A waste of natural resources.  Hopefully they're easy to disassemble and recycle!

Excellent 60 minutes article on Google last night.  Amazing the power and monopoly this company has.  The EU is the only government with balls going after them.  They're too intrenched in US politics for anyone here even questioning their tactics better yet actually doing something about it.

I totally agree. Technology is just an instrument, a means to an end. If there is no ‘end’, technology is useless.

3D touch is another thing... it’s been totally gimmicky and they haven’t convinced the end user of any real use for it, other than app icon shortcuts. Removing it makes the interface more simple and production cheaper.

I think 3D touch for keyboard text editing is invaluable.  So easy to hard press and scroll the cursor back to fix a typo earlier in a sentence.  That alone is the killer app and substantiates the technology for me.  They should just promote it more.  I've talked to so many people with iPhones that support 3D touch that have no idea of this feature.  When I show them they're blown away.  They put a lot of R&D into this tech they should promote the hell out of it.  

As for AR, I have yet to use a single app on my X that uses it.  Seems like a huge waste.  If someone were to show me a practical AR app that I would fine useful I'd be all over it, but I'm not going to download a silly pool game just to use it.  

I was seriously considering this until I learned there's no wireless charging on top, that would have been a game changer.  

I subscribe to apple music and love it, but if I find an album I really like, I'll buy it on Bandcamp if I can, and if not there then on iTunes.
