Interesting.  Not super useful unless Apple opens iCloud for hosted web apps that could do more functional things on the dashboard.  I've almost given up hope on that front though.

God, that connector is awful! Why does it need to protrude over an inch from the device. Will make it much harder to handle while it is charging, when compared to a Lightning connector. Been looking, but haven't found anything more compact yet.

That's a Thunderbolt connector.  Apple's USB-C connectors are pretty much the exact same length as their lightning connectors.

That's a misleading graph to use, use this one instead:

Why is it misleading? The numbers are the same only the chart type is different.

They are not.  See the link provided.  Or just read the numbers that are clearly not the same.  Hell the timescale isn't even the same so you should really pay more attention before leaning in.

"it's high time Apple changed something - anything - about the iPad Pro's design, because three generations of virtually no changes is too much," he writes, before offering the iPad's front camera position change could be an idea for next time.

Fuck off fashionista.

As I understand it, you could buy an iPhone without signing a contract, but you had to activate it at home through iTunes, and would need to sign up to an AT&T plan in the USA.  You couldn't use it without a contract.

It was similar in the UK, though replace AT&T with O2.
