The most-loved features were Touch ID, improved display and the smaller form-factor, while the most hated ones were the price, the loss of MagSafe and the all-USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 ports … Other popular features were the large Force Touch trackpad, the choice of Silver or Space Gray, louder speakers, 2nd-gen butterfly keyboard and PCIe SSDs in capacities up to 2TB. Other unpopular ones were CPU & GPU options – some feeling Apple should have waited for Kaby Lake – and battery-life....

When I walk into a movie theater to see an action movie, I don’t plan to analyze every little thing on the screen. I go to action movies to sit back, relax, and watch some rip-roaring action.

Both shows featured a small town with a vampire infestation and followed a female protagonist as she battled against the forces of darkness....

Throughout its almost 100 years as a company, Disney has amassed a huge amount of box office smashes, with many of these movies starring groundbreaking female leads.

The first thing people will notice: the 2nd gen iPhone will be about the same size and shape as the first gen. It will, of course, have 3G. And proper GPS! The most noticeable physical difference is back of the phone is no longer metal — the whole thing is glossy black, from top to bottom. The volume buttons are now chrome.
