On Saturday April 19th he met with Pietro Parolin. This was framed as a snub. On Sunday 20th he met with Francis.

I can imagine Laurence Olivier in The World At War would be good for this!

Apparently it was an arbitrary extra 50% on top of the recent 54%, which was the supposed trade deficit plus existing tariffs. I'm not saying it's not batshit, but the new figure wasn't a totally random specific number.

I've used the "writing tools" extensively for minor changes, like changes to capitalization on a large block of text. It makes the phone a little less of a consumption-only device.

I've also found the image editing tools handy from time to time, and the automatic calls to ChatGPT on the more complex natural-language questions can sometimes be handy, even if you need to wait a while for the response.

The notification summaries are sometimes very handy and sometimes absurdly incorrect and misleading.

I'm really looking forward to Siri being less frustratingly stupid, but we've got a while to wait for that, and we probably shouldn't set our expectations too high. I do respect that they've not shipped it rather than shipping something broken, though.
