    Perhaps that is *why* Apple is moving (back?) to a 13" form-factor for the Retina MacBook? Intel's chips simply don't let them do two ports even if they wanted to, unless they eschew Thunderbolt completely. The Air-level CPUs do

    Still only ten PCIe 3.0 lanes, which probably doesn't bode well for multiple Thunderbolt 3 ports? (a TB3 port requires four, as does the internal SSD, right? Or maybe I can't math)

    AirPort Express LIVES! Today Apple has released a firmware update for its sadly discontinued wireless access point that adds AirPlay 2 support to speakers connected to the little white box’s audio port.

    📊 If Apple removed 3D Touch from all future iOS devices, would that bother you?

    Totally agree, but remember that this Springboard redesign was supposed to happen in iOS 12, and it was postponed so they could focus on quality We might be seeing some impact on the final products due to roadmaps not aligning. Kinda what happened with the original 12” iPad Pro

    "I always invoke 3D Touch by accident" "3D Touch is not discoverable" 🤷‍♂️ If you changed how icons are moved or deleted on SpringBoard, nobody would be complaining about 3D Touch at all. 3D Touch isn't the problem here

    i could see it removed _after_ a SpringBoard redesign. but that puts it with iOS 13 and 2019 phones, not next month. if in the works, that could explain rumors.

    A lot of the issues people have with 3D Touch would be solved by replacing Share App with Delete App

    If you were to nix 3D Touch, you'd have to relocate (or remove, a la iPad) SpringBoard shortcuts & widgets, and view controller previewing & context menus. You'd only be left with a longpress you'd have to overload with features, which doesn't make moving icons any easier

    On the other hand, there may be indicators that 3D Touch hasn't worked out as expected: it's still not on iPad, for instance, nor the iPhone SE (which is still in the lineup). I don't know if anybody would miss it if it were dropped on macOS, either

    3D Touch didn't appear out of nowhere, it was worked on for many years before it was introduced and forms a key part of contextual & haptic design on iOS. It sounds ridiculous to remove it just because some people have difficulty moving icons around

    I don't believe rumors of 'no 3D Touch' coming from component suppliers. Seems far more likely that they've figured out new way to do 3D Touch that doesn't require heavy back plate, thus making viable on iPad. The answer to user problems is 'disable by default', like right-click

    So the consumer iPhone screen resolution is going to be Plus-layout? Hmm

    KGI’s screen resolution for 6.1-inch is 1792x828. The 6.5-inch is 2688x1242. So that’s very conveniently 896x414@3x and 896x414@2x — so both phones would show the same amount of content, just at different pixel densities.
