OK, this is what I am talking about. Apple has been a shambling corpse for years.

This loving bullshit BUTTON is a solution seeking a problem. No one will use it for anything but ring/silent. You can't just introduce a complete new interface element like this that improves/solves nothing. But it kept people busy for a year.

Absolute waste of everyone's time.
TouchBar 2.0. Will be gone or repurposed on the 16.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

Yea but, like a lot of these features, how often are most Americans going to be at risk for roadside issues (cars are more reliable than ever) in a place without cell signal?

Going to be pretty rare for the vast majority of iPhone buyers. This is a manufactured demand. But that doesn't mean folks won't snap it up.

Most Americans rarely go farther than ten minutes from work or home.

A lot of the geography of the country though still has bad or no cell service and it’s getting worse not better. This really isn’t the place for how fraudulent coverage maps are and honestly I am sure there are better people to talk about it. But it’s good some coverage is going to these places.

There was something really nice about looking at the side, seeing the orange, and knowing it was silent.

It's dumb and trivial but I legit liked it. One of my favorite things about iPhones.

There a geographical reasons why some places don't have cell signal that aren't particularly remote. The road into Estes Park just got cellphone coverage this year.

Yeah but, this gets into self insuring for remote risks vs. paying for this feature you'll likely never use. Sure on the road to Estes Park, but exactly how likely is it you'll get roadside issues in that area?

Cars are super reliable if you don't let yourself run out of fuel, and check tires..... EVs are incapable of many failures people previously needed roadside assistance for, so the need will lessen even more over time.
