Funny about the iPhone 12 mini: there are only two devices I would pick out of the current line-up: 12 Pro Max, or 12 mini.
Anything else makes sense only in very special cases, and for posers...

Why not an Apple Bicycle instead of a car to encourage bike riding instead of driving all the time? And a lot more people could afford an Apple Bike instead of the ultra rich few who will have to pay $50,000 to $100,000 a copy. 

And exactly what would that do that other e-bikes don’t?
Apple isn’t in the business of slapping their brand onto me-too products, and maybe saucing them um with a bit of industrial design.
Apple enters markets with products it can fundamentally redefine.

The only “next level” battery technology worth talking about is one without lithium.

It makes me want to puke when self-righteous “environmentalists” drive around in their stupid BEVs pretending to save the world, while they destroy a unique eco system and the livelihoods of many indigenous people.

BEVs based on lithium batteries are a disaster, lithium batteries in general are a disaster, but the sheer volume of those going into cars make them particularly unsustainable.

EVs are not bad per se, that’s why there are either FCEVs, which would be best, because they also get rid of the charging problem, or BEVs with non-lithium batteries.

I strongly hope that Apple isn’t the next billion dollar company greenwashing BEVs with lithium batteries.

Facebook is a privacy theft.
Apple is a locksmith with a new lock.

Imagine, if each time more secure locks, doors, and windows hit the market, the union of thieves would protest and call that anti-competitive?

That’s exactly the Chutzpah Facebook displays.
Having a short term windfall benefit from inadequacies of technologies in rapid development does NOT constitute a right to these benefits, something law enforcement and spy agencies should remember, too.
