Ordered!  I currently carry a Sandisk extreme SSD and its cable as a habit in case I feel like editing some photos or videos in my down time.

My decidedly non techie neighbors, parents, in laws truly don’t care. They use maybe a couple of apps and text and that’s it. They’re on 7s and 8s and had ZERO interest in spending more than 400 bucks on the phone. 

I am furious about this issue.  I'll be even more furious if I ever notice it.

Not at all sure what it has to do with the CPU, but there is kinda a point about the dongle debacle.

You know, other than the fact that there are all USB-C Windows laptops, and Intel was instrumental in the development of the physicality and protocol of the connector.

Besides that, still no. Computer users have been adapting since day one, and will continue to do so forever. 

We are all victims of design choices or lack thereof, made 25 years ago, that have probably cost untold millions (billions?) of man-hours in lost productivity.  Billions of missed plugs every day, 5-10 seconds lost each is a lot of stupid time lost.

I realize we sort of have to do the Dongle Dance but I appreciate the sentiment in just wanting to force everybody to go USB-C.  If it were up to the PC bunch we would never lose USB-A, and probably would have taken even longer to get rid of Floppies and ROM drives

If this is true, I'd be a little disappointment that the Pro models are starting with a 6.1" screen and therefore enclosure. The 5.8" screen on the X, XS and 11 Pro were great. Those who wanted a larger screen could go to the Max versions.

I and others believe its the same outer dimensions but display pushed out even further
