I’m curious about the percentage of people that don’t use cases.

I don't know why anyone would prefer the longer more obtrusive oval that Apple offers for the front facing camera over the smaller circle dot of modern android phones. The dynamic island is just a way to try and market a crappier design choice if you ask me.

Are you stupid? The phone and PC industry is almost all patent-sharing. LG screens, Sony cameras… every company does this and apple’s foray into their own silicon has been unprecedented

It’s not red more of a brown

As someone who only ever uses a case when I go drinking and whose favorite color is red, I'm looking forward to it. The new reds aren't dark enough.

What a fantastically shit blog post with shit writing.

And will always look tacky

You joke but their looking at foldable so....

It's a 3 year cycle use this Ada rule of thumb

I hear the display will be some kind of primate silicate

Woopty fucking doo

I cremental changes are Like 3 generations so 11,12,13 then high change for 14, with increments at 15 and 16 the big change at 17 so if your last iPhone was 14/15 you can skip this but if it was 11-13 this set is a big leap

Tldr: it's 3 generation not 5

Clear cases do exist. ;)

To be fair the gorilla glass and other things used in even the 11 are far more durable then the first gen it's just still not good enough for a rough environ

Honest question: who cares at this point?

Phones are only getting incrementally better and cost an arm and a leg.

There is no need to upgrade your phone every year. Save your money for the next recession.

usb c on 15

So they’re going to have a dark/crimson red, a red-magenta, and the Product (RED)-red color?

USB-C too, or is that for iPhone 16?

What if I wanted my apps to be arranged from bottom to top?

What if I don’t spend money on a Mac computer just to develop for my own personal application or modifying someone’s IPA?

That's cool.

I spent 2h trying to figure out how to disable the unnecessary password prompt for free apps from the iTunes store on an iPad.

After 3 different walk-throughs all leading to dead ends (because they apparently keep changing where they hide the damn setting), I finally discovered that the toggle was disabled, greyed out, on my particular (and latest) OS model.

Wanted to share some files over Bluetooth between my Android and iPad, but the iPad couldn't do it.

I returned that shit the next day.

This has been my consistent experience at every level with iOS.

There's one way to everything, and one way only. If you need to do something that the smug design team at Apple never thought of, or they didn't think you would need to, or if there's a bug in software and you need to troubleshoot by doing it a different way, too bad: you're SOL.

The thing is I want to like iOS. I have a MacBook Pro, and it'd be nice to have a phone that plays nice with it (but Apple intentionally makes it difficult to interact with non-Apple devices).
