$800 ASP and the X has been THE best selling iPhone Nov 4 through January.Nobody is buying the X due to the notch. The notch is humiliating.
What other nonsense do you have to say?

So you want less usable screen space? How is it that the ears bother people so much that they'd rather have a smaller screen with the carrier/time/battery info located lower in space that would otherwise be usable by apps?
Rechargeable batteries have a natural end of life scenario as a function of the number of recharge cycles (and to a lesser degree also age). Apple even puts these numbers into its technical specs. And within these specs, you might have a point. But the age spec is far shorter than six years.
And how many charge cycles does your iPad have?
I notice it, but it’s not an annoyance or hindrance whatsoever. I’m more “annoyed” by the rounded corners, but even that isn’t too horrible. The X as a whole is a freakin’ incredible device.

Actually, I want the exact opposite of that. I want 100% usable space, AKA a rectangle. The notch and the rounded corners create huge pockets of UNUSABLE space. Have you seen the "safe" (usable) content area for an iPhone X? It's completely gimped because of the notch and rounded corners.
To be perfectly frank, I don’t really care about a smaller notch. Of course, everyone wants more screen space, but let’s be honest how much of “usable” space would we get from a smaller notch...like 2 pixels? I couldn’t care less.
The only thing I do not like is the battery % missing from lock screen. Apple could at least swap the carrier signal for that and move the wifi/cellular icon to the left and add % to the battery icon.
After owning several generations of the iPhone (from original to 6s Plus [wife has 8]) I've learned to wait for the S variant. It's always a better more polished experience and lasts far longer as they push iOS to do more. I've gone from hating iOS 11 to loving most of it.There’s no need to make it smaller. I don’t even notice the notch and got used to it rather quickly. Just for the love of god, make it faster. Face ID is great technology, but the first generation is really slow. Remember how fast Touch ID was on the 7/7Plus? It unlocked the moment you’ve put your finger on the Home button. It was so blazingly fast that we unlocked our phones even by accident! Now you need to wait like .5 seconds.
What are the safety implications for the human eye of a rear-facing true depth camera? Makes no sense.
I merely post the truth. Please don't hate me.$800 ASP and the X has been THE best selling iPhone Nov 4 through January.

I just posted 2 facts versus your zero. You post nonsense and I refute it which you can’t respond with anything but more nonsense.I merely post the truth. Please don't hate me.
In the latest MBP, Apple replaced Function keys with TouchBar. In a way, it is not dissimilar to the transition from Touch ID to Face ID. I'm just curious about your take, by judging logic and history, on the likelihood for the Function keys to come back.

That long term goal doesn't seem to include it in the Magic Keyboard, or any (i)Mac Pro keyboards.Knowing modern Apple they have a long term goal for the touch bar. This is only the first iteration. I would guess it is full touch keyboard / interface with haptic that changes depending what you are doing.
Might want to change the facts before making such a statement.Nobody is buying the X due to the notch. The notch is humiliating.
Apple only carries over every feature from “flagship” to “flagship”. Clearly a trend set with the SE. Non-flagships “lose” certain features. I think there will be a version of an “Apple Pencil” on a future iPhone.That long term goal doesn't seem to include it in the Magic Keyboard, or any (i)Mac Pro keyboards.
Like 3DTouch not to be included or emulated in iPad, budget phones, etc.
Like Apple Pencil not to be included in anything but "Pro" iPads.
Raises the question what the long term goal is - anyway
So TouchBar isn't coming to Magic- and (i)Mac Pro keyboards because those aren't flagship ?Apple only carries over every feature from “flagship” to “flagship”. Clearly a trend set with the SE.

3dt is about maximizing interaction on small factor screens. An larger iPad screen has less limitations due to screen size.
I can’t speak about the computer lineup as I don’t “follow” it like others do, nor do I really care about Touch bar.So TouchBar isn't coming to Magic- and (i)Mac Pro keyboards because those aren't flagship ?
And iPad (Pro)'s are being denied calculator and stock apps because....euhh..
Aside your assumptions, I'd describe this phenomenon as halfbaken (Cooky) rollouts.
iPad screensize could easily accomodate 3dt or even a more spatious version of it. That real problem is that scalability For larger screens hasn't been foreseen/developed/integrated in platform strategy.
Lots of lullophobia to diffuse how lack of strategy is paired with lack of communicationI can’t speak about the computer lineup as I don’t “follow” it like others do, nor do I really care about Touch bar.
Aside your assumptions re ipad...Apple plans every move to a “t”. And they have discussed 3dt on an an iPad and have planned for it, and it’s coming or decided against it. Just admit you assumed.
I thought deflectionophibia was a thing of the past.Lots of lullophobia to diffuse how lack of strategy is paired with lack of communication
