Perhaps a actual full screen edge to edge, no notch,  would be great. Oh and also from a usability standpoint point, please stop making iPhones with buttons across from each other!!!!! Anyone who says they have never accidentally screenshot when they were trying to volume up or other is either a liar,  or no clue what a screenshot is. Apple design is actually quite repulsive, putrid, horrible!! The only difference is the competition is worse. Well , actually better hardware/function design, but worse is and everything else!  

All we need is the right to repair law, and a “restore it as I bought it law”. (Firmware downgrades to the point the device was out of the box.)  Just about every argument against this is always admonished with fear mongering tactics. 

I’m both nervous and excited for Apple’s future. I like that Apple is seemingly taking the more vertically integrated approach by way of M1 Apple silicon. I’m worried, Apple may also possibly use this to fully control the user experience, to the point of detriment of its user base. 

I love that Apple is breaking free of “evil inside” intel. I also like, the fact that Apple can now maneuver more quickly without the intel monkey on its back. Intel sits waaay too long on their chipsets, and definitely stifled/slowed apples progression. That said,  sarcastic part here; why not just start in with the M2 chip or hell M3,4,5,6 ooh how about the MX!!? I mean cmon no one buys 1.0 of anything anymore anyway.  To be clear, it’s also just as annoying to “innovate” so fast products don’t get a chance to land/mature.  By moving so fast you alienate and leave folks frustrated. Owning a product for less than a year only to find its now incompatible with the latest features is just plain rude. Last months/weeks iPad Pro owners, sure are feeling the pain of that. Ok, enough of my complaining. Now the solution. Never ever buy anything Apple New again.  Second market is the way to go! If you have the luxury of time on your side, don’t buy unless it’s a super deal… as many used Apple products have a unrealistic or way too high re-sale asking.  Rule of thumb for buying used electronics, (a good deal) is at least 50% depreciation. Hope this helps someone out there, and helps get realistic pricing back on track for Apple stuff.  

Lame. Security through obscurity not good. Apple may also be trying to disrupt the second market and further crush right to repair. Shrugs. Sad.
