Thank you Apple remote for helping me binge watch Cobra Kai, Schitt$ Creek, and all of Friends. It’s so frustrating to try to change the channel with this device I just leave it on the same show for a month at a time. 

Switching from lightning to USB-C would seem to be a painful and unnecessary switch at a time when we are also switching to, or at least adding, mag safe cable connectors. Adding touch ID back to the iPhone on the other hand, would bring back a very useful feature that we once had but lost with the transition to FaceID. I actually wish that FaceID had not supplanted touch ID but simply been an additional ID option.  We’ve now learned what a pain it is to have only one ID option as mask wearing has become necessary. Particularly in retail situations where you want to use contactless payment. Although I have rarely heard it discussed another FaceID issue has caused me a lot of hassle as I cracked the screen on my iPhone XR two weeks after buying it. Face ID stopped working about six months later, seemingly due to the crack impacting the notch (although it doesn’t seem to affect the front facing camera).

So excited about this about-face by Apple. At this rate the DVD drive should be back in 2022. I know Apple wouldn’t want me to have to repurchase my entire DVD movie library as digital.

Most CarPlay vehicles require a cabled connection to your phone. How will that work when the phone no longer has an external port?
(I hope there’s a solution I’m just forgetting.)

Perhaps a future version of MagSafe can also provide data communication for CarPlay. That way an Apple (or third party) cabled MagSafe connector could replace the current USBtoLightning cable.
