You can be dismissive if you want. Unfortunately this isn’t like years past. This is a thousand + dollar device. Many of us don’t rent our phones nor dismissively charge things and rack up debt. I’m glad I didn’t buy one. If I did I’d take it back. Apple needs to learn, the hard way. Sychophants do nothing for bettering the brand and products.
You can try to dramatize this. But there is nothing new going on here.
I've owned apple products for 20+ years at this point (I got my first Power Mac 6500/275 in 1996) and I've seen Apple about to go out of business, turn into a trillion dollar company, and piss off "professionals" (really, arm chair engineers and nerds).
The first iPhone was a wreck. I had my handset replaced 12 times. I know other people who have similar stories. I loved that thing though. You can't tell me this is worse then that. Occasionally new products have problems. Look at the new MacBooks Pros, which are even more expensive then this phone. The price doesn't matter though really, Apple will make this right. And you can always just bring the phone back.
I'm not sure what your endgame is here. You can't even claim to be an enraged consumer,
you didn't even buy the phone. Posting angrily on a forum is beyond pointless.
It's Saturday night, pour yourself a glass of your favorite poison and relax man.
