So those of is with the Milanese Loop, it looks as though we'll have to disconnect one end of the loop connector from the Apple Watch body each time we charge up with AirPower. Kind of annoying, but it is what it is.

Qualcomm is declining in relevance.  They had the early monopoly in wireless, but the next gen chips will be 5G that fall back to 4G.

Qualcomm’s monopoly is more 3G and earlier.  Qualcomm might be lightly better in 4G & 5G but there’s no longer the customer lock-in in IP, for a marginal performance boost.

Goodbye Qualcomm.

You do realize that Qualcomm makes more than modem chips, right?

I must admit, I usually am not a fan of DED’s hit pieces AT ALL, but this was actually well reasoned and on point. 

Most of of the time, his stuff reads like the geeky kid trying to win the affections of the pretty girl in high school by kissing her ass 24-7. 

Classy

Heh, I think there’s a nugget of truth to it. DED rarely offers a critical eye of Apple (he leaves that to the other writers on the site). Even Gruber can get critical at times. DED just looks to fight tooth and nail with someone, anyone (or company) all the time that offers the hint of criticism or poses a potential threat to Apple. 

The “hero” act is just a bit played out, that’s all I’m saying.

I Wonder if Angela Ahrendts influace has something to do with whats happening with Apples prices and image of super lux. Product... indtead of value proposition. 

I said it months ago. The XR should have had a smaller screen size, pulling the price down to at least 699 with the same profits, maybe even a lower price.

Android phones with screens bigger than the Xr sell for much less than the Xr though. So there's no excusing high prices with feature X or Y.

Some do, some don't. Here's a handful of the flagship Android phones on the T-mobile site, all with comparable prices to iPhones:
