Except when the next process was coming in two years, you work on that because it halves your marignal cost so you never get the opportunity to do the one-time non-recurring engineering for design and process improvements. For the lead vehicle on an Intel process, for example, there was typically less than 1Q to tape-in once test chip data was available.
You can't choose to slow down to do that work because your competition will just beat you to market with whatever they can get working on their process. Now, everyone has to slow down their process shifts so doing design refinements becomes viable.

I have a projector that is currently throwing a roughly 85" diagonal image. When I hold up my phone about a foot away it completely blocks the screen and has roughly the same number of pixels.
It's been years since they've fused off working units to get a lower SKU since everybody is supply constrained on the high end. But what they will do is take the four core die with two out of spec cores and package that as a two core SKU.
The number keypads on drive-up ATMs still have bump on the '5' key so you can find i by touch even though to get there you would have to be able to drive to get there. It's a huge savings in stock tracking and inventory to just use they same keypad everywhere.
This is not a revelation, since any seller would like to sell new phones to everyone. There is no evidence that Apple is trying to force this more so than anyone else, and they obviously recognize that they cannot magically convert every sale of a used iPhone into a sale of a new iPhone since they themselves sell used iPhones. A healthy market in used goods support higher first sale prices.
"Most of the recycling problem would be solved by people disabling their iCloud service before donating."
This is not a revelation, and does not help address the problem of devices that are donated without this having been done.
"How about a campaign geared toward recycling phones?"
This is not a revelation, since this is what the whole damn article is about.
"why the judge went through the legal gymnastics either"
A judge can rule on the specific charges brought*. If the prosecutor brought a charge of distracted driving but did not bring a charge of wearing headphones while driving, the judge can only rule on distracted driving.
*: If specifically included in law in specific jurisdictions, it may be that a charge automatically carries all lesser component charges i.e. a burglary charge may automatically include a theft charge and a breaking and entering charge, so that if some but not all components are proven the lesser charges may still stand. On the other hand, there are cases where the prosecutor could explicitly include the lesser charges. There is a concept of overcharging where a prosecutor fails to include the appropriate lesser charges and winds up losing everything.

You're folding it wrong
I am old enough to remember when there was no opposition party, just the KMT.
The KMT's position is that they are the masters, and that it is the mainland that is in rebellion.
QCOM is up 12.25%, but INTC is also up 3.26%. AAPL up 1.95%.
you wouldn't like him when he's angry!
That's The Mouse's secret, Captain. He's always angry.

The US dollar is literally their legal tender.
So what you're saying is that Assange selectively releases information depending on what is personally beneficial and who he is and is not allied with?
Turns out, even Intel has been emulating x86 for the past 24 years.

Nobody has a excess of top bin parts these days.

That's just what they want you to believe.

Or they may have written concise code with few errors that required revising.
You're gonna need to defrag afterwards, at the very least.

Those are bundles, which are literally the opposite of unbundling.
'What I celebrate most in YouTube is the death of the channel. I've never "subscribed" to one damn thing.'
YouTube has been based on channels that you subscribe to for as long as I can remember. That's not much of a death.
