104%? The guy is dumb as a box of rocks.

Please don’t insult rocks. 

I guess a million dollars for an inauguration doesn't buy as much as it used to.

Long since the heady days of rumor threads before the iPhone, many of us tried to describe the utility of a foldable device the size of a thin paperback form factor.  Something that could go in a pocket, closable to protect the screens and when opened, providing a screen that could mimic a real book - thus a latter day iBook.  Since then, the iPad mini and iPhone Max's have tried to be that, but neither quite do it.  To some, this may be a niche, but I think, like the original iPod, it is not a solution waiting for a problem; it is a form-factor that most didn't know they wanted.

mmmm..a giant version of the unpopular Touch Bar ! Great thinking! 

Reports of the Touch Bar's unpopularity have been found to be greatly exaggerated.

This is the perfect function for a "studio" like Apple+!  Create 2-hour movies for theaters and 3-hour+ director's cuts for online streaming!  The best of both worlds and thy feed on each other with very little waste.  Imagine how many versions of The Lord of the Rings could have been effectively edited and made available to generations of viewers if this had been part of the plan!!  Tom Bombadil gives a "thumbs up!"  Anyone who whines about anything over 2-hours can safely ignore it and be ignored.

Awesome looking and looks to last a lifetime, but I can't see paying more than $99 for something like that ... even if it is worth it.
