Lower-end models always get less media coverage. The mid-range always 'the best for most people' and the high-end always 'over-priced'.

"Twas always thus and always thus will be". 

A personal criteria-based examination may reveal the 16e is the perfect phone for a huge market segment. 

I am hardly a fan of the EU, it has over-reached in all sorts of directions, but their regulations are the result of very intelligent committees working for years on fairness and open-competition. Had the EU not had its regulatory powers, the World would now be carved up between Microsoft and Tesla. Apple would not exist. 

Yes, apart from Jony Ive's deep, monotone voice, it was a very interesting listen. I didn't like his choice of music, other than the recording of his 5 year old son (a first of Desert Island Discs), but that is what Desert Island Discs is all about. Discovery!

I very much got the impression that once Steve Jobs died, Jony Ive had to leave Apple. Steve and Jony were close friends, co-mentors and collaborators. Tim Cook is only a logistics guy and resented the power that Jony Ive had at Apple - equal with the ceo. As the Jim Reeves' song goes, "He'll Have to Go". 

I am sure that Steve Jobs would have been in two minds as to his preferred successor - Tim Cook or Jony Ive. I think he made the wrong decision. 

So many words to say so little, and unbalanced ones at that. 

Truly one of the worst app changes Apple has ever made. Where is the menu of my frequently used conversions that I used dozens of times a day? What used to take one click now takes six. Why are running calculations not shown according to BODMAS instead of filling up the Calculator screen without any result unless pressing '='?

Apple has transformed a perfectly good Calculator app into a monstrous carbuncle with no option to revert to the previous functionality!
