Now would be a great time for all those asshat security “researchers” who claim OS X and iOS are riddled with security holes and are “child’s play” to hack into to put up or shut up. You say it’s easy to get into an iPhone? Then call the FBI and tell them how to do it. Otherwise you people are blathering hypocritical nincompoops.

Those security researchers aren't talking about how hard it is to get past a 4 digit or 6 digit code to get IN the phone. 
They are talking about security holes in the OS when someone is USING the phone.  Code executed thru web browser, apps with security holes, etc etc etc. 

If iOS / OS X was so secure that it had NOTHNG to worry about, don't you think the government and the rest of the world would switch instantly? 

Encryption and Passwords that wipe hard drives after 10 wrong guesses aren't what the black hat hackers are talking about. It's what Can happen while using it is where those "researchers" claims are TRUE.

Another gimmick since they can't think of anything else. "hey. let's just add more cameras and go on vacation for 2 years, the software guys have to come up with something for the S model"  

ah yes, all the hardware improvements on iPhone are "gimmicks". unlike, say, the barely-functional copied features on samsung iphoney clones. you seem to be confusing your device's operating system w/ entertainment. it's a tool, not a TV show.

The OS is LONG overdue for some better features. dark mode (get rid of all the damn white shit, Real Widgets, let me put the damn apps where I want. auto arrange is ignorant, Siri; location based and people based reminders, and yes, 2 cameras is a gimmick. it won't take better pictures, it will just let you do dual focus. There are a million things that could be done to the OS to make it MUCH better. stop letting apple tell you that it's good enough as is. 
Cook and team and just riding the wave. They will try new things when they go less than 10% market share. too late, just like blackberry. 

Another gimmick since they can't think of anything else. "hey. let's just add more cameras and go on vacation for 2 years, the software guys have to come up with something for the S model" we all know the software will continue to look just like it has since iOS 7... flat and unchanged. I love iOS but damn it's getting boring look at the same screen for year after year with no changes other than wallpaper...

This is bad news. wall street knows that minor spec bumps on pc's and same ol thing each year isn't sustainable. iPhones sales are down because the S model was a minor upgrade. 3D touch is a gimmick. yes, it's fater, but that's not enough anymore. People now understand that iPhone is $1000 thanks to Next/Edge plans. Phone sales will continue to go down. Apple thinks it can just sit around and coast. They aren't doing anything. They spec bump and sit back down. No innovation going on. The phone OS looks the same year after year. The hardware gets a new haircut once every 2 years. Not good enough in today's market. Macs are just on auto pilot. Swap the proc and ram. Done til next year. I think Tim Cook needs to step aside, and someone needs to make Ives get off his ass.
