 @ce72be9b Regarding the Lightning to USB C dongle. I’ve seen a lot of snark about this thing costing $30. But for the life of me I can’t figure out who this is for. I have never seen a hardwired Lightning cable. Have you heard from anyone who this adapter is for?

 @096d2c53 might be best just to hold off for a bit if you want the Apple experience. Seems they always launch battery packs a few months after the phones. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a new battery pack before the end of the year.

 @a6ff0b2b I vaguely remember this maybe coming up in some of your Photos rants. I have a fresh laptop that needs to pull down full resolution versions of a 500gb iCloud Photo Library. Do you know what state makes it go fastest? Sleeping, awake with photos open, awake with photos closed? Be a shame if they could just put a button that tells it to do everything ASAP.
