The thing is, Apple of course has looked at and even produced versions with the TouchID button on the back, because it would be part of their process to determine how it would work for the UX.  But that being said, the button the back, especially in the middle as many Android phones have, is not easy to use.  Your fingers are always going to naturally sit at the edges of the phone.  Sure, you can slide your forefinger over to the middle of the phone, but it is a counter intuitive action to be pushing with one finger while holding the phone against that force (even if it's a small force).

Apple would be better off creating two TouchID zones on the edges of the iPhone where your thumb and forefinger naturally fall when holding the phone, if they can't make the through-the-glass scanning work, IMHO.

It's interesting how processor manufacturers used went from focusing on the development of faster and faster processors, to now focusing on energy efficiency. Once they hit the 5nm mark, I can't imagine there will further improvements without some significant shift in overall processor design.

For all the crap that Apple fans get from the Android crowd, the Pixel seems like it is attracting buyers who simply want a Google product, regardless of the fact that it looks like the iPhone and is lacking many of the features of the iPhone and many other Android competitors.  

Typical Consumer Reports.  They're not much different than other publications that benefit from click-bait headlines.  I would love to see the average age of their readers, because I'm guessing they're in the 55+ age bracket.  These are people who haven't figured out how to Google for product reviews.

This is exactly why Trump's promises of bringing manufacturing back to America are more likely to have a negative effect on jobs.  Not that it's Trump's fault, but promising factory workers that there is some great future for them is irresponsible at best, and dangerous on some level.
