I'm holding out till the iPhone has at least 8 cameras on the back
this 3-4 camera business just won't cut it for me!
and I need at least 8 terrapixel at least, for the front mount camera.
and maybe 200 terrapixels for the back camera
I don't want high res pictures of the  moon
i want mega def photos of Pluto

Apple seems to be the only company that makes it dead simple to cancel a subscription.  I don’t think they get enough credit for not pulling these shenanigans that many other companies do.

Companies have gotten so greedy and these are the companies governments should be going after. 

Unfortunately this is the natural progression of capitalism.
if I'm the CEO of Adobe, it's not enough for me to be making 10-15% profit anymore.
i have to make 10,  then 15, then 20 etc
there is no way to meet those targets without this type of greed and basically screwing your end user
and getting every last dime out of them.
and adding fees and extra add-ons (looking at you doordash )
otherwise you're not getting your multi million dollar bonus.
and this will only get worse .

another list not based on facts, but based on inclusiveness
gotta check those boxes!

lauryn hill at #1?
seriously?

yes i learnt my lesson
i don't jump IOS versions anymore
i had a perfectly working ipad 2, updated ios and it could not even load the yahoo homepage
sluggish and unusable
so now i go to the latest of the iOS that came on the device
so if i had iOS 15 i go the last version of that, say 15.9
and never jump to iOS 16

ipads works for ages as they have large all day batteries
so even when they get old, they still work for many hours
great for browsing, checking sports results, streaming etc
the majority of which don't really need the latest and greatest to work
other than gaming and maybe photo/video editing you don't really need  an M4 super max ultra to work
i am still using my 2ng gen ipad pro 11" works great, cuz its still on iOS 15.7.2
i use FB, instagram , some silly games, and browsing.
i rarely, if ever, need to turn on my laptop now

I highly doubt the number of people that need top quality pictures, AND insist on using an iPhone as opposed to a proper camera, is not higher than 10% tops, and I'm being generous.

for the other 90% they couldn't care less, and would much rather have a thicker phone with a 2-3 day battery, and no fugly hump on the back.
I would be interested if there was ever a survey that showed what the highest requested features are on smart phones 

I don't agree with the first line of your post, but I agree with the rest of your post. People do want lots of battery endurance for their smartphones. That is one of the key reasons (probably the second in order of priority, first being cameras) for Pro Max being the most popular option among the iPhones.

i found this from 2018, but i don't think its as high now as it was then
since cameras are already pretty darn good now. we didn't have 48 megapixel cameras in 2018
battery life has pretty much stayed the same, yes they are a lot more efficient, but we also keep adding features so the usage/capacity has stayed the same
and i can tell you durability has not really changed since iphone 4ish
you drop any gen phone from the iphone 4 on to iphone 15 on the ground and you are cracking front glass or back glass (we didn't need to worry about back glass in the early gens since it was plastic)
yeah yeah they use gorrila glass 18 now, but it still breaks. 

so my point is why do they only focus on the camera (s)?
