ARM probably gets more out of the "free" advertising than the royalties

Yes, I too would like for humanity to invent perpetual motion

You only feel that way because they lowered the entry price for the 14 Pro - the 13 Pro was just as much of a raw deal

How buried in the sand are you dude?

They fixed in in software like three weeks later

He gave the green-light for the antenna bands on the stainless steel bands for the iPhone 4... he even specifically called them out during the keynote.

The notch would have gotten a better explanation - the reason they chose the shape, the extra utility of the areas outside the notch, the fact that it gives the iPhone a unique silhouette against other smartphones.

He hated ugly things that didn't have a purpose.

The notch had plenty of purpose, if anything he probably would have thrown a fit at first and then declared that it was his idea a day or two later.

It most certainly was already envisioned and being actively developed on internally in different steps.

They move hundreds of millions of iPhones per year. They have tremendous amounts of planning to do in order to achieve this kind of production.

I would be shocked if the iPhone launching in 2034 doesn't already have a solid roadmap and early decisions are already being made

I mean, it makes sense.

Apple has more assets and revenue than most of the countries in the world.

Because shipping new bricks and headphones that most people already have 4 or 5 of is stupid and wasteful. The smaller box allows them to ship more product per container, reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Just like they said.

Sure, they also save money by not including the accessories.

Big fking deal.

I mean, other similar services also charge money for its usage, I'm not sure why this should be free if those aren't?
