Please Apple, get over this 'thinness' obsession. They are thin enough already. We want more battery life ok!

No! We all don't want more battery life. One solid day is fine. Make it as small/thin and light as possible with enough battery life for a day.

You're right that we don't need more than one solid day's worth (IMO)... but right now we don't have that.  With light use, sure... but if one uses their phone a lot during a day, it's going to need some charging before bedtime.  Not a HUGE issue for me, as I can plug it in when needed, but it would be nice if it DID last all day. (Which it doesn't.)

1.  Same issue for me... I suppose we could just use the passcode, but that is a fair bit more distracting than Touch ID (while driving).

2.  Still one hand, just flicking down from the UL corner instead of up from the bottom. (I suppose if you have smaller hands, it might not work left handed...)

3.  Invoked the same way... you just have to swipe from the top center (or left?), because too far to the right will get you the Control Center.

I think people seem to forget that no one buys a smartphone outright; it comes on a contract. And if you don't want a contract then get it on Apple's pay monthly scheme. 

The price of an iPhone has only ever been an issue in online forums. 

Uh... that may be true for YOU... but I have 6 iPhones (some as old as 5s ... kids get old ones), all bought outright at full price.  Contrary to YOUR view, I wouldn't dream of buying one on installments.

If people have multiple AppleTVs (which I very much doubt) then that's an ideal set up for a mesh network. 

I have 4 AppleTVs.  One on each TV in and around my house. Why would that be surprising to you? (and yes, it would make for an ideal mesh network!)

yeah... I'm with the group that gets 2 days out of my Apple Watch between charges.
