I'll wait to hear the full story from all sides but my first thought was 'Think Secret'. 

AppleInsider got sued a few years before ThinkSecret, and won too.

In this climate, though, it'll be interesting to see how this goes.

And ThinkSecret did not win their lawsuit and got shut down for the leaks they posted on their website.  I miss the days when people were actually surprised during a keynote when a new product was released, because none of it was leaked beforehand.

So it is almost a 10mm brick in your pocket for over $2,000, and like everything else that folds, there will be a crease down the display after use.  You can't avoid it.  Apple did not invent some magical display that won't show a crease over time.  I would rather look right at my phone without having to unfold it every single time.  I bet you have to unfold it every time you want to take a picture to see what is on the screen through the camera.  So now you will look like the fools holding up an iPad to take pictures.

There is no good reason that Face ID does not already exist on the laptops and on the already quite expensive monitors

You should read the article next time.  There is very good reason why there is no FaceID.  The components won't fit in the very thin MacBook display lid.  With their overpriced monitors, the FaceID components would fit, but Apple has no interest in doing that.  Even in this 12,000 word patent, there is no mention of FaceID or lock.  This is just a camera that detects motion.  With OLED MacBooks coming next year, the display lid will be even thinner, so guarantee no FaceID.  Just use your finger since TouchID has been on the MacBooks since 2016.

If they are hoping for Apple Intelligence, which is terrible, they are going to be waiting a long time.  All the tech sites claim Gurman says Apple won't fix Siri until late Spring 2026, and no one is holding their breath on that because Apple has had 14 years to fix Siri, and done nothing with it.  Most people don't even use Siri on AppleTV.  Siri can't search all the streaming platforms, so what's the point?  Siri cannot even search your local media library.

Good price, for basic use.  Apple loves to advertise their products for photo, media, and other creative projects, yet still fails to offer adequate storage in their starting configurations.  1TB should be the standard starting config, and up from there, without the excessive cost to upgrade.  If you are not into photography, music, video, then maybe a small SSD is satisfactory, but that's not the majority.  Unless Apple does it on purpose to sell their cloud services, but then you are relying on a good internet connection to get access to your files.  Look how many years it took Apple finally bump the memory to 16GB, and that is only for their (failed) Apple Intelligence.
