I don’t get why someone wouldn’t buy an iPhone 7 instead and just not activate cellular. On Amazon there are iPhone 7s for under $300.

People like me, prefer portable devices. Plus $200 is a good price point for folks looking to get into iOS in developing nations which puts 20-40% tariffs. Developers need to have test devices. Plus which other iOS device has 256GB storage within $400 ?

Does the target market for this device need 256GB? Plus it looks like the only thing they really updated was the processor. Not sure why it took this long to do a processor bump. Honestly the only reason to buy this is if you absolutely must have a headphone jack.

iPod Touches & iPad (WiFi only) needs the most storage.Not everyone has WiFi at work & travel.

Looks good. Might pick this up as a secondary device for my SE.

That is excellent.  has 355 suppliers in China. 250+ in Japan almost 60 in USA. That China number should spread out over Indonesia, Thailand, India,Bangladesh,Vietnam.

and when Siri fails to recognize my command again and sidetracks to something completely different and the text corrections fails horribly (or embarrassingly) and a modal popup blocks my input ... that certainly makes my emotions play up

All voice assistants suck. There is nothing to do about that.
