Man, if people only could wake up and stop buying this mediocre product, Apple will listen and stop this garbage but the $tupid people gives apple to continue build mediocre products.
It think it’s unlikely unless you’re talking about the possibility that the new redesigned iPhone 17 Slim or whatever Apple eventually calls it gets it. Of course, you’ll probably have to pay $300 more than the 17 Pro for the privilege of having that under display Face ID. You could also wait until the 18 Pro or 19 Pro when that feature trickles down.
So this year's it's going to be another game of avoiding the substandard (Chinese) part? Just like when some iPhone 6s has inferior Samsung chips (instead of TSMC) and when some iPhone 7-8/X had Intel modems...
