> Flat, symmetrical design? Check. Actual edges to hold onto? Check.

Every iPhone made by Apple after this, in my view, is a “wet soap”. They’re all so slippery and bound to fall from one’s hands easily. I personally cannot hold them without a case that mimics flat and better edges, essentially changing the shape of the phone to that of an iPhone SE and also increasing the weight. What a lost opportunity to make a great device again in every respect, Apple!

From a consumer’s standpoint, Apple seems so shortsighted and completely out of touch with what people love (not jut like), want and desire. Mac mini, now iPhone SE...voting with your wallets alone won’t help while ASPs of new iPhones are more and profits are increasing. Write to Tim Cook over email and let him know why you’re switching. Maybe, just maybe, when the good times start to turn bad, Apple may realize its follies and change course.

These kind of articles also help, but consumers need to voice their thoughts to Apple. Send emails to the top people and also write on Apple’s feedback page.

Consider for a moment that it's actually you that's out of touch with what people love, want, and desire.

They sold like 200 million iPhones in 2017. Hard to believe that they don't know what consumers want.


Agree. Apple marches to its own tune. But it’s also sad that it ignores passionate users who have been evangelizing its products.
