I take it that you’re not really familiar with Steve Jobs, or Apple for that matter, at all?

Nope spot on.

There will not be an iPhone 6.4" so you can stay with note 9

Clearly just a post to stir people up because none of those specs are rumoured or leaked for this year and some of them not rumoured for any future iPhone.

And re: the thread title, the days of iPhones selling out in seconds are gone. Even last year, the maiden outing of a plus sized face-ID, full screen iPhone didn’t lead to any significant delays despite pent up demand. Queues round the block and weeks and weeks of backorders in this age of incremental annual revisions and different consumer buying behaviour would only make Apple look inefficient and unable to deliver.

Couldn’t there also be an element of better production levels, leading to better availability?

I’m pretty sure one of Angela Ahrendts’ things was to eliminate some of the negative hoohaa around iPhone launches.

She/Apple still wanted them to sell out, but without losing lots to scalpers and the negative stuff that comes with long queues.

Part of her raison d’etre IMO, was to make the store experience a much more pleasant one, where people who have iPhone reservations can calmly stroll in, and wait in a nice pleasant area playing with other lovely Apple devices that may pique their interest.

I don’t understand the desire to have squared off chamfered edges. I assume you mean like the new iPads?

IMHO if you don’t use a case, the rounded edges are much more comfortable to hold - e.g. no sharp edges. If you do use a case you won’t see them anyway.

I’d love an iPhone with the squared corners a la new iPad or the iPhone 4.

That to me, is a sexy phone.

I’m also not fussed about USB C, as I have a lead in the car should I need it and plenty of spare Lightning leads and portable chargers, but mostly because I charge it on a wireless 5w charger overnight and rarely need to top up of a day/evening.
