As someone who generally enjoys Apple products (love my MacBook Pro and iPhone SE), the latest Apple event left me very worried and disappointed.
Personally, I think the entire X series of phones are trash. All of the changes they bring feel like they come from some parody Apple company. They strip away choice for something that is supposedly "better", except I have found anecdotally that few people actually like any of these changes, and even fewer prefer them so much that they want them to exist as replacements for the previous versions of the phone components that they are "improving" on.
TouchID is better than FaceID, a home button is better than having a stupid FaceID notch at the top of my screen, and headphone jacks are still important.
The idea of paying $1000+ for a phone that is in many ways a downgrade from my SE is ludicrous and I won't do it. Once the SE is no longer supported by the latest iOS I will be jumping ship to Sony, Samsung or whoever has the best phone out when the time comes. With its phones, Apple has confused its past genius innovations with nonsensical prideful changes that strip away choice from the consumer, and they have not convinced me that I am wrong and I actually somehow want these changes.
What are your thoughts on Apple's latest round of phones GAF? If they don't announce an SE2 they will have lost me as an iPhone owner.
