QR F is nowhere near as good as the current EK F. It's only slightly better than QR J (as per lots of reviews). No privacy at all.
I'd say the new SQ F is similar to the new EK F.
I'll give you the 2x3x2 in J, but that works for EK. Nobody was expecting a change - seeing as the only changed this in the last 12 months.

but why would one call it pork, I'm sure some would take offense.
Pork and bacon would definitely be available at some high-end hotels in the UAE, but sourcing bulk quantities on a daily basis for EK catering might not be so easy, especially as the slaughter and processing would likely have to occur outside the UAE and the meat flown in every day or two. Plus the need for separate facilities in DXB to cook and process the products for the flights and presumably have a separate catering cart for it as well.

as for the 2x3x2, I’m okay with it, along with some others who do not have the direct aisle access. I want plenty of inventory and seats available. If changes are made to all aisle, fine, just as long as there are still the same amount of seats available.

I would have really liked this to work. On Demand is a necessity for ULH sectors. Not all of us want to settle into our destination time zone!

), I would prefer to have dinner later in the flight as opposed to a 4:30 pm „lunch“...

It might not be the last we've heard. It may not have been rolled out due to the vast amount of other organisational changes happening across the group. I am sure we'll see some new services come on time for EXPO, hopefully this will be one.

As a customer, DOD is a great improvement. As Wtravel said, pax won't be obliged to have lunch at 15:30 Dubai time (after a lunch at the lounge at 12:00) and no dinner when landing at 20:00 western Europe time (23:00 Dubai time) ...
Nevertheless, it will create a real chaos at the galley, with no "peaceful time" for FA.
Therefore, I would suggest something in between : two services, one at 15:30, the other at 20:00 (Dubai time). Pax would choose while ordering their aperitif.

Frequent readers of this forum won't find too much new info in today's WSJ article on Emirates (subscription required link, or google "Chateau Margaux for Seat 2A: Emirates Rewrites Rules for Airlines"), and there are some future potential service offerings noted, but they do mention the following:
Emirates plans to reconfigure its onboard kitchens to offer by year-end meal service to business-class passengers on demand, rather than at set times.
