What are they selling?
1. New
2. Thin.. (or both).
This is all you're going to get for your $800. Why would I trade my much more capable camera, and phone for either of these two:
New but worse, or thin...
Does anyone care about thin? who doesn't own a case for their phone these days? When you invest a grand on a phone you have a case.
Everyone who carries a phone could probs benefit from losing a pound or two - and we're expected to care about fractions of an ounce?
I know Apple catches a lot of flac for its iterative design for the last 15+ years, instead of doing any 'new' design - and I always defend them. However, this is the first release that just seems like a money grab, or.. pointless.
What % of customers have been clamoring for a slightly thinner phone and a worse camera.
Why not spend that R&D on things customers care about... uh.. useful AI..
Who cares about your stupid glassmorphic UI, and your slow drip of improvements. I'm sure you have a 10 year plan to get rid of 'the notch'.. each version coming out making it a bit less noticeable. Horrible business model since Jobs died.
