Right, so if Parallels has been recompiled for Apple Silicon, couldn't it then run Windows in a VM?

Parallels would run, yes, and it could run virtual machines running operating systems compiled to run on ARM as well as any software that will compile, but it will not run x86-based operating systems such as Windows (or Linux compiled for x86).

Ah.  I guess I thought the virtualization software could emulate the underlying processor needed as well.

Quit with the Hater shit, willya? It gets really old. Take it to MacRumors; it’s all they’ve got there.

There are opinions in the world that differ from yours.

But saying something is your opinion is not some sort of inoculation against criticism.  Opinions need to based in something factual unless we're just talking about your favorite flavor of bubble gum (matters of taste).  You're just saying dumb shit.

Ugh, don't undestand why anyone would want to cover electronics in horrible-feeling cowskin.

Easy - it protects the case (I’ve seen them get a lot of scuffs) and looks unique. 

Never understood the need to cover the AirPods case.  It's white and who cares if it gets scratched?  I have a case for my laptop, but I don't get a case to cover the case! 

Everyone is different.  Some don't mind scratched up stuff, it bothers others.  Plus, in a family where multiple people have AirPods, a case of some kind makes it easier to tell whose is whose.  And if they decided to sell them and buy a newer model at some point, items that aren't scuffed tend to fetch more money.

There's also this article, a month before the XR's release date, discussing that it didn't have the 4x4 MIMO antenna:

https://www.wiwavelength.com/2018/09/iphone-xr-trades-4x4-mimo-for-greater.html

2x2 MIMO antennas were in iPhones up through the X and iPhone 8/8 Plus series.  It's not a defective design, it's just not the latest/greatest technology which at the time of release for the XR, XS and XS Max was the 4x4 MIMO.  

There's no evidence Apple misrepresented this antenna in the XR or hid that spec from anyone.  I'm confused as to why people would think a phone that is obviously a step down from the flagship models of that year (see LCD screen instead of OLED, single lens camera, etc) should have top of the line specs.
