Good riddance. I hope Apple incorporates Signal’s idea to have random bits of data as part of the app to make their tools even less reliable. 

Uhhhhh they also said they had no intentions of releasing an iPod with a screen because who would want to watch video on such a small screen 🙃 and if the center stage feature is such a BFD, why not put it on the iMac?? Seems like a no-brainer.

I wonder how this "new color balance feature" actually works and is it literally changing the TV''s settings, can it be disabled, does it restore to original settings when exited? My Sony Bravia XBR55A9G was professionally calibrated and I don't want my iPhone mucking with anything.

Hopefully this all happens on the box itself and not on the TV, similar to how you can calibrate an external monitor using your mac and not have to change settings on the TV. I also would imagine this is optional and not a mandatory feature. Time will tell.

it’s hard to have a backlit wireless keyboard without making it bulkier because of bigger batteries.

Having disassembled and repaired Apple laptops since the keyboard backlighting was introduced, this is just a blatantly false assumption. The actual technology required and power issues are incredibly miniscule, Apple is just stubborn. Why not add the Pro Display XDR articulating stand to the iMac, even as an option? Would make it so much more versatile, alas not because Apple is stuck in their ways.

The real kicker is the m1 chip going into the iPad meaning what is there to stop it from running macOS?

Duh. That’s the plan.
