user replaceable battery?
I'm no apple fan, but some of these features don't really mean much, like the screen refresh rate, data transfer rate, or codec support. Pretty small subset of users are going to care about these, the vast majority of people just browse, play simple games, and maybe run a map or spotify or whatever.
That said, the 16 is built to use Apple's AI, and that's pretty much reason enough for me to not want to go anywhere near it. I'll buy an older model before I support this AI crap.
It would be fine to have released a phone that is spec'ed for a basic user case. My problem is the expert user level price point for it. Disregarding all other gripes about Apple, that is.
