So... just pulled the trigger on an iPad Pro... and played around with the wife's iPhone 6 - and found the typing to be way better... Won't be needing two oversized devices [ :) ], so will probably fall back to the 6S... hopefully will be easier to find stock as well...

I had missed the storyline referred to in the link where a court had found Samsung guilty of stealing IP that covered the TSMC FinFET process.

Taiwan’s top court has ruled that former TSMC R&D director Liang Mong-song revealed to Samsung trade secrets that enabled it to copy the chipmaker’s FinFET manufacturing processes, reports DigiTimes. The processes are used by both companies to produce the A9 chips used in the upcoming new iPhones.

It was recently suggested that Apple was playing off the two companies against each other, with Samsung reportedly offering discounted prices in order to “grab the majority of A9 chip orders.”

The ruling of the second-instance court was according to an analysis conducted by third-party experts regarding key manufacturing processes of TSMC and Samsung […]

“The 16nm and 14nm FinFET products that both companies will mass produce this year were even more alike,” the report indicated. “It could be hard to tell (if the product) came from Samsung or TSMC if only structural analysis is used.”

Liang resigned from TSMC to take up a position at a Samsung sponsored university where all the students were said to be Samsung employees.

As Patently Apple notes, the penalty for passing on the trade secrets hardly acts as a deterrent: Liang has merely been banned from working for Samsung for a period of four months.

How hilarious:

https://www.reddit.com/r/jailbreak/comments/458ao3/discussion_changing_time_date_settings_to_jan_1/

TL/DR:

When the date of a 64-bit iOS device is set to January 1, 1970, the device will fail to boot.
Connecting the device to iTunes and restoring the device to factory defaults will not put the device back in working order. Instead, a physical repair is required. When connected to public Wi-Fi, iPhone calibrates its time settings with an NTP server. Attackers can set send malicious NTP requests to adjust every iPhone's time settings to January 1, 1970, hence brick every iPhone connected to the same network.

I was intrigued by here maps initially but it never stuck - the ease of use with Chrome / Google maps on phone is just such a big win. Plus, Google Maps now offer offline areas as well doesn't it?

I should add that I am in Oman and cross into Emirates every week or so and Here is perfect with the offline navigation because I don't have a local sim card. I really can't be bothered with Google and downloading areas etc. Here just works perfectly.

This. Use Here exclusively for when I'm overseas - offline maps might not have the most recent information, but great for navigating when all you really need to know is where you are, and where you plan on heading to. No doubt saved me a tonne of data costs, and with the ZAR being where it is at the moment, every little bit helps!

In case they are not available in offline search, do all my searching online in the app before I leave and the destinations are saved automatically.
