    You’re 100% correct, but I will point out that the iPhone hasn’t really seen any significant design changes since the 11 - arguably the X. That was seven years ago. The same thing has been happening with their Macbook lineup where only just recently have they made major product design changes to replace their 10+ year old designs. The new Macbook Pros were a welcome breath of fresh air and indicated a shift in a new, positive direction for their Mac platform. *

    The iPhone needs a similar refresh, imho.

    *for the hardware, at least. They’ve made some questionable software choices for MacOS such as iPhone-ifying the settings menu.

      @TheFeatureCreature I couldn’t agree more! Apple’s design language was awesome… a decade ago. It’s still classic, but it’s just not unique anymore. What’s worse for Apple is that some companies have moves being Apple and had improved end slab design (looking at you One plus). It’s time to make a change to their iPhone and iPad design. I hope they do more than “make it thinner”.
