Apple Adds iPhone 6 to 'Vintage Product' List

The game industry has been doing it for awhile - for example:

NES Classic Edition - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

I don't see a mention of it on Wikipedia, but my understanding is that Nintendo had millions of parts stocked up for the Wii U, but the Wii U was such a commercial flop it didn't make sense to actually assemble those- they wouldn't have sold if Nintendo had built them.

So instead Nintendo built them into the simpler NES Classic.

IDK... does Nintendo have a bunch of those awful Wii U touchscreens laying around in storage somewhere? That had to have been one of the worst parts of the console. Apple had shown the world how to do touchscreens right with the iPhone in 2007, and for nobody knows why, Nintendo released a console with a touchscreen that felt like it belonged on a Palm from the 90s in 2012.

What was so awful about the Wii-U Touchscreen? It has excellent pixel density for a 2012 device and I use it all the time for games and mostly YouTube videos. If you want an awful touchscreen look no further than the Coby Kyros MID7015 Android tablet.

It seems like yesterday when I was horrified by that first camera bump.

Now my iPhone 14 Pro practically has its own phone stand.

You mean: your 14 Pro camera bump comes with a phone!

Heck, I remember when the Galaxy S6 came out with a camera bump as well, but it was the outrage over losing removable battery and expandable storage (and waterproofing which the S5 had without losing anything) that made Samsung at least bring back the SD card, sadly, only to remove it in the S21.

What happened to companies listening to the customers? Was everything I was taught in Economics a total lie? I've been demanding a phone with a 4" screen, removable battery, Ir blaster, and notification LED for a long time only to be continually disappointed. If not for Straight Talk finally killing my HTC Thunderbolt in September this year I'd be fine, but now I'm stuck with a 6.5" device that looks like every other phone out there and doesn't fit me one bit.
