"...its existing one billion installed base of iPhone users..."
Didn't the "one billion" figure refer to all Apple devices and computers active?
Anyone remember more accurately?

Oh, and, "...almost ten years later we have devolved into a society of buffoons..."
Actually, I believe studies show we have always pretty much been a society of buffoons.

1. Apple ships you the new phone via email and charges your CC the full price of the iPhone                                                                                                                                

I know Apple is very innovative and imaginative, but, please explain how they can ship iPhones via email...?

Yep, looks like that'll work, but the waiting period seems to be about 350 years...?

I'm sure the strange look has something to do with function (e.g. getting the mic close enough to your mouth) - we'll get used to it...
And I really doubt they'll be lost very often - I believe we'll treat them like anything else we paid $159 for,
and develop muscle-memory to deal with it, and we'll just get used to it...and after we do, something else will come along.
I'd expect this sort of resistance from subscribers to 'Luddites & Troglodytes Monthly'...but, here?
You aren't still cooking in a fire pit in the middle of your cave floor, are you?
Well, it seems like some people are - and they shouldn't be bothering with Apple, or, for that matter, with any company with an imagination.

No, Sog, NOT "waterproof".
IP67 means totally dust-proof, but for water, "protected against the effect of immersion between 15cm and 1m".
For the record, a Galaxy7 - not that I'd ever own one, is IP68, which supposedly means "protected against long periods of immersion under pressure".
I think it's been demonstrated that these ratings leave something to be desired "in the field".
