I will not buy any new iPhone (or iPad) as long as:

  • the iPhone costs more than 1000 Euro (or $)
  • The camera is protruding the housing, Apple this is very bad engineering! Both iPhone and iPad can only be used with a case to protect the lens. If You have no shorter camera then increase the thickness and give us more battery lifetime.
  • I want my earphone connector back.
So Apple, if You want me back as customer, there is a chance.
Not everything that is old is bad!

I guess Apple will have to figure out what to do after losing you as a customer...

You're putting a case on it anyway, what difference does the protruding camera make?

Wired headphones are firmly sitting in the past now and they're not coming back. Shell out $50 for some JBL Bluetooth earbuds and don't look back.

There's the iPhone XR. 95% of the XS Max for less than 70% of the price.


If you're still not convinced, Xiaomi will sell you a phone that looks just like the iPhone but costs some 500 yuan or whatever they cost in China.
