#22I love how everything has to be a "revolutionary breakthrough" with apple. Wow the 73rd version of the 19th variation of the ipad gets better performance. What a break though.
It's amazing how Apple was able to get general public to be excited about things like "20% brighter display". Benefits of being rockstar I guess. But all rockstars get out of fashion...

While the wording is hyperbole, going from a A12 to an A15 is quite the performance bump.
And what will I be able to do with that performance bump? I use a tablet mostly for taking notes, email and looking at websites. I can’t see how the former can get any quicker. The latter is slow mostly because of the websites themselves. Will games or office apps get faster or have new possibilities?

"This is the best iphone we have ever made!"
Well, yeah, I hope so...

#25I will say, having USB C on my iPad is very nice. Now if only they would do it for the iPhone. After the CSAM stuff hit I switched back to Android and it's so nice to only need one cable for everything.
USB-C is a requirement on any device I buy these days.
The amount of annoyance at tracking down a micro-usb cable and plugging it in has surprised me more than I thought.

I'm not sure I follow your logic: Google is certainly less trustworthy than Apple if we're speaking about scanning your files.
And before you think I'm partial, I have no dog in this fight: I degoogled myself since last year and I don't own any Apple devices.
But if I had to choose between Google and Apple for my privacy I would go with Apple (without much illusions).

#27"All-screen design" seems like a stretch, the bezels are perceptibly large, maybe even more than usual because of the smaller screen they wrap around.

#28I have just noticed that they say “iPhone” not “the iPhone”, “the iPad”, “my iPad”. It’s as if they were talking about a person, such as “I’m using Hal”.
This is normal. E.g. cars are the same way. It's not "The Mustang" it is "Mustang".
It is? “The Mustang has a new engine this year” “I’m going to take the Mustang today” - those sentences sound very strange without “the”. Yet Apple does this consistently, referring to each product as a singular proper name (which sounds weird because, like cars, there are millions of them with many variations over the years all with the same name).

Quite an awkward endorsement for Android!
Especially weird (though understandable) because it's basically "Doesn't scan your device and send the information to a corporation and the government" when Android basically does that everywhere, all the time.
But Android does it for profit, Apple does it "for the children."

#30iPad mini features an all-screen design half inch bezel on all sides Removing the home button is not the same as making an all-screen design.
Well technically it is. The front is now screen only, regardless of the actual screen size. There is just nothing else on the front
