oo Goo Dolls Ready 'Darker' New Album
For their ninth studio album, Goo Goo Dolls guitarist Robby Takac described the album as having a darker sound during a recent interview with Alternative Addiction.
"You never know how a record is going to do commercially. This record's a little dark, but times are a little dark right now," Takac said. "It's about a glimmer of hope, and I feel like that really comes across on this record."
The title of the album, Something for the Rest of Us, is actually quite appropriate considering the album is inspired by the struggles that so many Americans have faced with the economic downturn in the past few years.
"The tone of the record was very much guided by ourselves, and that made the process pretty organic," explained Takac who admitted the recording process for this album was much different than their previous session for Let Love In with producer Glen Ballard.
"We had a little bit more control over what the record sounded like this time than we did the last time. And I am a big fan of our last record, I am not bashing it, but I think there was a lot of Glen Ballard's personality interjected into that record. I think this one is much more pure."
With a near four year hiatus, Takac says he's just excited to have new music ready to be released.
"It's exciting because it's all ahead of us now. We have done so much just sitting around for the last three years getting this record done, waiting for people to be available, so it's really nice to be active now."
The timing for the release might turn out to be perfect, as Takac believes that many music fans are yearning for something with a bit more substance that much of the music that is played on radio today.
"This is a really great time for us to take a step out with some real music again," said Takac. "There is a lot of prefab stuff that is out there right now that people are getting fed, I think it's a really great time for this kind of record again."
Something for the Rest of Us is slated for a late June or early July release according to Takac, which will be followed by a North American arena tour with Switchfoot and another band to be announced. A European tour is also in the works for later this fall.
At all the shows on the tour, the band has again teamed with USA Harvest to collect canned goods for local food banks at each stop on the tour. The band encourages all their fans to bring canned goods to donate at all their tour dates.

Brogans Lane was an infamous track off Little Bourke Street. It was not named, or at least was unnamed on maps, in 1895 and 1915, but was occupied by cabinetmakers Ah Jawl and Ah Tawt in 1900. Police records state that a Mary Wilson was charged with vagrancy in Brogans Lane on 9 December 1892. Wilson had accosted a young girl, Mary Glew, and taken her into Brogan's Lane where 'a bunch of larrikins' were loitering. Luckily, a man named Fisher living in Little Bourke Street knew that Wilson was 'a bad character' and called the police. The Argus report of this incident affirmed that Brogan's Lane was 'inhabited by the lowest classes'. Around this time, poet Louis Esson drew a vibrant description of the lane in his poem of the same name.


Post-Election, Conversations About Race 'Sparked A New Sense Of Urgency' : Code Switch Washington Post reporter Wesley Lowery talks about race in the Obama presidency and under President-elect Trump. Lowery was part of a Pulitzer Prize-winning team for reporting about police shootings.
New York police officers block the street during a protest against U.S. President-elect Donald Trump in front of Trump Tower on Nov. 12, 2016 in New York. Americans spilled into the streets Saturday for a new day of protests against Trump, even as he appeared to back away from the fiery rhetoric that propelled him to the White House.
Lowrey, whose new book is called They Can't Kill Us All, covered unrest after a police shooting in Ferguson, Mo., and the death of Freddie Gray who'd been arrested in Baltimore.
I think the conversations we're having today about race and will continue to be having about race have sparked a new sense of urgency. One thing that was remarkable about the election of President Obama was that he did so with a rhetoric and with an ideal that we were not a divided America. It's fundamental to his ideology of American exceptionalism. What's been remarkable is that Donald Trump ran on an ideology and a platform that we are in fact a divided America, that there is an us vs. them, that we need to take something back from people who have seized it from us. It speaks in many ways to the Newtonian every-action-has-an-equal-and-opposite-reaction [law].
That is not unlike the conversation we've had on race for the entirety of our history. When you go back ... and read interviews [about the lynchings of black people by white mobs] of the white residents who lived in the town that had just lynched a black man the day before, it was the media that didn't understand them: This wasn't really about race. Why is no one upset about the crime that guy committed? Why is everyone upset that we strung him up in the town square? These have been the contours of our conversation for the entirety of our existence because, as the president himself says very often, our American existence is very largely premised on an original sin of slavery. We have baked in these ideas to the fundamental structures of our society.
President Obama himself was never going to be someone to usher in that type of post-racial reality. That wasn't something that was ever going to happen, and I think that part of our fallacy of understanding and thinking was expecting that in the first place.
I don't accept the premise. To begin with, what we know is that human beings harbor prejudice. I think one of the fundamental battle lines in this conversation is: Do you believe that racism requires intent or do you believe that racism is about the outcome, the effect, that if a policy has the effect of racism, of creating a racial disparity, is that accurately described as racist – or does it require someone actively desiring to oppress a certain group of people? I think that is a part of this battle line we've seen. We see a lot of white Americans and certainly Trump supporters who would argue, "No, I don't have hate in my heart for people who aren't like me." And you see the left — and largely the Black Lives Matter protest movement and many of the forces that have been driving this conversation for eight years under Obama — who would argue that no, racism and prejudice are what occurs when, whether intentional or not, a structure or system is put in place that leaves one group of people behind.
"I voted twice for Barack Obama and Trayvon Martin is still dead. I canvassed for Barack Obama, the Charleston Nine are still dead, Dylan Roof still shot up that church." These are the types of things we heard from ... activists and demonstrators [while researching the book].
There are certainly activists who didn't vote in 2016, because I think that there's a grapple: How do you effect change and what does political power look like? One of the things that I think is remarkable is this idea that a black presidency showed us the limitations of a black presidency. Of course a black presidency couldn't usher us in a post-racial world, we now deeply understand, but we couldn't comprehend the limitation upfront.

Our apple watch series 2 deals help you choose the right model and the color of your choice at the best price online. The watch works on S2 Dual-core processor, 512MB RAM and 8GB of storage space. It comes in two unique sizes of 38mm and 42mm case. You can choose between case materials of aluminium with sports band, stainless steel with the genuine leather band, and white ceramic with sports band. Water resistance is to a depth of 50 meters.
If your wrist size is between 130 and 200mm the recommended watch size is 32mm. For higher wrist size you may choose the 42mm model. Regardless of the model you choose, it fits onto your wrist comfortably. The digital crown on the watch case helps you control all the crucial functions of the watch for time/date, calendar, communication and connectivity, and the fitness and health apps.
Extended battery life, SIRI integration, iPhone compatibility, and efficient sensors are some of the primary features supported by the Apple S2 Watches. They come in a vast range of case colors from gray, black, silver, gold and more. We suggest you read through the technical and functional specifications of the watches before you choose to take up our best apple watch series 2 deals.
The aluminum case watch comes in two sizes of 38mm (38.6mm HX33.3mm WX11.4mm D and 28.2g weight) and 42mm (42.5mm HX36.4mm WX11.4mm D and 34.3g weight). It has high resistance to heat, humidity, moisture and the elements. It has a minimalist design with a color range of gray, black, white and gold.
The dimensions of 38mm size and the 42mm size are the same as an aluminum material. Only the eight varies with the 38mm size weighing 41.8 grams and 42mm size weighing 52.4 grams. The resistance factors are the same.
The dimensions of the White ceramic case are slightly bigger for the 38mm size (39.2mm H X 34mm W X 11.8mm D with 39.6 grams weight) and the 42mm size (42.6mmH X 36.5mm W X 11.4mm D with 45.6 grams weight). Resistance factors are the same as aluminum.
Processor: The S2 dual-core processor mounted onto the watch works efficiently to deliver the output for connectivity, processing, and data analysis applications. You can run a vast range of generic, fitness, and health apps on the watch without having to depend on the iPhone. It can run 60frames per second with multi-platform support, multi-browser compatibility, high-resolution display, and faster calculations and processing speed. It can run multiple apps on the go.
It supports high bandwidth Wifi connection, speedier GPS connectivity and real-time Bluetooth communication with the iPhone 5 to 10 series. It is aptly supported by 512MB RAM for enhancing the processing efficiency. With 8 GB of storage space, you can download and install a vast range of apps from the Apple online store.
Battery: The Apple S2 Watch has an embedded lithium-Ion battery with a capacity to run for 18 hours after full charging. It works in energy saving mode when idle and consumes minimum power while active and running. You can charge the battery with a wireless pad or on the standard dock.
Screen: The touch-screen system has a resolution of 319X390-pixel with 305PPI density. It can display high definition 2D and 3D graphical charts to the maximum precision. Line and bar charts are the most efficient types of display for data analysis you get to see on the screen.
Moreover, the screen offers multiple faces with color combinations, designs, and functional features. The brightness of the screen with Anti-glare glass allows you to see the display with crystal clear clarity. It works with a tap, multi-touch, and force-touch panel. The functionality of force-touch depends on the amount of pressure you exert on the screen.
Screen-protector: The ION-X glass protection (for the aluminum case) is highly resistant to scratches, impact, pressure, and water to a depth of 50meters. The curvature shape of the glass enables clear display of all the screen parts to your view, no matter how you tilt your wrist while seeing.
Pixel brightness of the screen coupled with accurate light refracting nature of the glass gives you the clearest display during day and night. The clarity and brightness will continue to be efficient even a water depth of 50 meters.
For the Stainless steel and Ceramic cases, the protection glass is made of Sapphire crystal. It has similar properties of scratch and impact resistance. Moreover, it has a healing property for your eyes with its soft molecular structure that refracts light into your retina at the right angles.
Watch-Faces: The Apple S2 watch supports multiple faces for time and date, heart rate, calendar, map display, weather forecast, activity tracking, running, cycling, world clock, and plenty of other features. It allows you add a vast range of themes into a single face. You can change the back color, font size and color, theme designs, and other objects on the face according to your requirements.
Multi-theme faces can show you more than one feature on the same screen. For example, you may get to see the date, time and the heart rate with shortcuts to the fitness and health apps. The default watch screen has many shortcuts for the watch and extended operations. You can also add your own shortcuts from the control panel menu.
SIRI: SIRI is a highly useful feature which works to give you real-time data and information about almost all the topics you can imagine. It has a clear interface with the microphone and speaker. You can dictate your command starting with "Hi SIRI", followed by your requirement. You can talk in simple English or choose from tens of global languages offered by the watch.
The system supports multiple accents with the nativity of the language from almost all the global continents. For example, it supports 13 accents of English, 3 accents of German, and 2 versions of Chinese Mandarin. Similarly, it can support the other languages in multiple versions and accents.
Apart from providing information, SIRI can make calls through iPhone, activate reminders, read and reply to messages, identify numbers, and perform complex calculations. It can also display schedules from tour calendar, give you tips on nutrition and workout and help you with many other features on your watch and iPhone.
Digital-Crown: The digital crown on Apple S2 Watch can play multiple roles. You can activate it by scrolling, tapping, pressing, and holding. It allows you to change faces, choose commands and apps, activate SIRI, switches between apps and performs many other operations on the command and menu.
Side-Button: You can customize the side-button of the Apple S2 watch for activating apps, executing commands, and making apple pay.
Timer: The Apple S2 Watch has an inbuilt timer app for setting the countdown from the current time to the duration of your choice in hours and minutes. The watch gives you an option to pause or stop the timer at any time. The system generates an alert at the end of the timer.
Chronograph: The chronograph app on the Apple S2 Watch is a useful feature for stopwatch functions in hours, minutes, and seconds. It can show you an accuracy of the 1/0th second with its digital display. The best practice is to create a distinct watch face with the chronograph window and save it to the library collection. You can use the feature whenever you need it.
Phone Connectivity: The Apple S2 Watch can connect to your iPhone through the Bluetooth-4 interface. It can combine voice, text, and video features of the watch with the iPhone. The device can handle data at a speed of 2GHZ speed using the ISM band. The link will continue to work even when the connection has no data flow between the two systems.
Power consumption is very low even when the data flow speed is at the peak. You can use the device to transfer higher size files between your iPhone and the Apple S2 Watch. Moreover, it can also connect you to the internet at a reliable speed.
GPS: Apple S2 Watch has an inbuilt GPS-GLONASS connectivity hardware. It can connect you to the nearest satellite all over the globe. Hence, the relevance of data you get for the present geographical location is very high. You can get to know the local maps, weather conditions and forecasts, city road map, traffic conditions, and other related details instantly.
The GPS system can also assist you in your running and walking route mapping. It measures the accurate distances between the origin and destination along any route you may choose. It can also mark the intermediate lap points. You can save the map by giving it a distinct name.
The system can link it to your running and walking workouts. Speed, acceleration, time, and the distance between the laps and the total distance calculations become simple and streamlined.

Weather-Forecast: Apple S2 Watch has an inbuilt weather app for detecting the current temperature, atmospheric pressure, precipitation, and the other related conditions. The default city will be your present location. You may choose any city of your choice and add it to the app.
The system can create a unique watch face for showing the weather conditions. The app can also display the weather forecast for the next day, and a week with the data from satellites. The biggest advantage of using this app is the connectivity to the nearest and the farthest satellite with GPS and GLONASS to gather and display accurate data in real time.
Voice-Over: The Apple S2 Watch has the inbuilt feature for Voice-over (used instead of touch-screen when the screen is not visible). The system can follow your voice commands and perform the necessary actions. It can also read the output through the speaker.
You have to pair the watch with your iPhone for making the feature work efficiently. You can access the phone functions, notifications, mail, music, and many other watch functions without any hassles.
Our Apple Watch Series 2 Deals give you the best options for accessing the fitness and health apps on the watch. The inbuilt functions include the workout, Runtastic, calorie counter, Pokey Yoga, and Endomondo, etc. These apps can interact with the various sensors on the watch to give you information about the heart rate, breath rate, calories, steps, speed, distance, and other health and activity related parameters.
Heart rate is the primary parameter for monitoring and measuring your fitness and health conditions. The system has an advanced heart rate sensor which detects the pulse in real time. The delay between the reading and display is less than one second.
Hence, you can view real-time data on the screen. You can add the heart rate display onto the home screen. You can also create a new watch face and add the display along with the other related functions. Once you open the face, the system displays all the data related to specific activities in real time.
The breath app on Apple Watch Series 2 watch is a guide for monitoring and controlling your breathing frequency, depth, and the oxygen consumption per minute. The breath app screen gives you the option to set the session for a specific time according to your choice. Enter all the required parameters and start.
The main benefits of using the breath app are stress relief. You can follow the on-0screen animation of the app for inhaling and exhaling. It takes you step-by-step from shallow and light breathing to deep and full breathing in many sessions. The other benefits of the breath app are reduced anxiety, enhanced focus, and a relaxed body and mind.
Heart rate zone monitoring in the Apple S2 Watch can track the rate in multiple zones. The mildest intensity starts with 100BPM-110BPM. The next zones are 111BPM-130BPM, 131BPM-150BPM, 151BPM-170BPM, and 171-BPM-190+BPM. They show the increase in training intensity, volume of oxygen consumption, fat and calories burning, and the other activity parameters.
The system can combine this data with the heart rate and breathe app to calculate the zone rating details. The system shows four distinct color codes for the rate zones and measures the time you spend in each zone. Then it gives you the rating in percentage.
Calories-tracking is an inbuilt app which is also an indicator of the intensity of muscle workouts while running, cycling; swimming, rowing, and performing the other forms of physical workouts. This data can be useful when you are working out to burn fat and reduce weight. You can set specific targets for calories burning for individual sessions, day, week, and month.
The system calculates the sum of calories burnt in a day which includes all the sporting, fitness, and every activity. It can also include the data from the resting period. Then it compares the data with your target and analyses your progress. If it finds any deviation from the target, you get an alert along with the gap analysis data. You can view it in the form of statistical data and graphical formats.
Recovery is the time required for your heart rate and physical conditions to normalize from the state of fatigue and stress. Your body muscles can stretch and strain to an extent called the threshold limit. Then the performance level naturally dips. The task of determining the threshold limit is not as easy as it can vary. It depends on the fitness and health conditions, nutrition consumption, breathing rate, and related factors.
The Apple S2 Watch has an inbuilt app which can detect the parameters of fatigue and stress of your muscles based on heart rate, calories, and oxygen consumption. The intelligent system can detect these parameters after analyzing the series of data input over a period. Then it saves the data related to the threshold limits.
Whenever your body reaches the saved levels, it generates an alert. It can also calculate the recovery time you need to spend resting. Then you can resume your workout activities.
The Apple S2 Watch app can calculate the nutrition requirements per day based on the heart rate, calories, oxygen consumption, and the activity data. The app can also break down the data into smaller units of calories, proteins, vitamins, and micronutrients.
You can take the help of SIRI to find the best diet plan which can fulfill the nutrition requirements for a specific day. The app can also prepare a complete meal plan for a specific period. You can choose from veggies, meat, seafood, fruits, and supplements.
Once you start tracking the progress, the system can suggest improvement ideas based on the progress you make. If it is moving towards your target, the system increases your rating. If it is moving away, the system can suggest the changes to be made for performance improvement.
The Apple S2 Watch has a vast range of apps for tracking and measuring your running programs. You may use them for weight loss programs, fitness, sprint running, marathon running, triathlon, and other athletics.
Your first task will be to create a program with specific targets within a time span. For example, you may choose marathon training for 30 days @ 4 hours-session per day. Here, you can set targets for heart rate, zone, calories, steps, speed, distance, and other parameters. You can choose the monitoring period for a session. The system can keep track of these parameters and display the data at the end of the session.
By extending the tracking to several sessions, the system can keep track of all the data in its database. Then it generates the reports for your fitness and health improvements for a week and month. It can use the permutations and combinations of the parameters to generate 2-D and 3-D graphs. The apps on the watch can have SIRI integration to make tracking and reporting simple and fast.
The Apple S2 Watch app can keep track of your heart rate accurately during swimming sessions. It is due to the accuracy and the sensitiveness of the sensor mounted onto the watch case-back.
The system can create a unique Swim program with a name. You can specify the parameters like load workout, pool data, and the open water. It can track the heart rate, calories, oxygen-intake, strokes, and related parameters. You can also choose the types of stokes like the butterfly, back, breast, and the freestyle modes.
You may find the inbuilt apps which may fulfill your needs to a specific extent. Then you can download and install third-party apps. The Apple S2 watch has an excellent feature for integrating and supporting many such apps.
By connecting the Apple S2 Watch with your iPhone, it is possible to detect the cycling workout intensity and related parameters. By default, the watch can measure the heart rate, calories, and the rotational movement of leg and thigh muscles with the accelerometer and the related sensors. Then it calculates the cycling workout intensity.
You can use the cycling app for fitness programs or marathon training sessions. The app has a unique interface for you to input the targets. Save the settings and create a watch face. Open the program and tap on start before your cycling session.
The app will continue to track and record the data for the session which may run for X minutes or hours. At the end of every session you can get the data in the form of statistical tables and graphical charts.
Weekly and monthly reports can help you measure your progress with reference to the set targets. The advantage of the app is its evaluation of individual parameters. For example, it can compare the calories data for a week between the target and the actual. Then it generates a line graph and shows the variation. Similarly, it can also show the cumulative data in the form of charts.
The Apple S2 watch can track many forms of physical workouts which involve the rotation and stretching of muscles are involved. The system can detect these parameters when you use the elliptical machines, weight-training machines, rowing machine, and even the Gyroscope workout machine.
The data related to heart rate, calories and the other workout related parameters help you in evaluating your performance. By setting the targets for every form of exercise, you can measure your progress towards goal achievements.
Sleep monitoring is a complex process which considers the heart rate and muscle movement detection during the resting period. It also involves the variation in nervous vibrations and the waves generated by the internal organs like the cardiovascular system.
The Apple S2 Watch can detect these vibrations with the help of sensors mounted onto it. Then it can differentiate the data like heart rate, calories, eye movement, muscle movement, and others. The app has the inbuilt features for sleep data generated during the five cycles.
At the end of your sleeping cycle, the system generates data about duration of restful sleep, disturbed sleep, wakefulness, etc. You can also set targets for the sleep cycles. Then the system compares the targets with actual data continuously. The gap analysis between the two will generate the unique graphical representations.
The personal workout guide app on the Apple S2 Watch can provide a vast range of information about changes in the workout patterns, training methods, nutrition, and other related parameters you need to make. It can alert when your body reaches the threshold limits. It can suggest improvements when the gap between target and progress becomes critical. It can also connect you to SIRI for voice interaction.

Q: Expectation inequality for a set and its subset. Given that a function $g(x)$ is a monotone increasing function. Its domain is an interval [c,d]. There are two sets $a_j \in A, j= 1,...,J$ and $b_k \in B,k=1,...,K$  on this interval, which satisfy $c_z \in C = B$\A and $c_z \geq a_j$ for all $a_j \in A$. For example, the interval $[c,d]=[0,8]$,$A=\{0,1,2,3,4,5\}$ and $B=\{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7\}$. In this case, does the following inequality hold? If yes, could you give me some hints to prove that?
$$\frac{1}{K} \sum_{k=1}^{K}g(b_k) \geq \frac{1}{J} \sum_{j=1}^{J}g(a_j)$$

A: No. Take $g(x)=x$, $[c,d]=[0,1]$, $A=\{1\}$ and $B=\{0,1\}$
then
$$\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{K} \sum_{k=1}^{K}g(b_k) < \frac{1}{J} \sum_{j=1}^{J}g(a_j)=1.$$
On the other hand, if you assume that if $b\in B\setminus A$ then $b>\mu:=\frac{1}{|A|}\sum_{a\in A}g(a)$, it follows
$$\frac{1}{|B|} \sum_{b\in B}g(b)=\frac{1}{|B|} \sum_{a\in A}g(a)+\frac{1}{|B|} \sum_{b\in B\setminus A}g(b)\\
>\frac{|A|}{|B|} \cdot \mu+\frac{1}{|B|} \sum_{b\in B\setminus A}\mu
=\frac{|A|}{|B|} \cdot \mu+\frac{|B|-|A|}{|B|} \cdot \mu=\frac{1}{|A|}\sum_{a\in A}g(a).$$

After the cultural phenomenon that was Get Out, Jordan Peele's second outing has had a lot to live up too. Us shares a lot of the same DNA as its predecessor yet feels like its own film, proving that Peele is far from a one-hit-wonder.
What follows is one of the most well-crafted horror films seen in years. Us works on a multitude of levels, but first and foremost the film is scary. From Michael Abels' haunting score (and the genius remix of I Got 5 on It) to Mike Gioulakis' stunning cinematography, the film on a technical level is incredible. Peele proves once again just how talented of a writer he is. Just like his Oscar winning Get Out, his screenplay for Us is layered with callbacks, foreshadowing and a perfect blend of horror, suspense and genuine humour. Not only that, but his direction is also hard to fault as the film's obsession with mirror images is reflected throughout.
The family dynamic feels genuine thanks to some great performances all around, (Winston Duke shines as the comic relief in Gabe) but it's Lupita Nyong'o who steals the show as Adelaide. The way she conveys trauma, fear and even guilt through her eyes is extraordinary. It's a layered performance which has more nuance upon multiple viewings. It's fantastic to see a horror film led by a woman of colour as Nyong'o, six years after winning her Oscar, gets her first leading role. Nyong'o is somehow even better as Adelaide's double, Red. The way Red moves and carries herself is so distinct, but it's her voice that is already iconic. She gives a masterclass in playing a protagonist and antagonist, often in the very same scene.
Whilst the film is entertaining enough to work as a popcorn flick, similar to Get Out, the film is rich in satirical subtext, albeit a little deeper under the surface. Already audiences are debating what Us is actually about, as the flexibility of its central premise lends the film incredibly well to interpretation and debate. It could easily be read as a critique of capitalism, revisionist history, class, gender, race, masculinity and the ways that trauma affects us. But most of all, the film is about America. When asked what the doppelgängers are, they respond "we're Americans." Even the title of the film can be read as U.S.
Although I predict that certain ambiguous elements in the film, as well as a few creative choices in the third-act, may alienate some viewers, Us is another smash hit from the man many are already dubbing the next Hitchcock. He's not the next Hitchcock, he's the first Jordan Peele.

Extending Article 50: what will be the price?
by Martin Howe
Martin Howe
Key points:-
An Article 50 extension to a date after 2 July 2019 would likely mean there would have to be European Parliament elections held in the UK in June, and that the MEPs elected would then sit for the following 5 years, regardless of when the UK leaves the EU. The EU will be very reluctant to grant such an extension.
A shorter extension ending before 2 July 2019 would only allow a maximum of 3 more weeks of effective negotiating time, because the European Parliament will rise on 18 April 2019 before its elections. Any Withdrawal Agreement must therefore be ratified by the European Parliament before that date.
Any request for an Article 50 extension will make the UK a supplicant. It is likely that onerous conditions will be imposed, whether by the EU collectively or by individual Member States — each of whom has a veto. Spain is likely to demand permanent concessions over Gibraltar, and Germany may want to lock in the UK's obligation to pay £39bn under the Withdrawal Agreement.
Any extension request would seriously damage the UK's negotiating position and let the EU off the hook in demanding changes to the Withdrawal Agreement.
The assumption that we only have to "ask and it will be granted unto us"
From various quarters, whispers or even open calls are growing for an extension to the UK's Article 50 period: which finishes, unless extended, on 29 March 2019. Most of those talking about an Article 50 extension seem to assume that the UK only has to ask for such an extension, and it will be granted unto us.
However, the European Union is not the beneficent Lord mentioned in the gospel according to St Matthew chapter 7, verse 7 (the Sermon on the Mount), and confidence that the EU will just grant any extension that the UK asks of them is likely to prove very misplaced.
The so-called "Cooper-Boles amendment" (amendment (b)), which was defeated in the House of Commons on 29 January 2019 by 321 to 298 votes, seems to be based on such an assumption. This sought to pave the way for a Bill which would impose a legal duty on the Prime Minister to "seek an extension of the period of two years specified in Article 50(3) of the Treaty on European Union to a period ending on 31 December 2019", or to such other date as the House of Commons might decide on a future motion.
The legalities of an Article 50 extension
But let us look at the legalities both of how an Article 50 extension can be granted, and the legal effects of such an extension. It is important to understand both in order to assess the likely reaction of the European Union and its Member States to an Article 50 extension request from the UK.
The governing provision is the closing words (italicised below) of Article 50(3) of the Treaty on European Union:
3. The Treaties shall cease to apply to the State in question from the date of entry into force of the withdrawal agreement or, failing that, two years after the notification referred to in paragraph 2 [i.e. 29 March 2019], unless the European Council, in agreement with the Member State concerned, unanimously decides to extend this period."
The effect of an extension if granted is to postpone the UK's date of exit from the European Union, so that the whole panoply of rights and obligations of EU membership would continue to apply to the UK as a Member State during the extended period. So the UK's obligation to pay into the EU budget would automatically be extended. But most importantly in view of its political repercussions, both the right of the UK to be represented by MEPs in the European Parliament and its obligation to choose them by direct elections would continue to apply to the UK.
On the face of it, this means that if an extension takes us past May, the UK must then hold a fresh round of European Parliament elections. There is a little bit of wriggle room, in that if the extension period terminates before the new European Parliament assembles on 2 July 2019, such elections could be avoided as pointless. But if the extension is beyond that date, it is very difficult so see how the elections could be avoided.
That would mean that Nigel Farage would be re-elected to the European Parliament, probably in present circumstances as part of an increased phalanx of members of his new Brexit party. And the EU's internal legal advice is apparently that once elected, the UK MEPs would be entitled to remain members of the European Parliament for the rest of their 5 year terms, regardless of when the UK leaves the EU. This would completely up-end the political agreements which have been reached for the sharing out of the seats which (it had been assumed) would be vacated by the UK in the European Parliament.
This is a huge spanner in the works for any Article 50 extension longer than 3 months. No doubt the 'creative law-bending' departments of the EU would be hard at work to think of ways round this problem, but at the moment it looks like a formidable difficulty.
But another problem arises if an extension is for 3 months or less – say to 29 June. It is not possible to treat such an extension as a "more of the same" extended negotiating period. This is because the current European Parliament term will end on 18 April 2019 prior to the European Parliament elections. Article 50(2) requires that the European Parliament must consent to any Withdrawal Agreement before the EU can conclude it.
So at most, an extension to the Article 50 period which stops short of 2 July would allow merely an extra 3 weeks for an agreement to be finalised and concluded.
As to how an Article 50 extension is granted, it should be noted that this requires the unanimous consent of each EU27 Member State within the European Council. This is actually a more stringent rule than for an Article 50 agreeement to be concluded, which can be done by Qualified Majority Vote (QMV).
The effect of this requirement is to place enormous power in the hands of each individual Member State which may have demands it wants to make. If the UK comes crawling along, begging for an Article 50 extension, what better time to dig in and extract some useful concessions?
What terms will be imposed on an Article 50 extension?
Let us then turn to the question of whether, and on what terms, an Article 50 extension might be agreed if the UK asks for it. As is evident from Article 50(3) quoted above, such an extension is not simply a matter of choice for the UK, but requires the unanimous consent of all EU27 Member States.
First, the EU collectively is unlikely to agree to any Article 50 extension unless there is a clear purpose to it, other than just buying time for yet more turmoil and negotiation. Secondly, as mentioned already, the EU will be very reluctant to indeed to agree any extension beyond 2 July 2019 because of the consequences for the European Parliament elections.
But thirdly, quite apart from what the EU as a whole may have concerns about, each individual Member State may have demands of its own.
As reported in the Financial Times on 1 February 2019, "The Spanish are gearing up for a Gibraltar fight when there is an extension request," said one senior EU diplomat. "It could be dangerous."
And Germany also could have its demands. When my colleague Dr Gunnar Beck and I gave evidence in Berlin to the European Union Committee of the Bundestag, the subject of a possible Article 50 extension was raised by a number of the German legal experts giving evidence to the Committee. First, it was the general view that there would be great difficulties in extending it by more than a couple of months, because that would mean that the May 2019 European Parliament elections would need to be held in the UK. None of the German legal experts could think of a convincing way round this problem, since the election of MEPs in each Member State is mandated by the European treaties.
However, one of the German experts made an important point. He pointed out that the UK government is using the fact that there is no mechanism to make the UK pay the 'divorce bill' unless a Withdrawal Agreement is ratified as a negotiating lever. He advised the Committee that Germany should require, as a precondition of agreeing to any Article 50 extension, that the UK should agree unconditionally to abide by the obligations to pay money into the EU budget which are set out in Part Five of the Withdrawal Agreement, and to submitting to the jurisdiction of the ECJ to set the amount of these payments, regardless of whether or not a withdrawal agreement was subsequently ratified.
One does not know whether the German government will take up this suggestion but it would be quite logical for it to do so. Germany will end up paying the lion's share of the shortfall in the EU budget caused by the UK's departure. Under the draft Withdrawal Agreement, the UK would have to pay a sum which has been widely estimated at £39bn but in fact is likely to end up considerably higher, particularly since Theresa May caved in to the EU's demand that the ECJ should be given jurisdiction to decide the amount instead of a neutral international tribunal.
Under international law, the UK would have some legal obligations but they would be very much lower. (For background on this, see Charlie Elphicke MP and Martin Howe QC on the EU's financial claims.)
So taking advantage of the UK's moment of weakness when it supplicates for an Article 50 extension, and taking the chance to lock in the EU's legal entitlement to this enhanced sum come what may, would be quite the logical thing for Germany to insist on.
This illustrates a wider point about any application to extend Article 50. By asking for a favour when up against the clock, the UK would once again put itself in a very weak negotiating position, where it would be subject to being blackmailed for further concessions. It would also let the EU off the hook and remove the negotiation pressure on the EU to revise the terms of the Withdrawal Agreement. Asking for an Article 50 extension would be a terrible, terrible idea.

Millions of Tommee Tippee Sippy Cups Recalled for Mold in Valve
By Ephrat Livni, Esq. on May 31, 2016 2:15 PM
Parents are very protective of their children, or so they like to believe. But every so often there is a discovery that something created to keep kids healthy and safe is harming them or making them sick. The latest culprit is the sippy cup.
Mayborn USA this week announced a recall of millions of Tommee Tippee Sippy Cups because mold gets trapped in the sip valve and causes gastrointestinal and other issues for small children, according to the Daily Mail. The company made the move months after a father whose son was repeatedly falling ill pried open the mouthpiece on his son's sippy cup, discovered a bunch of gunk, photographed the mold, and posted the images on Facebook.
Millions of Cups Recalled
More than three million spill-proof cups are being recalled by Mayborn USA, reports The Sun. The cups are intended for children who are four-months-old to one year, so kids who are very young and vulnerable.
Complaints about mold in the sippy cups are in fact common it turns out. The company reportedly received more than 3,000 complaints of mold in the one-piece opaque valve attached to the plastic cups. Nearly 70 children have experienced symptoms, such as vomiting and diarrhea, associated with the presence of mold in the valve.
The Canadian father whose viral photos seem to have spurred the recall, Simon O'kanada, became curious about what was hiding in his son's sippy cup because the boy was getting sick often. Dad pried open the mouthpiece and was dismayed to discover a disgusting amount of mold growing there. He posted the photos on Facebook and they went viral.
Although the company is now recalling the cups and acknowledging the mold issue, it did not always respond appropriately, according to reports. It initially denied that the sip cups collect mold when properly used and washed.
"When used with recommended liquids (cold, light fluids including water and non-pulp juices) and cleaned in line with instructions, there are no problems," a spokesman told Buzzfeed News. "Difficulties have arisen though when liquids that are not recommended for use in the cups have been used, like thick formula milk, pulpy juice and warm liquids. We also recommend that cups are not left for long periods before being cleaned."
Pop Sugar reports that five different types of cups are affected by the recall: the First Sips Transition cup, Trainer Sippee cup, Sippee cup (including Cute Quips), Sportee bottle, and Insulated Swiggle/Sippee tumblers. All of the cups involved in the recall have a white one-piece removable valve. The company is now saying parents should not use the cups and it will swap those of concerned parents.

A remodelled shell of a 1960s church building, which itself includes the crypt of an 1820s church hit by a V2 missile in 1945. Includes a café, two dramatic 8m high windows and a distinctive conical reflective space. RIBA Award Winner 2009.
Lumen's building is the work of several architects working in very different times.
Our building's basement is the crypt of Sir William Tite's 1827 church, built when Edward Irving was our minister. It cost about £1.6m in today's money (£22,000 then). Its most striking, if incongruous, feature was a mini-version of York Minster's twin towers. Its windows and finials had a thistle motif to denote its intended status as the 'National Scotch Church'. We still use the 1827 communion table made to match Tite's Gothic design.
Some people associated with our church in its early years are buried in the crypt, such as the publisher James Nisbet (1785-1854) who paid 10 per cent of the building's original cost.
Tite's church was so badly damaged by the V2 bombing of adjacent Church House in 1945 that it had to be demolished five years later. At other times, such a building might have been saved, but in a bankrupt country ruined by war, that was not possible, and our crypt, with its anonymous numbered graves, is all that remains of a Gothic extravaganza faced in Bath stone that was once a London landmark.
The shell of our current building is the church built on top of the 1820s crypt in the 1960s by Courtenay Theobald during the time when Richard Whitehouse was our minister. Lord Reith laid its foundation stone in 1965 and it opened the following year.
The distinctive concrete arches used for the roof trusses (and the cantilevered supports on top of the old crypt) probably owe their inspiration to Theobald's many bridges: his 1966 Windsor bypass bridge was built at the same time as our church. We hope the design of the church helps us to build bridges and make connections.
Theobald had to work with a very tight budget from the miserly government compensation payments for the loss of the original church – only £55,000 (less than £800,000 in today's money), so there were no funds for elaborate ornamentation of the kind that had gone into the 1827 building. The main decorative feature of the new building was a 21-panel concreted glass window by Pierre Foumaintraux of the Whitefriars Glass Studio, which was originally positioned on the west side wall of the church.
The 1960s building was completely remodelled in 2007/8 by Theis and Khan during the time when Maggie Hindley was our minister.
The redesign cost £2.5m and comprised three main elements: a cafe clearly visible from the street through a dramatic 8m high window; a new conical space for contemplation within the main body of the church and a new extension housing three community spaces.
The conical space in the centre of the building reaches through the full 11m height of the building to a single roof-light, providing a secluded area for worship or small gatherings. The light inside alters with weather and seasons, which was intended to convey a sense of peace and separation from the bustle of the outside world.
A garden at the south end of the building provides a modern form of cloister, with an arcade round a courtyard planted with herbs and silver birch trees.
The redesign involved moving the 1966 Fourmaintraux window to the south gable wall to make it central to the church.
The Theis and Khan redesign also involved commissioning new artwork. Alison Wilding designed a new font, drinking fountain and water fountain, and Rona Smith designed a sculptural screen for the north wall.
In 2009 our remodelled building received an RIBA award and our visitors' book testifies to their number of people who find it inspiring and uplifting.
Lumen URC, formerly Regent Square URC, is in the heart of London's Bloomsbury. We worship in the reformed church tradition and belong to to the United Reformed Church, which brings together formerly separate Presbyterian, Congregational and Churches of Christ traditions.

Mike Keiser announces Coul Links Beach, a new golf course planned in Scotland's Highlands
Coul Links Beach, near Dornoch, Scotland, is Mike Keiser's latest golf course project. Matthew Harris/Golf Picture Library
Links House Hotel is located near the first tee of Royal Dornoch and caters to golf groups with its own putting green. Brandon Tucker/Golf Advisor
Not even a visionary saw this this one coming.
He says it was Royal Dornoch that inspired him to create Bandon Dunes, a mystical golfapalooza on the southwest coast of Oregon. And then he did it again in Tasmania. And then again in Nova Scotia. He just broke ground on a second course in the sticks of Wisconsin.
But could Mike Keiser have ever imagined such a spiritual narrative arc, boomeranging to where it all began?
"I never would've thought of it," said Keiser, on the phone from Dornoch, where he had completed a day of meetings with local political leaders, discussing next steps for Coul Links Beach, his new golf development project located three miles north of Dornoch. About 350 acres, the site is in the initial stages of becoming a new 18-hole golf course designed by Bill Coore & Ben Crenshaw.
Coore described links land to Keiser as: "Spectacular! Might be the best ever."
This, coming from the guy who just completed Cabot Cliffs, which has a mile and a half of dramatic Cape Breton coastline.
"It's two miles of ocean frontage, and about a half-mile deep," Keiser said. "It will have roughly the same footprint as Royal Dornoch."
Royal Dornoch is an Old Tom Morris design (1866) in a remote Scottish town in which Donald Ross was born (1872), raised, and taught all aspects of the game of golf before eventually settling in the Sandhills of North Carolina (1900).

Todd Warnock: Keiser's man on the ground at Dornoch
Keiser's business partner in this project is Todd Warnock, 55, a self-proclaimed "recovering capitalist." Keiser calls him "Warnock of Dornoch," but he's actually one of Keiser's friends from Chicago who has also had a successful career, has strong family values and they share a passion for all of the finer things about golf, especially as it relates to Dornoch.
Like Howard McKee was at Bandon Dunes, Richard Sattler at Barnbougle, Ben Cowan-Dewar at Cabot Links and Craig Haltom and Keiser's oldest son, Michael, at Sand Valley, Warnock will be Keiser's man on the ground at Dornoch.
Since 2010, Warnock has been developing Links House, a high-end lodging option only a short chip away from the first tee of Royal Dornoch. He has eight rooms now, and in a month, he's adding another six rooms. After years of admiring nearby land that seemed destined for fairways and flags, about nine months ago, he called Keiser, selling him on the idea they should pursue a golf development. Keiser told Warnock that if he liked it so much, find out who owned it.
A local family, who is choosing to remain anonymous, replied to Warnock's e-mail with a phone call. The man on the phone had done his research on both Warnock and Keiser, and he would be willing to talk.
The plan they worked out is for Keiser, Warnock and potentially 200 other "founders" to enter into a long-term lease of the land. Upwards of 99 years. The local landowner would potentially get a percentage of all paying customers.
It's Bill and Ben's turn
On the heels of starting Sand Valley, a two-course project in Wisconsin, and only weeks after walking away from building a sixth course at Bandon Dunes, Keiser says this is a perfect time to start something new.
"It is such a good site," said Keiser, who considered David McLay Kidd and Tom Doak as the architects for this project. Both have already built golf courses in Scotland.
"David did the Castle Course, and Tom built the Renaissance Club. It's Bill and Ben's turn."
Coore has been to Scotland twice, spending days walking the land with an ecologist, who is helping determine what could be available as a golf course. Based on a first pass of what is deemed a "Site of Special Scientific Interest," Coore told Keiser there was more than enough to move forward.
Prior to their phone calls, Keiser and Warnock had spent their Thursday meeting with Highland officials and environmentalists (Scottish Natural Heritage), discussing next steps.
For nine to 12 months, there will be research on the land's local plants and migratory birds. If things go as planned, in two years, Warnock and Keiser could be the latest American golf enthusiasts to break ground on an addition to the sacred land of Scottish links.
"I would never do this by myself," Warnock said. "It's too big of a project. Mike knows how to do it, and he does it in the tradition of how we would all want it to be done. Mike is humbled by the thought of coming here. He told me he would take the next six to twelve months looking into Old Tom Morris."
Coul Links could help solidify the Highlands' rep
And so, assuming the environmentalist's concerns are satisfied, and terms of the lease can be agreed upon, Coul (Cool) Links could help solidify the Highlands as yet another Scottish destination with a deep lineup.
Warnock says Castle Stuart, a course developed by Mark Parsinen and built by Gil Hanse, located 45 minutes south of Dornoch, has helped. "But people still just come up for the day, play 18, and then go back south," he said. "We want to give them a reason to stay and play a few more rounds."
Keiser has not committed to any lodging. "This is just 18 holes," he says. "We don't want to compete with locals, we just want to add to what's already here."
Warnock is already there, and he's excited about the opportunity to partner with Keiser.
"He's Mike Keiser," Warnock said. "He sees things we don't see. He's creative. Spiritual. His personality attracts people."
More importantly, his golf attracts golfers. And right now, Royal Dornoch gets about 20,000 rounds per year, with roughly half of those rounds by visitors from the U.S. If Coul Links becomes more than just a beach, it won't take a visionary to see a dramatic rise in both of those numbers.

The defacing of the nicest area of wilderness and spoiling it would be a huge disincentive to come to the area. These areas are rare. I am a local and am familiar with the entire region. This would be a devastating loss. If people can't get DOZENS of golf courses to their liking; ruining the final area of wilderness on the east coast and taking away from the the overall beauty of the area in a devastating way...would be an act of total impudence and complete folly. You can not promote golf by vandalism in this way. I will be put off golf totally and could not face walking in my home countryside. It is like the clearances all over again for people like me.

I have walked along the top of the dunes last Saturday and the area is in flood. It is wild and beautiful. If we have a normal amount of rain, it will be like this half the year. This venture would mean draining and diverting water in the iconic Embo Plains. It is a low basin. This venture is a ludicrous act of mindless vandalism. If the environmental people are worth their salt; they will protest against this with everything they have got. Defacing this area would be criminal... and it should be MADE criminal! The Locals, and visitors, are against this.

I guess the only people capable of designing a golf course hail from the USA, and of all the names who have built world class golf courses only a select few appear capable these days. Why in the world do we Scots allow this, surely we know something about golf and golf courses.

Undoubtedly another $250 - $500 golf course to stroke Mr. Keiser's ego and get even less people to play the game.
18thhole
A lot of people don't bother going to the north of Scotland given the driving distance and the attraction of the southwest (Troon, Turnberry etc.), southeast (Gullane and North Berwick) and of course St. Andrews and Fife. There are numerous courses in the north apart from Royal Dornoch, Nairn and Castle Stuart. Places like Fortrose and Rosemarkie, Tain and Brora are well worth the visit. People just need to commit to the north and the Highlands as an area worth visiting. The addition of another course in the Dornoch area would help this cause and be very welcome. More hotel space in the Dornoch area would also be a big help. Driving back and forth from Inverness can be a bit tiring.
David McLay Kidd to design second course at Sand Valley
Mike Keiser once plucked a 28-year-old David McLay Kidd from relative obscurity to craft a gem at Bandon Dunes. Now, 15 years later, the prodigal son will design the second golf course at Sand Valley in Wisconsin.

Red Sox looking to improve 'short-term and long-term'
By Bill Koch
The Providence Journal
There is certainly a need for some external help should the Red Sox hope to compete for a postseason berth in 2021.
Boston's pitching staff last year was one of its worst in franchise history. There are clear holes at second base and in center field, where Jackie Bradley Jr. could depart as a free agent.
There is legitimate speculation, however, as to how much the Red Sox could improve simply through some players returning to their normal selves. The common thinking in the Boston front office is generally reliable performers like J.D. Martinez and Andrew Benintendi won't be that poor again. Those two players were perhaps the most glaring examples of how a shortened 60-game season can alter perception.
"I don't think that we think we're the fourth-worst team in baseball," Red Sox general manager Brian O'Halloran said. "We certainly have work to do. We want to improve the team both short-term and long-term."
The Red Sox lost 18 of their first 24 games and finished 24-36, doomed to last place in the American League East for the fourth time since 2012. Benintendi was limited to just 14 games by a right rib cage injury and managed a lone extra-base hit. Martinez posted an OPS of .680, a figure he last approached in his final season with the Astros seven years ago.
Boston's rotation was in tatters prior to taking its first full turn, with Ryan Weber and Matt Hall — both since outrighted to Triple-A Pawtucket — ineffective in their early starts. Nathan Eovaldi made a fifth trip to the injured list in his last five seasons, this time due to right calf issues. Matt Barnes suffered through a difficult opening five weeks prior to finding his footing in September.
"I think we want to and expect to compete for postseason and beyond in 2021," O'Halloran said. "But as we've stated numerous times and as you guys all know, our long-term goals are to be competitive and have a championship-caliber team year-in and year-out. We continue to work on the long-term piece of that as well."
Uncertainty at second
Six different players saw time at second base for the Red Sox in 2020.
Jose Peraza earned the job out of Summer Camp and lost it by September, as he was sent to the alternate site in Pawtucket. Michael Chavis, Tzu-Wei Lin, Jonathan Arauz and Christian Arroyo all received a look by the time the season closed. Christian Vazquez was even pressed into a lone inning at the position during an embarrassing 17-8 loss to the Rays on Aug. 13.
Boston's immediate future at the position remains uncertain three years after Dustin Pedroia played his last meaningful stretch of games. That makes Jeter Downs one of the club's most important prospects going forward.
"We think there's some versatility there — some potential (for Downs) to do other things," O'Halloran said. "But we're focused on second base."
Downs came to the Red Sox in the blockbuster trade that sent Mookie Betts, David Price and cash to the Dodgers. Alex Verdugo was the primary right fielder for Boston in his debut season while Downs and Connor Wong spent the summer at McCoy Stadium. The 22-year-old is the No. 2 player in the system per SoxProspects.com and checks in as the No. 40 prospect in baseball per MLB.com.
"I wouldn't want to put a timetable or guess on how close any prospect is," O'Halloran said. "Certainly, we're excited to have Jeter here. He did a nice job at the alternate site."
Rodriguez 'healthy'
O'Halloran offered a simple and comforting thought when asked about Eduardo Rodriguez on his Monday conference call.
"He's a healthy player," O'Halloran said.
Rodriguez experienced a complicated recovery from COVID-19, developing myocarditis. The inflammation of his heart muscle was discovered in a routine MRI, and Rodriguez was shut down from all physical activities.
Boston and the left-hander avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $8.3-million deal. Rodriguez didn't throw a pitch in 2020 after a breakout campaign that saw him finish sixth in the A.L. Cy Young Award voting. He will reach free agency following the upcoming season.
"Coming off what he's coming off, we're monitoring him very closely from every perspective," O'Halloran said. "Once he was cleared a few weeks back, it's a regular offseason."
O'Halloran began his remarks with a pair of remembrances.
Longtime Red Sox groundskeeper Joe Mooney and Fenway Park official scorer Mike Shalin both died within the last two weeks. Mooney was 90 and Shalin was 66.
Mooney was inducted into the Red Sox Hall of Fame and the MLB Groundskeepers Hall of Fame after serving in Boston from 1970-2001. He came to prominence during the 1975 World Series after three days of rain forced Game 6 to be postponed from Oct. 18 to Oct. 21. Mooney and his crew had the field prepared for one of baseball's all-time classics, as Carlton Fisk drove a walkoff homer to beat the Reds in the bottom of the 12th inning.
"I didn't know Joe well, but I grew up here in the Boston area," O'Halloran said. "He was a legend."
Shalin covered baseball with the New York Post and Boston Herald from 1980-2005, moving from the Yankees beat to the Red Sox beat. He authored several books and was also correspondent for UPI in the 1970s.
"Mike will surely be missed," the Red Sox said in a statement. "Those who spent time in the press box at Fenway over the past several years were familiar with his lively and engaging personality and his deep passion for the game of baseball."

Apple is reportedly planning to refresh iPhone 8 next year like it did with iPhone SE in 2016. The new model could have faster A13 processor and updated pricing for next year.
Apple might bring back the iPhone 8, its smallest and most affordable iPhone that was discontinued last year. The Cupertino-based company is expected to launch three models as successor to iPhone XR, iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max this year but in 2020, it could bring back the iPhone 8. A new report states that Apple is planning a different strategy for its small iPhone model and that will involve refresh of the iPhone 8 with an updated processor, which could be the A13 processor.
According to Taiwan's Economic Daily News, Apple will use an "old bottle, new wine" strategy for its iPhone lineup next year. Apple's iPhone lineup currently involves the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus on the lower end, followed by iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus in the midrange, the iPhone XR as a LCD flagship and the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max as premium flagship. If Apple follows its strategy like in the past then the company will drop the iPhone 7 lineup when it launches new models in September 2019. leaving the iPhone 8 with 4.7-inch display as the smallest device in its lineup.
The report states that Apple will refresh the iPhone 8 with Apple A13 processor in early 2020, which will allow the 2017 model to remain competitive and making it a mid-range model than low price offering. In 2016, Apple took similar approach by refreshing the 2013 iPhone 5S and launching it as iPhone SE. The launch of iPhone SE paved way for those holding on to their 4-inch iPhone models to upgrade with a device offering better performance, improved battery life and camera.
In a separate report, Taiwan-based DigiTimes claims that the device will ship in March next year and will be priced at $649 for 128GB of memory. The iPhone 8 currently comes in only 64GB and 256GB storage options and is priced at $599 and $699 respectively. The iPhone XR starts at $749 and if the price stays the same this year then the iPhone 8 could help fill the gap in terms of pricing. Both the reports do not elaborate much but the premise seems like Apple wants to address demand for small screen models.
