i think you're missing the joy of anticipation..! being let down never totally kills it, so it's not a zero sum endeavor
They can't trademark hell, Samsung already did.
APFS is supposed to be the future FS for iOS, tvOS, watchOS & macOS... so...
A10 Fusion = A10 Control bar + ios apps and Intel CPU with macbook pro.
care to explain a little? my comment was literally a question, i don't know much about this stuff, looked up APFS and read about snapshots and cloning so it's above my head really.
This might laymans it a bit, the documentation is hard to read, especially man pages. This might demystify it for you, no promises, it's still not easy to understand

Possibly the SSD in the iPhone is also integrated into the A10 SoC alongside the RAM, to make the entire logic package even smaller.
Maybe even the LTE networking capability is integrated? Maybe it's a SiP, several dies under the lid, some of which may be stacked (central A10 logic die, flash, ram).

maybe it's just the codename? did they have trademarks for the old cpus?
A7 -> Cyclone
A8 -> Typhoon
A9 -> Twister
and now A10 -> Fusion

Features for plus not available in normal phone = evil horrible fragmentation fail!!!
Well, by combining 2 chips into one (-> A10 Fusion), you can have a dedicated Chip for high end use cases (Gaming, etc.), and a low power chip for Facebook, Twitter and so on, which results in much better battery life!
This must clearly be for the AMD x86 compatible A10 core... as the tagline goes "The Future is Fusion"
Apple File System is the new file system that covers Apple TV, Watch, iPhone, iPad, and OS X
Just an uneducated guess - A10 Fusion could be a combo of Arm and Intel chips for use in Macs? Could be the start of migrating everything over to ARM processors - seems a tad early for that though as they aren't powerful enough yet, are they?
A10 Fusion Drive could be something like Extremely fast small storage module for the OS, and an additional storage volume of the standard flash storage.
Isn't this just basically the ARM Big.Little concept?
Perhaps the A10 chip runs the kernel and most of the OS and the Intel chip does everything else?
It would make sense to introduce an Apple chip on the Macbook first, since it is already designed to have a power efficient CPU and to be fanless.
It could work on the Mac Mini too, but I'm not sure they're ready for iMacs
