OMG 🤦‍♂️ Apple Apple Apple...

Are you seriously thinking a phone with bezels is ok to produce and sell with Apple’s high quality and top-notch (pun intended) design? In 2020??

Guys, please. Just listen to what customers want! You used to do that remember? Listen to customers? Is that so difficult? Why you keep focusing on profit and worn out speeches “that you care for the user experience” when your real motto is “let’s see how high we can price this ‘new’ stuff?”.

The specs of your products are a joke. You actually sell stuff that doesn’t do much so you have to pay the next price upgrade like extra realistic memory and end up with a very expensive phone/laptop and a buyer’s remorse: “Why the heck I spend so much money on something that is not going to last much any way cause next year I will just have an old phone that is surpassed by the new version?”. And sorry, the one you bought awfully expensive is now cheaper on the shelfs. You self-proclamed-design-gurus are really kicking out your most trusted and loyal customers one at a time. And is sad.

If you are still confused on what to do? Let’s summarize: iPhone SE starting point design which has Touch ID, compact size format to fit jeans pockets and one-handed navigation, latest processor chip, full front face screen, can have a single and capable camera of course, and reasonable and fair price. If I want to browse a big screen then I get home or the office to use mi iPad or iPad Mini or laptop. That’s it. Don’t burn your geniuses brains. Add or improve some specifications accordingly to what the masses want, but this should be a good start. Please, don’t waste your time and resources producing this iPhone 8-like phone, is an insult, to customers and to yourselves.

I can’t stop thinking about your own commercial “Choose a Vista!” because you are now the PC guy:

Rest of the world: Hi Mac
Apple: Hi Customers
RotW: What you got here Mac? (pointing at spinning wheel)
Apple: We are introducing new iPhones like all types of specifications, sizes, colors and prices... lots of prices, we like that. Coz is complicated you can end up paying a lot of money for a phone that is only going to last one year of novelty or pay too little and end up with a phone that doesn’t does much.
RofW: Well we now have so many affordable options with huge specs and cool features around the world...
Apple: Well, that’s boring... and no profit.
(Apple spins the wheel)
Apple: Choose an iPhone 👏👏👏 Cook daddy needs a new iPhone...
Wheel: iPhone SE 2 - You lose a turn.
RotW: Didn’t you made this?

Anyone else find it odd that we have supply chain rumors for the 4.7" but the only thing that we have is a leaked placeholder in a leaked version of iOS 14? This seems to reek of "subject-to-change". Also, as an iPhone 7 Plus user that needs a new phone months ago, I'm not sure it makes sense for me to wait that long just for Apple to MAYBE update the Plus line. Also...what happens if the 4.7" phone is released now with no 5.5" phone? Are we really thinking that they'll have a lineup where the iPhone 8 is replaced by the iPhone 9, but is still sold alongside the iPhone 8 Plus until they release the 9 Plus? Seems off to me...
