Wow.

This thing has literally changed my life and made my life more enjoyable.

Only problem i have is the double tap to envoke Siri does not work. I don't know why. Tried it dozens of times.

A set of mid-fi earbuds which become disposable after the battery no longer holds a charge "literally changed your life"? Seriously? The double-tap to invoke Siri doesn't work, and yet deserves 5 stars?

"Foxconn may transfer Chinese engineers to Wisconsin"

But... Doesn't that go against the Orange Clown's efforts to stop immigrants from "invading" the USA, and to MAWA... er, I mean MAGA?

Childish insults aside, the President has done a heck of a lot more in this than Obama did...which was just sit on his butt.

I guess that's all you can do when you don't at least try.

Nothing like crapping on your number one taxpayer. There is no end to the greed of Santa Clara.

Nothing like crapping on the county that you're taking over, and the county whose roads you're clogging. Yeah, we should all feel soooo sad for the poor, poor trillion-dollar-valued Apple! They have to - somehow - make a living and scrape by, right?

Apple likes to maximize their lawsuit wins, and minimize their taxes, ripping off cities, but when Santa Clara County wants to get their far share tax income THEY'RE the ones who are greedy?

Man, the lengths the fanboys go to...

Everyone's soooooo happy!

You want to be protected from big, bad law enforcement...while gladly and willingly handing over all your private and personal data to Google and Facebook.

Chances of law enforcement wanting to break into your phone to get your personal data: 0.00000001%
Chances of Facebook wanting to get your personal data: 100%

SMH.

Let me take a selfie with the guy who I'm helping to make even more rich.

lol. Everyone needs to just relax with this stuff.

Can't remember who said it but "The media takes Trump literally but not seriously. His voters take him seriously but not literally."

Just let the guy try and get better deals for the country. If he fails, he'll be out. If he wins even some minor concessions, it could be good for everyone.

The media hysteria over Trump stuff is just insane.

Unbelievable. Someone who actually has a head on their shoulders and can think logically. Bravo.

Mr. Comey is a fox in sheep's skin. He is showing his true color. It was never just "This one phone"!

Yeah, you're right. Those bastards. We should just eliminate the FBI. Then, when the next terrorist attack, kidnapping, etc. take place no complaining, right?

The FBI doesn't care one stupid bit about your boring selfies or droll texts. Don't flatter yourself - nobody cares about your stuff.

The key point here is about the automotive supply chain. Apple is used to bullying and pushing around parts suppliers - as well as the music industry - to get the control they want at the cheapest prices. Too bad it's not working on the movie industry or on the automotive industry. That's why AppleTV isn't going anywhere, and same for cars. They know Tesla is delivering (even if not financially) and they don't want to get in the game unless they can take over. They don't play well unless they're far in the lead. Boo hoo - Apple is going to have to play by the rules for once and not act like the spoiled 800lb gorilla they're used to being.

So they got rid of the ubiquitous 3.5mm jack which delivers audio, to make more room for...the stupid home button's "taptic" feedback? Hey, here's an idea - get rid of the damn home button and use the screen! If you want to "wow" us, figure out how to get the touch screen to register fingerprints. Now that would be magical! By pushing us toward wireless earphones, we now need yet another charger and more table space to charge yet another widget overnight. You forget to charge your AirPods last night? Oh well, no music for you! And, these expensive wireless headphones' battery is going wear out in a year or two, and not hold a decent charge. I guess then we toss the headphones and buck up for another pair?
