Who is still storing passwords in plain text in 2018? Idiots, that’s who.
  
Facebook: oops, data we sold ended up in the wrong hands!
Twitter: hold my beer ...

Well, not Apple, for sure. High Sierra removed the need for a Root password entirely so there's no chance of that getting in the wrong hands... oh, hang on 

Size matters. I bought my SE for its size but the fact that it had a balanced subset of the then 'latest' technology was also important.

I shall buy a new SE if the size is right and it has a reasonable subset of 8/X technology. I am more likely to buy than some because I bought my SE when 64GB was the limit and I really needed/need more so that would be a big draw for me too (I won't consider a 128GB SE because that feels too late in the lifecycle).

Impatient now...

Still can't have a page with a different orientation in Pages. Still can't put citations in tables. Still have to manually add text boxes if you want to caption an image.

<snip> ...  after 9 years the Mac versions are still hobbled in an attempt to keep feature parity with iOS's versions. It's a shame there are so many features still missing from Pages, as it makes layout easy and documents look great.

I agree that the "new" iWork apps were a great step backwards on Mac and appeared to be a lowest common denominator approach. However, restoring the double page view* is a huge advance for Pages. I believe that you cannot design a multi-page document without being able to see the facing pages as the reader will see them; without that, Pages could only really design a page, not a document consisting of several pages. Now it can.

Combined with the previous restoration of text flow between linked text areas this gives me hope for continuing to use the app when Pages 4.3 (the "old" Pages) stops working (it's 32-bit so its days are numbered). More work is needed of course but this is a breakthrough day in my opinion.

*It's hiding under 'Zoom', as if to reinforce the comments on Apple's declining skill in UI design.

Sad day, great thinker and such tenacity to beat his illness for so long.

I don't think the target audience for this phone is the readers here. There are some that can't/don't want to use a smart phone and who would love a feature phone (like we used to have...). The key question for that audience is still likely to be ergonomics though: if that's right then the phone will find a market.
