Hehhehheh... the way I know you are low IQ nospam is you can't keep your excuses for Apple fucking the customer straight.
First, you said it was additive, and now you say it's not too subtractive.
apple is adding new useful functionality,
something entirely lost on the bashers.
What's NOT lost on the "bashers", nospam, is you can't keep your excuses straight. First you say it's additive, now you say it's subtractive.

Again.
Apple _never_ has your best interest in mind, nospam, _especially_ when
Apple is removing functionality inexorably, year after year, from the
iPhone.
It's a key component of Apple's strategy to _remove_ functionality.
It's never done for you. It's _always_ done to increase Apple's profits.
there are always tradeoffs (another thing the trolls do not understand).
Hehhehheh... first you said it was only additive, and now you claim it's
not too badly subtractive... and yet... you claim nobody but you
understands?
Methinks you don't have enough of an IQ to come up with a better excuse.
It's obvious what Apple is doing which I predicted Apple would do for
years, and which Apple has proven me correct year after year after year.
Apple decontents iPhones to restrict the choices the customer has.
Each time, Apple makes up a new excuse but the reason is always the same. Profits.
By controlling your options, Apple controls their profits.
And yet you think only you understands what Apple is doing, nospam.

How can removing what you already have be good when Apple could have
provided both if they wanted to add to the capability of the iPhone?
So you think that every PC sold today—laptops included—should have a
3.5" and 5.25" floppy drive?
Because how can removing what they already had be good...
...right?

You always bring up that floppy disk argument every time something useful
is removed from the iPhone that you think is not needed and not wanted.
It's like you can't think of any other argument for whatever it is that
Apple removed except to say nobody wanted it and nobody needed it.
It doesn't matter to you what Apple removed.
Your argument is always going to be nobody needed it and nobody wanted it.
You bring up a floppy it's really the only thing you ever understood.
Things change.

What doesn't change is you use the same incorrect argument that everything Apple removes (no matter what it is) was not wanted & not needed by anyone.

That's not "why" he brought it up. He brought it up as a last absurd
example after the trolls keep repeating the same nonsense over and over again. iPhone dropped the 3.5mm jack a long time ago. The world has
moved on. Never had SD cards or changeable batteries. But the trolls
keep banging on that. Sheesh!
Apple have long been amongst the first to drop peripherals or features
that are "dated" and to be surprised that they're changing things going forward is pretty silly.
Most of all for something like a mute switch - sheesh!

They are removing the switch and replacing it with buttons.
Buttons dont
provide a visible indication unless they can be latched physically.

I've never made that argument.

You didn't really need to say that because everyone knows Apple drops necessary peripherals and features in order to make more money off you.

the rumour is that the physical mute switch will be replaced by a
haptic button (singular) which can be configured to *also* do a variety
of other things *in* *addition* to mute. that's an *enhancement*.
Buttons don¹t
provide a visible indication unless they can be latched physically.
too bad there isn't a screen that can show status icons.
oh wait...
Apple has run out of useful new features to provide so they just change useful old features to make it seem like youre getting enhancements.
At
the same time they provide extra new hardware to buy in order to get the
same functionality back.

the evidence supports the opposite.

no, they add new hardware for new functionality.
it doesn't make sense to add new hardware for the same functionality
without any additional benefit.
