I hate these kinds of articles. DED I presume? AppleInsider doesn't do itself any favours by printing this kind of one-sided garbage. A "year in review" type of article should contain the minuses as well as the plusses. A few that come to mind…

The main problem I have with Apple's direction here is that the "included in the box" headphones are likely to be lightning EarPods, and EarPods just fall out of your ears constantly. If you use them daily they only last about six months anyway. …

Why would anyone in England give a hoot about American Football? Especially now that it's so obviously due to disappear entirely soon.

The wireless charging thing sounds like pure fantasy to me. The reason being it's physically impossible to do it without making the phone at least a millimetre or more thicker. If wireless charging were in the road map, Apple wouldn't have spent…
