In what bizarro universe are veteran operations guys responsible for design - particularly in a company built entirely on its reputation for groundbreaking design? Why is Apple seemingly so terrified of bringing in new blood? The stagnation and lack of forward looking design ideas is gradually eroding the Apple brand.

It also looks really crappy with the profile face in the foreground now made smaller. Like it's a miniature head, hovering on top of the bigger face. Really incompetent.

Yet another clueless flyweight gaming effort from Apple, in a world of gaming heavyweight actors. It's beyond pathetic that Apple completely fails to understand what real gamers need and want. And no, that doesn't include grandmothers, who might happily buy "Hot Dog Stand Simulator 2018" as a birthday gift for little Andrew, 7 years old.

Jeez, if Apple wants to be anything of consequence in gaming, they need to do something bold, like buying Steam. That's what an entry ticket looks like. After that, they'd need to dedicate real resources to it long term. Something they've NEVER done with any of their feeble attempts so far.

I have this terrible feeling that MacOS will be dumbed down in order to make it "easier to navigate" for iPhone users. Like when a much used website suddenly is remade with a "mobile first" design approach. Everything becomes huge and space wasting for users with a big screen.

I too have a beloved 12 Mini. Funny that Apple decides to just ignore those of us who prefer a smaller form factor. I'll hold on to my perfect size phone until Apple launches a similar sized model again.
