p camera, and inexplicably, still has the same Wifi 5 functionality, even though the iPhone has Wifi 6.

Then you mention Apple's 'custom SSD' controller as if it's some massive innovation. It's no faster than a standard pcie-3.0 NVME controller... and it is slower than the latest pci-4.0 ones. macOS supports standard NVME, so there's no real reason to have a 'custom controller,' other than to ensure incompatibility with standard stock nvme drives on amazon, et. al. You know to lock people in to buying a more expensive option with more storage, rather than allow us to upgrade our SSD down the line. Then the GPU is underpowered relative to nVidia's models.

However, besides the new keyboard, and I guess speakers, one area that Apple did seem to innovate is on cooling. Obviously they had to do this, given that previous macbooks suffered from throttling. But please, don't feed us this crap about this latest model being so much more innovative than the last generation. It's still missing several things.

 If anything, this generation just shows how greedy Apple was in how it priced the mid-2019 15 inch mbpro. The same base configuration on the 15 inch (RAM/Storage) was at least 400 more expensive than this model. Given the fact that processing power and Wifi functionality has remained the same (and graphics has increased), it's just a price cut really.  Which is a good thing.

A very good update.  Only thing missing is WiFi 6.  Will be interesting to see when this design will be adopted on the 13-inch platform.

Really?! It never occurred to me that WIFI 6 wouldn’t be included.

It's not.  The tech specs on Apple's website state 802.11ac, not ax unfortunately.  A blemish in my view.
