Really, this is another non-article from AppleInsider. First it suggests that you have to use wired charging with the 16e, which was a little surprising. Then:

"If you have to use a Qi charger instead of MagSafe, it will take much longer" 

So it has wireless charging! 

"and it will be so inefficient that it uses more power"

Does the author understand the concept of efficiency?

MagSafe is not about efficiency but correct placement. Once you have learned where to place your phone on a Qi charger there is no difference in efficiency. 

I too have a MagSafe-compatible iPhone and have never used a MagSafe charger. I use 2 Qi chargers and only a cable to transfer data. 

So no difference with the 16e. Non-article.

It does irritate me that people get paid for writing such obvious tripe.

The cine effect of zooming in while moving the camera away is called the 'Vertigo Effect' pioneered by Sir Alfred Hitchcock in the film of that name, released in 1958. It has been much copied including in Jaws but to attribute the effect to Jaws is something of an affront. 

I won't be 'upgrading' my M1 MacBook Air ('the last of the wedges'). I welcome the Center Stage addition but I already have Center Stage with the Studio Display that my MBA drives. I still regard the M1 MBA as the pinnacle of Apple design. After Jony Ive was ejected by Tim Cook, the design aesthetic has taken backseat and Apple is all the worse for it. It would take a truly generational change to make me buy a new Mac and I think those days are over. Even MacOS is going downhill - witness the new Calculator app, an affront to anyone who has ever used a calculator. Without extreme design-focus, rather than merely technology updates, peak-Apple has passed. 

The Mac Mini acquired its original dimensions due to the need to incorporate an optical drive. It was perverse that it retained its dimensions after the optical drive was removed - Apple's usual inertia when it comes to updating the Mini.

The Mac Studio was a monstrous carbuncle that could easily have fitted in the size of the Mini but had to be made larger for marketing purposes.

The new Mini is welcome. A 'Mac Minimum' without the ethernet port and fewer USB-C ports would be even more so. It must be over 20 years since I last saw a wired ethernet port in use. Perhaps it is a U.S. thing like cars? Apple used to be always ahead of the curve, now they feel to be lagging. 

The Mac Mini has stayed the same shape and size since the days when it incorporated an optical drive. A size reduction is 14 years overdue. Then they can either make the 'Studio' Mini-sized or just eliminate it as a bad idea.
