Glad the ports many here declared "legacy" are back. Are they still "legacy" now?

Apple doesn't use "legacy" ports ever. So, they are the "future" from now onwards .

I will not surprise if thousands of people freeze to death in this winter in China. But CCP don’t care, of course. 

LOL.... That's why they cut back on production:   to insure their people have heat and energy during the energy crisis in that region.  They are cutting back on industry (that they highly value) to assure the health & safety of their people who they value even higher than industry.

The curious part is:  what is causing this energy shortage in that region?

England has one but we know why:  A lack of workers from the EU needed to transport it.  But in China it is so far unexplained.

The Global Times wouldn't report it as it doesn't portray Pres. Xi in a positive light, so if that's your source of news you won't find it. But if you'll read some Western news sources it's not an unexplained mystery. 
....

Nice try!  But you just did another face plant.

None of my information came from anything but impartial western news outlets!

Aren't you feeling stupid continuously making crazy claims that prove to be untrue?

Can you please share those links, so that we can read and be better informed as well?

Typical responses from the usual suspects, blaming AI author for a well reasoned article. Most of the posters above should be "Apple shareholders" who do NOT care about "consumer rights" or what is in the best interests of Apple's customers. As long as Apple is able to make more money which would help to increase AAPL's prices, they would defend ANY decision from Apple with impunity.

For a question as simple as - "Why should owners of iPhone 13 generation phones pay a huge amount to Apple (ONLY to Apple and no one else in the world) to repair if the screen in their phone is broken due to accidental drop (which is not covered in warranty and they don't have accidental damage coverage)?", the response from posters above is "Why not? Apple can make more money that way and it will help in increased stock price for us to enjoy". Absolute nonsense.

Any reasonable consumer would expect to be able to fix the screen in their phone (out of warranty repairs) in the least amount of cost as possible and Apple is blocking that from happening by blocking competition for repairs.

When our technology devices reach the levels depicted in sci-fi — ultra small or ultra thin pieces of magic glass, will it still make sense for DIY to whine about not being able to open up the device and solder repairs or whatnot? I don’t think so. Which is why I don’t expect we’ll halt technological progress just to appease them. 

Most of the "right to repair" advocates are NOT going to repair the iPhones on their own. They need OEM parts for getting the repair done at 3rd party repair shops who have the necessary expertise to perform the repair at a cheaper price for out-of-warranty devices. That is one of the teething issues with Apple's repair policies. As Avon has mentioned it few times, "designing for repair" is another factor that will be looked at by authorities world over.

Most disappointing and underwhelming iPhone announcement in the history of Apple, yet the delusional Apple fanboys here will say that it was the most advanced and mindblowing announcement ever.

You got the first part correct, but I think you got your last part incorrect. While there are few hard core fans of Apple in this forum, you would also see valid criticism of Apple as well when Apple doesn't get it right.
