Comments here are mostly “Steve wouldn’t have had this thing I didn’t like” - most of them ignoring the drawbacks the iPhones had under Steve. Oh it would’ve been flat on a table? Like the 3G? It would’ve had a headphone jack? Because Stephen famously loved buttons and ports?

I think this is one of those things where people get to air their grievances with iPhone while not actually saying “I personally think (whatever) is terrible.”. They won’t get flamed as bad in the comments because they’re not saying it. They’re saying “It’s what Steve would have wanted.”

Steve was neurotic about certain specific things and it’s impossible to know what would have triggered him in the later iterations of Apple products.
