JR nailed it with the "sealioning" charge and you're proof of that (as
am I and others). You spent some 3 minutes or so composing the above -
in essence a chunk of your life stolen via their denial of life attack.
So best we all ignore them and allow them to steal their own lives while
we get on with our own.
Notice *iKooks are _desperate_ to make what Apple did, just go away*
The few _adults_ on this newsgroup will notice very obviously how much the
iKooks like Alan Browne & Jolly Roger _hate_ everything Apple does.
The iKooks _hate_ that Apple spends millions advertising what amounts to
extremely silly marketing gimmicks - which - iKooks hate - are what the
Apple customers desire (rest assured that Apple marketing is NOT stupid!).
*Notice the iKooks can't change the fact of what Apple actually did.*
In the iKooks' desperation to make what Apple did "go away", the iKooks
blame everyone who is NOT an iKook for talking about what Apple did.
Adult: Did you notice what Apple did?
iKook: Go away. I hate you. And I hate what Apple did. Go away I say!
Since I study the iKooks' behavior, my assessment of the fact the iKooks
_hate_ what Apple did is that the iKooks' belief system is imaginary.
What Apple did shows what idiotic stuff iPhone owners really care about.
What iKooks _hate_ is that Apple embarrassed them by making that obvious.

That kind of person uses the iPhone to pretend to be what they're not.
The iKook uses the iPhone to raise their distorted sense of self esteem.
A normal person does not need to do that.
Only these strange iKooks do.
*iKooks _hate_ what Apple did - so they just want it to go away!*
What Apple did, adults will notice, is tell us EXACTLY what Apple
Marketing thinks makes the Apple consumer spend money on iPhones.
a. Yellow iPhones
b. Emoji
Note the lack of functional components in an iPhone, such as sd slots,
aux jacks, removable batteries, working FM radios, integrated modems, etc.
and certainly note the lack of functional software such as wi-fi &
cellular data firewalls, gps spoofers, automatic call recording,
graphical signal strength debuggers, TOR browser anonymity, etc.
advertising resources in promoting those gimmicks - because they work.
The Apple customer doesn't want functional things.
They want gimmicks.
If the gimmicks didn't work, Apple would add the missing functionality.
But the gimmicks do work.
So why bother adding the hard stuff you listed as missing from the iPhone.
Gimmicks are easier to add and easier to advertise.
Functionality is harder. Much harder to add.
Even harder to advertise because the competitor always already has it.
But the competitor doesn't have a yellow phone. Nor the same emoji.
