    A light sensor doesn't do... which btw Apple had in their computers to adjust display brightness since like forever.

    Nightshift is time dependent as it's only purpose is to elminate blue light at hours you should sleep.

    They don't R&D real hardware, they buy off the shelf components from Samsung, LG, et al, and then their engineers put them together.

    Really? Where in the Samsung, LG et al Catalogs can I find an A11x SoC, for example?

    Where is the TouchBar Display and Controller? Show me the Catalog page!

    And the SSD Controller in the 2016 MacBook Pros, where can I buy that?

    I could go on and on, and if I want to look back, there is Apple-Designed custom silicon clear back to the Apple ][ days...

    You talk a lot of shit there, buddy.
