Who would notice the difference? If you have a 1st-gen Siri Remote, compare it to your phone. Does one seem thinner? 

Just leave it on your desk upside down—now the power button is on top.

I wish Apple would add a feature to turn off cellular service entirely in certain locations. A big proportion of the battery is consumed by having no cellular service, and my wifi connection will always be better. I made a shortcut to turn on airplane mode when connected to particular wifi networks, but it doesn't work half the time, gets stuck in a weird loop of turning airplane mode on and off and spams me with a notification every_single_time. Which is another bugbear, I do not want to know every time a shortcut runs. Let me turn those notifications off. 

These notifications have been annoying me too—it’s especially distracting since it vibrates my watch. Have you sent a feature request to Apple? I also have an automation that is supposed to toggle “always on” for my watch so it’s not lit up overnight, and that used to work perfectly but now it only works about one day out of ten. I wrote to Apple about it when it stopped working, about half a year ago, and asked them to include a feature in the OS that turns it off at bedtime and turns it on again when it sees that you’re awake in the morning, but so far they haven’t fixed the bug or included the feature. As a result, I almost never have the benefit of “always on,” because I’m too lazy to dig down in the settings twice a day. I bet I’m not the only one who doesn’t want their watch face glowing all night. 

As Apple diversifies its manufacturing beyond China, I would expect Ming-Chi Kuo’s analysis to become less accurate and less bullish, since his existing contacts will have access to a smaller proportion of the overall picture, and he may have more trouble developing new contacts in other countries. 

Much has been made about the thinness of the new models, but coming from a 10.5” iPad Pro, it doesn’t seem like a big difference, probably due to the rounded edges of the earlier model. The new 11” actually feels a little clunkier to me with its squared edges, and of course not as nice in the hands, but if you’re using it with a keyboard or case, that won’t matter to you. Here’s a photo for comparison.
