No, you’re not interpreting it correctly. 

Here’s how it will work for this month (August 2019):

The billing period will end on 8/31.  The next day, on 9/01, your August “statement” will be generated and you will know your statement balance. You’ll then have until the end of 9/30 to pay your August statement balance. So Apple Pay cardholders will always have at least 27 days to pay before they’ll start incurring interest charges on the previous month’s purchases (actually 28 days if you start counting at the last day of the billing period). 

So Apple Card will actually have the longest grace period in the industry. 

Read the Terms & Conditions to see for yourself (you can do this without having applied for the card). 

Thanks much for the explanation. I’ll be sure to read those Terms & Conditions — right after I’ve finished my EULA backlog. ;-)

Now that we know this, I’d suggest that the AI article could use some clarification regarding which month it’s referring to.

While the original's USB Type-C port was capable of up to 60 Watts of power delivery, the new version has been increased to provide up to 100 Watts, allowing it to charge all of the MacBook Pro lineup.

You should have made clear that this dock does not itself provide charging power — it only provides pass-through power from a suitable USB-C external power supply. (OWC's web site is unambiguous on this.)

I just bought a 2019 rMBA this week for a new hire at the office, and have been setting it up. I always used to buy the old MBA for general use (sales, customer service, admin, etc.), but switched to the non-TB rMBP when the new style MBP came out in 2016. We continue to buy the TB rMBP for more demanding uses, especially now that they have a quad core processor. I haven't counted recently, but we must have around 20 Mac laptops of various vintages.

Testing the 2019 rMBA with BlackMagic I'm seeing near identical read/write results at about 1320/1280 MBps, with ±25 MBps variability between test runs. Note that this rMBA is optioned to 16/512GB, so will likely score better than models with lesser storage.

Overall this 2019 rMBA feels plenty, err, snappy.

I measure popularity by what I notice people using in airports and on planes:
#1  MacBook Air (all generations), masses and masses of them.
#2  MacBook Pro (current form factor), quite a few.
...
...
...
#237  12" MacBook. Well, outside of a store I've never seen a 12" MB in the wild. Not one. Not Ever.

So "adorable"? Apparently not by many.

Well, Apple does offer Safari for Windows.
Turnabout is fair play.
