What a bunch of idiots, especially using spray paint on a building. Surely they will need to use some chemicals to remove the spray paint now. 

I can not condone any acts of vandalism. 

I condone neither vandalism nor the gross stupidity demonstrated in this action by the actor and his adoring fans. 

Will other corporations parse what they had to pay in tariffs? I hope so. With Apple making that figure public I'd expect some blowhard from The Felon complaining about how well he treated Tim Apple and that he doesn't appreciate it.

We don't know how to make a $500 computer that's not a piece of junk.

Times have changed a little. I'd hate to see Apple in a race to the bottom. Building a truly entry level MacBooks does have it's advantages. 13" MBAs have had pretty attractive sale prices, but I don't know if that's the vendors eating any of their cost.

Though it's 12" screen was somewhat limiting, I think it's one of the nice most travel-worthy MacBooks ever. After awhile it's processor really felt anemic, and its subsequent upgrades weren't much better.

Stick any processor better than the best one in the 2017 MB in it, and I might grab one. It wouldn't perform as well as my 13" iPad Pro but wouldn't be as awkward to use for longer than a few minutes. And it's macOS not iPadOS. I'd take that over an iPad running some kind of macOS as well.

There are a number of areas the logo can move to and fit design standards. 

For Apple that number is 1.

Whaaaat???

Apple is rumored to be considering moving it's logo?? When it could be working on an anti-grav air brake that allows the iPhone to hover 1' above any surface including water? Minimizing drop damage to the phone?? WTF are they thinking!!!

Apple isn't making a big deal about this. I agree putting the logo in the middle of the free space makes for a better aesthetic. Putting it in the actual middle of the entire phone makes for an unbalanced look.

I can easily see Apple moving the logo, but I don't know that they would. They probably wouldn't relocate the MagSafe ring's location to accommodate a logo change. But it's just as possible they want to relocate the ring for some assembly or performance reason and are would be moving the logo in response to the redesign of the internals.

These 'leaker' reports are fun because based on no word from Apple, people come out of the woodwork to rant on how awful something might be. Poor babies.
