I love this!! Stick it to the man. Not everybody has a USB-c charging block, considering almost all iPhones until very recently have been regular USB charging cord.

You're spot on.  All these chargers everyone supposedly already have, are mostly not USB-C and aren't compatible with the cable included with the new phones.  It's obvious this was simply a way to get people to spend more.  The "reduced carbon emissions" reasoning is only a creative excuse to put a better (albeit false) spin on it.

Nice camera bump!

I like the new haptic touch rather that the inconsistencies introduced by the 3D Touch of having to know how hard and how long to press which resulted in a confused mix of actions. 

I have to agree.  Seems like most people liked 3D Touch, but it was so inconsistent for me.  I could never quite master it and found it frustrating.  I didn't even realize it was gone after updating to iOS 13, but was pleasantly surprised how much easier Haptic Touch was for me.

Seeing as 128 GB isn’t big enough for most people, this computer is no bang for your buck.

Exactly.  These minuscule SSDs are almost offensive.

Given claims the larger drives are faster, I'd like to see a comparison of the read/write speeds for all the available drives.

I hope these renders are a guess and not the real thing.  I can't believe Ive would sign-off on anything that ugly.
