  <p>Hardly mentioned, if at all, is the fact that one of the biggest complaints people had was the inability to get a MacBook Pro with 32GB of RAM. Also, the iMac Pro is not upgradable (at least for RAM) the way the current non-pro iMac is, which has a door on the back that you can pop open to access the RAM slots. So, who is going to buy a $5000 computer that you can only add extra RAM to (up to 128GB) by ripping the screen off? There's really no need to be building these purposefully un-user-serviceable computer.</p><p><br></p><p>And there's still no word on a revised Mac mini. Without updates to the Mac mini the only way to accomplish distributed builds for Apple software is by deploying iMacs and Macbooks. This is all pretty dumb.</p>

  <p>I'm a little late on chiming in but, you mentioned at 38:45 of the podcast, not being able to have the icons fill from the bottom forcing you to adjust your holding position of the phone. Apple made changes awhile back on that. Just tap twice (not click twice) on the home button and the screen drops down lower so you can click the icons. This also works throughout the phone including apps.</p><p><br></p><p>I found it most annoying before getting this function when I wanted to type in a url in any browser. I knew I wanted the larger phone when Apple super sized them but was worried about that issue.</p><p><br></p><p>I also have an Android phone for my company and really like being able to adjust the icon wherever I want on the screen because I can place my most used apps just above the "app" bar on the bottom.</p>
