Everything you need to know about Apple's T2 chip in the 2018 Mac mini and MacBook Air
It's on the other side towards the middle just passed the fan, /nit picked :P

Google Pixel 3 XL leak shows taller notch than iPhone X coupled with big chin
That notch looks wrong even for notches, I wonder if it's because of the ratios mentioned here - the iPhone X never has a vertical tangent on its notch

Apple considers alternative MacBook keyboards with touch interfaces, improved dust protect...
I don't feel so great about the entire surface being a single glass layer...I like the idea of keeping physical keys, but adding e-ink or transflective displays to them, better.

Apple targets thermal performance issues on 2018 MacBook Pros with software update
I'm wondering if "missing digital key" is PR speak for a similar tweak as some members found, around max power states and VRM temperatures. By tamping down the max state they had much better sustained performance.

Round-up: user 'solutions' for thermal throttling of the i9 2018 MacBook Pro
Solution with quotes is the right choice of phrase, some other used 'fixed' and I can't agree with that one - it can be avoided by reducing the time and max power of the CPU's top states. The design is still flawed, but there's improvements to be made in post. The VRMs are under specced for the job as well as inadequately cooled, and I have to wonder what the "professional workflow team" is for if they didn't catch VRM throttling dipping the CPU to 800MHz.
I'm also wondering about the BGAs of the VRMs if they shunt so rapidly between over a hundred degrees and idle temps.
Silence is the worst look for Apple on this topic, hopefully they detail what improvements can and will be made.
