The four-bedroom colonial at 63 Mountain Brook Road in North Haven is on a lush 1.10-acre setting with a screened porch and deck.

In 2007, the year of the iPhone launch, the Ives bought an eleven-bedroom seventeenth-century house, with a lake, in rural Somerset, in the West of England. Ive had been at Apple for fifteen years; his children were nearing school age. When Ive and his wife were photographed among the tanned and lacquered guests at San Francisco fund-raisers, they looked palely handsome and a little puzzled, as if misdirected from the set of a Jane Austen adaptation. At the time, Michael Ive hoped that the Somerset house presaged a permanent return. He told me that he had learned not to ask three questions: “When are you coming back to England?”; “What are you working on?”; “Planning any more kids?”

If you’re the kind of person who doesn’t drop his phone often and just wants a bit of protection from scratches, the Thin Fit is for you. As you might be able to tell from the name, this is the thinnest case that Spigen offers. It’s practically just a plastic shell, and it doesn’t even have buttons – just cutouts. It offers a little less coverage than I’ve come to expect, even from previous Thin Fits, but it’s still probably one of my favorite cases.

The rest of the case doesn’t get much better. The back seems to be privy to the rainbow effect, even if it is less prevalent than on clear TPU cases. The buttons are just cutouts with tall surrounds, making them very hard to push. The fingerprint sensor cutout is large, but that means that it produces somewhat of a strange visual effect over the glass portion of the back. It honestly feels like some sort of jewelry piece, but that is not what you need out of a case.

The stereo camera is also used for the Lane Departure Warning2 (LDW) and Lane Keep Assist2 (LKA) functions. By monitoring road markings and the driver’s use of the indicators, these systems are designed to help to prevent the driver from drifting out of lane: LDW can issue a haptic warning though the steering wheel, while LKA goes further and is designed to apply a small amount of counter-steering to keep the vehicle in its lane. The steering torque can be easily overcome by the driver if required2.

When you open the packaging, you’re greeted with the wood back facing you and a strong wood smell. I’m no woodworker, but the back definitely seemed very well-done. The design is very intricate, with the mountain in the background and some trees and a hill up front. The pieces fit together perfectly, and there are no real sharp edges. I don’t see any way the woodwork could be improved. Interestingly, the inside portion of the back is hard plastic, which is probably necessary for the wood to adhere.

For years, the family’s Palo Alto home was underfurnished; Jobs tore photographs of things he liked out of magazines or books, but didn’t buy them. He often complained—“You don’t want to know,” Powell Jobs said—about one or other switch ruining the experience of his Mercedes. He craved products that didn’t force adjustments of behavior, that gave what Powell Jobs called a “feeling of gratitude that someone else actually thought this through in a way that makes your life easier.” She added, “That’s what Steve was always looking for, and he didn’t find it until he worked with Jony. . . . They were really happy, they relished each other.”

To sum things up, if you’re in the market for a stylish lower mid-range smartphone, and don’t really care about things like camera quality and software experience, the Honor 8C is going to serve you just fine. However, if you’re looking for a value-for-money mobile device that checks all the right boxes, I’d advise you instead go for the aforementioned Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro, Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 (or perhaps wait for the upcoming Zenfone Max M2), or even the entry-level variant of the Realme 2 Pro.

Without it, the site first opened to the public in 2015. It featured about 120,000 square feet of new or reconfigured exhibition space; a new cinema; a new two-story Miesian pavilion of wide open gallery spaces, called the Podium, the whole building clad in light, shimmery panels of foamed aluminum, an automotive and medical industry material also used for bomb blast absorption that looks a little like rough stone. There was even a 1950s-style Italian cafe straight out of a Wes Anderson movie.

As always, your particular application will make the ability to pass some of those tests either vital or meaningless. Xplore provides more, and more thorough, ruggedness testing specs than most, so anyone interested in the XSLATE L10 should examine them closely and also check with Xplore for additional test results.
