I do, but I also present arguments, what’s the problem with that.
Also, what has the removal of the Headphone Jack to do with MagSafe. They could have existed alongside each other. In fact, because they removed/filled a whole, the phone weighed more anyway, so what’s your point.
Honestly, you sound a little salty to me at this point ? and I don’t really understand why, it’s not like I am the phone company that’s gonna and has let you down.

No notch. That’s it. Don’t care about anything else at this point.

Interesting list! It's a bit of a mixed bag of things everyone wants (better cameras, better screens, better Siri), and things I think would be a mistake, like having a pause recording video option (as discussed here) and external display support/Slide Over/Stage Manager (I have no interest in multitasking on my phone, and I don't want the compromises they would bring).

It's worth noting that in some cases, the future is now:

• Font customization

You can do this today with AnyFont (and a couple of other apps).

• ISO/Shutter speed controls
• The ability to take full-resolution 48MP photos in HEIC format

You can do this today in Halide (and a couple of other apps, like ProCam).
