Yeah, if SNW April is the same age as the actor portraying him, his age contradicts "The Counter-Clock Incident," in which April is 75 in 2270 (and thus born in 2195) and would've been 50 years old when the Enterprise launched in 2245
Roddenberry's conception of Robert April was that he was around 34 when he commanded the Enterprise. If SNW's team are basing their conception of April's age on that original conception and ignoring TAS (or that specific episode of TAS, which they apparently are in regards to the character's rank and race), a Robert April who was 34 in 2245 would be 48 in 2259.
Come on now, we all know Colt, uh, was forced to use Krall's life extension alien tech on some hapless spiky alien to save her life.
I also read somewhere that they made Lt. Kyle into an Asian, although I'll have to wait to see if that's true in the show. I'm Asian myself and of course I want to see people who look like me on screen, but not like this. Make a new character.
I think it’s worth mentioning that Patrick Stewart
Which just happens to be the age of the actor.
I know. Knowledge of the actor's real age is what inspired that line of reasoning. I guess that I should have made that point explicit in that paragraph.

"The Counter-Clock Incident" is one of those larger-than-life, somewhat inaccurate dramatizations of the Enterprise's missions Admiral Kirk warned us about in his preface to the TMP novelization.
I get a lot of emails about that."Turboshaft Expander."
One cannot disagree with facts. It makes no sense that the simplistic, obvious-model look of the original would work in a modern series with modern production values.
Holy!!!!! Wow wasn't expecting that twist.The first review I’ve spotted so far and it’s pretty positive…mild spoilers so be warned before you click the link

According to that IGN review
Chapel is a civilian
then why is she wearing commander stripes on her uniform?
Good, they shouldn’t hold their punchesWhen Pike finds Number One, it’s on a planet that recently became aware of warp drive for the first time, but intends to use it in a far different way. These aliens are like 21st century us, impossibly divided and seemingly hellbent on destroying one another. Pike decides that he’s going to dissuade them by talking about Earth’s own history: how in the 2000s, the U.S. became so fractious it plunged into a “Second Civil War,” the moniker Starfleet historians retroactively applied to… the events we’re living right now. Images of “Stop the Steal” placards, possibly from the January 6 insurrection, pop onscreen.
The above in that picture is the original design.If you have to update the original design in order to approximate the new one, I rest my case.
It has hull details and other things from the updated design. It has been updated like Belz said.The above in that picture is the original design.
