What I still do not understand is why an iPad Pro costing north of 1k usd/eur etc cannot have “the best camera available”.

Have you tried new glasses?

I wish Apple would make an iPad mini pro, without the current, shoddy, shrunken down UI they currently use for the mini, which has smaller font and app icon sizes than my iPhone 13 mini ffs. 

I just want an amazing, casual use experience. The iPhones are too small for this, the mini has a terrible UI, and the other iPads are too big for this. 

The iPad pro’s functionality is amazing, but casual use probably makes up %99.9 of all iPad usage time; I wish Apple would optimize the iPad mini for this. 

I live in Switzerland, close to Germany and France, close to Basel.

ideally, as Switzerland is not part of EU, for people living in Germany/Switzerland and buying in Switzerland/Germany you should be able to:

- recover (or not pay) CH/DE tax
- pay customs on entry
- pay VAT on entry

In practice is more complicated as many merchants DO NOT subtract VAT (online by example) even when your documents say that you live on the other side of the block, except for close border buys on DE/FR chains.

I worked at Apple for 12 years. While Tim Cook may lack the vision of Steve Jobs, his brilliance as a businessman makes him a worthy successor, and one of the best CEO's in the world. The numbers don't lie, and those numbers have enriched the portfolios of millions, myself included.

Tim is at Apple because of Steve, and Tim has carried Steve's torch of strong principles tall and proud. I fear the next CEO will not do that, and it will be a sad moment of change in Apple's lifetime. But change is inevitable.

I'm not so sure. It has been suggested that Jeff Williams is being groomed as the next CEO or at the very least a serious candidate for succession. He is similar to Tim in many ways and has followed a similar path both before and within Apple, even similar functions albeit offset by a decade or so. I'm very confident that that particular succession would go quite smoothly and Apple's DNA will still be in good hands.

I agree that Jeff Williams seems to be the next on the line. And, due to the fact that technology will continue to be a growth history for at least the next ten years, I believe that Cook’s successor will also have a high reputation. Once the wind change for technology (if ever on our lifetimes) the Apple’s Ceo reputation can dramatically change. 

Microsoft includes a four-speaker sound system in its MacBook Air, complete with Dolby Atmos support with Spatial Audio. The headphone jack is also better in that it contains high-impedance headphone
