Thanks. I’ve noticed a few marks on mine, but when I touch then I can’t feel anything. Wasn’t sure if I should be worried. I’ve had mine since Xmas 2017.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Sends Out Media Invites for an 'It's Show Time' Event on March 25

iTunes is not long for this world. Music sales have continued to plummet quarter after quarter. All you can eat music streaming is the new model. TV and movies are next. The writing is on the wall.
Apple TV will offer tv shows and movies from partner studios. Like Netflix, Apple will probably license a rotating library of movies and third party shows, paying them out per view, which will ultimately be higher than revenue from dedicated movie collectors buying digital movies on iTunes.
Maybe there’ll be a way to save movies to your personal library for an additional price but the iTunes Store as we know it will be gone soon.
So, the press people are going to be buying it? Or, average consumers?
They only allow specific kinds of offensive content.
Oh I totally understand them not updating the iMac annually. I’ve been ready for a new 1 for like 2 or 3 years, but figure I’d wait until a redesign happens. I like that they’re tapping into other industries. The quality of all of Apple’s products are awesome.
They can easily have their hands in many pots.
They should offer a subscription for iTunes movies and tv shows too. That would be good. Won’t happen of course.
Do you think they’ll completely get rid of buying single tracks/movies/episodes?
The press are going to be the ones reporting about it on their websites which the consumers are then going to read.
Should have called it "the show must go on"
They're inviting "celebrities" now?
I fear this is going to be the most underwhelming, lackluster, cringe-worthy keynote to date.
I lament for what Apple is turning into. What a 5h!t-show.
Better make that the 20xx Mac Pro.

WHATs wrong with a sustainable business and loyal buyers. Even if i buy every ten years a resonably priced deviced. I mean more devices it should be fine for any company to be sucessfully.
Its a recent misinterpretation that You have to buy every year or 3 years - even with phones its not really true / its just a crazy market bubble.

Its not the people / its apple
Never falsely interpret the data points.
Not familiar with how Hollyweird works ?
Actors from various new shows always go to "Premiers" or media junkets..
It's in probably every actors contracts in the business and "It's Show Time" is considered one of those.

Calm down not everything is suppose to be taken seriously
I love all these comments of people angry at Apple about an event that hasn’t happened yet.
ohh..there you go...dumb argument..production is different and doing business on someone else content is different. Owning something has to be according to company policies...not the case for letting someone use platform.
About Music: Yes, they do.
About iCloud back-up: No, that's free for iOS devices.
In what way? Number of compatible devices? Apple has already opened HomeKit up via a firmware update. It’s now up to manufacturers to adopt HomeKit.
As for everything else, I don’t know in which way “Alexa and Google are so far ahead”, HomeKit is far more elegant to set up and manage, it’s far more secure and its scenes and automations do everything I need them to.
Regardless, I don’t think we’ll see HomeKit updates at an Apple TV + Apple News event. WWDC is far more likely.
Within 5 years you will also be able to buy a bundle of different providers of your choice. If you want an Apple-Netflix-Amazon bundle there will be options for that. There will also be subscriptions for supermarkets and food delivery apps.

You will have options for both and more eventually. The best way for media companies to make money is by giving you a choice of offerings. If you want to own a physical disc, or a digital copy, or a subscription these will all be available.
My best guess is that Apple feels they need to so something in this era of alternative facts. Critics will say that Apple curates news, Apple will say they'll bring the most relevant news (not the fake ones) to you. Why not enriching Apple Music with news and video, calling it Apple Services (for 15 dollars/family/month) and that's their contribution to society?

is this side decal of space gray cheese grater pro? if so, sweet.
With amount of leaks and rumors which periodically appear on this site I highly doubt that they would be able to keep total silence about SE2. Do not get your hopes high at all.

What issues did you have with 2017 27" iMac? I have one as well (top basic config) and not a single problem at all.
Probably not before the year end event alongside new iPhones.
It doesn't make sense to make a new product with a Lightning port, nor does it make sense to release them with USB-C before iPhones transitioned to USB-C.
