I have the original mini, so, it's unlikely anyone has been waiting for this update longer.  My 'original' has very old software, of course,
and a wonderful way of crashing when I link into Safari.  And although updating the processors from the Mini4 is a wonderful
improvement, there aren't many other striking advances (use of the lesser pencil is only marginally attractive to my purposes).

Still, I'm neither an 'executive', nor a 'creative', and this is a spectacular upgrade from my 'original'...
Primarily - but not solely - it will serve as my best ebook reader, Kindles being a glitchy, pathetic, unreliable excuse for a tablet.
I'm mostly happy with the changes, aside from having to choose between too little and too much memory - a well-established Apple trick -
and look forward to obtaining one (as soon as I can distract my wife into looking "over there!!!").

It is suggested devices using USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 will be arriving in 2019 on high-performance desktops, with peripherals likely to arrive in 2020 once support for the standard becomes more widespread.

KISS is obviously not high on their agenda then??????

You mean, "Keep It Stupid???  Simple!".

It's unfortunate what happened to his child, but it doesn't negate the stupidity of this lawsuit.  At the minimum, Apple should (I hope) file for reimbursement of attorney fees.  I hope there is some way of also getting damages for what is basically a fraudulent lawsuit.  

After all, why stop there?  The father should also file a lawsuit against the vehicle manufacturer for allowing a distracted driver to operate the vehicle.  Heck, let's sue God for allowing such an idiot to be born in the first place.

So...you're just going to let their wireless carrier off, scot-free???

I wonder if he's related to Y. Lee Coyote...?
