Where’s the “no one needs 32GB of RAM” crowd? 
Clearly Apple thinks the customers need it........... 

The market demanded it, Apple listened. 

Or is because Intel is too slow so it doesn’t worth to wait another year.  DDR4 sounds more like a compromise.

Or is it because Apple wouldn’t design a custom controller (which they do constantly and do a wonderful job at it) and make the computer a little thicker, boosting the whr rating of the battery? 
Or just put the DDR4 in there with a little bigger battery. Sure it’s a compromise, that’s engineering. 
Sure, it’s Intel’s screw up but it can easily be designed out.

Nevermind, they are already downplaying the fact they were wrong.

Why should Apple give these away for free when they can make a good margin selling them? I guess they think that they will sell enough of additional iPhone to make up the profit and even make some more.

How about stop being such a cheap-ass company and not worry about the extra $2 a higher end charger is going to cost when you sell $1,000 phones. 

Its s a joke that iPhones ship with 5W chargers. They should at least ship the 12W iPad chargers with them. 

I wonder if the panel will be sub-par to Samsung, much like the 2012 LG panels in the mid-2012 MacBook retina.

looks like they are going to try to force a large phone on those that don't want it and have to pay more for OLED just to get the smallest screen.

You can get an SE or wait for the new SE for a smaller phone. No need to get a “big screened phone”. 

As for me, I will keep my 7+ for another year (after replacing the battery before the end of the year) but will be happy to get an “X+” version someday.
