I still have my iPhone 12 Pro that I preordered and got in release day and it still does everything I can ask of it, though the latest Call of Duty runs a bit slow, which is making me want to upgrade. Them not releasing a smart Siri that answers to more than just basic prompts is really hurting them and I can see why investors sued them. There's no reason for me to have to use ChatGPT on an iPhone, I should be able to talk to Siri like she's an actual personal assistant and not just an easier way to check the weather and set a timer.

This happens all the time and is super irksome. Being able to step backwards as well as forwards is super cool. Also, being able to do that with a loop using a slider is cool.

This is absurd, they are attempting to turn your Car into a Cable TV set top box. Cable used to be ad free too! That's one of the biggest reasons everyone fled to Netflix.
