They say imitation is the purist form of flattery. And FYI, It's apple doing the imitating.

No Rene's are the worst. His headlines, His pictures and his shill'ing of apple products to a fault. There is one thing to be apple centric, but there is entirely different thing to be obsessed to a mental level.

Completely agree.
Rene almost needs therapy or something.
He's so far in the bag for Apple "everything" -- it's crazy.

I wish someone would get this across to Gruber.

It is so tiring to see him pointing out companies "copying Apple"...as if Apple doesn't do the same thing...ALL the time.

He has turned into an "ok boomer" meme for the Apple space.

I think it’s equally hilarious the folks that are his sycophants, doing the Good Work of Lord Prosser, pasting the URL to his videos far and wide :D
That sounds a lot like Macrumors. You mustn’t be too hard on them, though. They have a responsibility to credit their sources, no matter how much it upsets their readers. ;)
 
Anyone else sick of how clickbait-y YouTube has gotten? Even more legitimate YTers (which I wouldn’t file Prosser under) with these thumbnails of themselves looking very cringey, with a title that has at *least* three words in CAPS BECAUSE IMPORTANT. (😉)
I reported Prosser numerous times for his clickbait videos and the MR mods wouldn't do anything. Very frustrating.

What exactly is the phone lacking from a practical must have to be able to function make calls and texts etc. in this world feature?
The only thing I can think of is touchID and ditch FarceID and give us a few customization options. TouchID will give us a full screen without the stupid notch and the customization will give us some fresh looks on our phone. Other than that I am fine with my 11. So, when they ditch the notch, I will probably get a new phone. This year, nope. They made the notch narrower and deeper. Hell a tiny bezel up top all the way across would have been much nicer.

A Touch ID alternative under the screen would be nice. My post was more about any essential features in order to function in society on a day to day basis. A lot of people around here complain year after year that Apple isn't innovating etc. when the phone already does so much more than anyone of us ever imagined from the start.

Apple logo on the back would be the best place. Your finger automatically goes there when holding the phone. Yes, Every smartphone is crazy when you think about it. I just wish mine was bug free. Never got around to trying the setup as new. Been crazy busy.

Or beating around the bush and stalling for time to get you stay around longer before actually saying what you came for. Just say it up front, then provide value after. Do not waste my time.

That's where the magsafe ring is.
 
yeah, magsafe is a gimmick anyways. I never have an issue placing my phone on its charger. Unless I am really drunk. The cases etc are a non issue as well.

Yep. Imore breeds loonies. Thats why I am here. The normal apple user to Loony crazed apple can do no wrong user is 10 to 1 here, instead of 1 to 10 over there.
Agreed, although I still like it when Luke fixes or upgrades macs, but he seems to be doing that less these days and has jumped on the bandwagon. Have gotten some great advice from this forum over the years, so I'm right there with you.

No, MR, I get. Every time they Prosserlytize, they get a LOT of views to their ads, so there’s a financial benefit. John C. Dvorak could show up with an editorial and it’d be financially silly for MR NOT to post about it.

For the Prosser fans, though? I don’t know, maybe they have a discord they go to compare who’s sharing the most links?
 
I like Rene Ritchie. He's as passionate about Apple as I am, if not a little more. Don't understand the hate on a site titled MacRumors lol.

Prosser? Love the leaks, can't stand the damn videos. Cringe FEST.
