1. No more security firmware update is the most worrying.

iPhone is a 10-year-old OLD product no matter how you spin its evolutions.  Apple needs to move forward and explore something new for everyone.  Not car, not TV, not service, not VR, not AR.  Tim Cook is still the old school guy, "everyone should learn coding"?  Com'on.  Machine Learning can learn how to code in hours.  One day, all a sudden, programmers are all wasted.  Perhaps Apple should find its way to invent a learning machine for everyone.
