As much as the world is a better place for Apple having existing, I feel that Apple has to be taken down a notch - forced obsolescence in operating systems, software, hardware, and online services; morality police in passwords and data; over the top DEI initiatives; endless 'highly exclusive' proprietary wireless, chips, and online services; etc., etc. Apple hasn't done much really, really wrong as they have horribly neglected to do much 'politically' and socially right. This means they should win the suit but lose much money, customer loyalty, and developer/vendor attention/ service. Maybe a 30% drop in stock prices can deride the Arrogance. Hopefully, Apple will be a bit more like Tesla with absurdly open protocols and standardization - benefitting the industry more and the bottom line less.

Wouldn't a more accurate title be 'How to Remove Apps'?

Agreed. I was looking for the paragraph on how to clean-up that area but keep 'sentimental' apps on the last page/screen of my iOS.
Ho-hum. I guess they do an 'eyeball' check on the Headline content to see what will attract the most clicks and imprison you in their article for the most 'ad viewing' seconds. Ho-hum...ad nauseam.

I like it. It has that 'look at me' size and shape - like a famous-brand Italian bag.
Ideally, it would have a loop or shoulder strap to attach to a carry-on or over-the-shoulder while strutting down 5th or airport lounge.
The pillow case look is bizarre, but i am over 30, so I don't get 'first impact fashion' statements. I detested puffy jackets when they came out last century.
I trust that when battery-size gets minimized that carrying cases will adapt.

Risky.
In public.
Seems like peripheral vision is greatly reduced. Distraction and ability to monitor your surrounding several times per second --the minimum to function in pedestrian traffic-- is compromised. I don't care about being recorded in public as it is 'assumed' with city public cctv that everyone is being monitored --one shouldn't be acting illegally, immorally, freely, or controversially anyway in the outside world-- that's what your private home is for. Though, i agree that 'safe/ private spaces' for people should be set-up - gyms, bars, clubs - restricted access areas -- where it is 'pre-agreed' that no recording devices be used be widespread - but not assumed - privacy in 'open' public is not a right but a privilege.
It may be possible to create a 'heads-up' quality system, like a fighter jet-- even to supplement your senses with collision warnings, etc. It's unclear how much off-wifi/ off-network content/interactivity/ stored content is available (movie in the subway would be great).
Point: effective/ polite VP use in public is certainly a skill to be learned, not natural or immediate -- but hopefully people will take the time to learn and become functional at it.

We shouldn't be too enthusiastic. Conservation, sustainability, responsibility are often terms that lead to complacency, risk-aversion, shunning of development and adventure, maintaining a fake link to some idyllic past that never existed. I haven't seen the values of this organization, but I am skeptical that it will embrace colonization and development of the Moon, asteroids, Mars, etc. More likely 'they' will want to create 'protected reserves' without extraction, reduced or limited tourism or business, and just a hands-off approach (maybe under the guise of checking to see if their is some 'life' to be protected). More Elon Musk alpha-adventurer, Less King Charles bleeding-heart virtue-signaller.
