It's true, iPhones are amazing devices. What I don't care for is that the advances in mobile devices seem to come at the expense of computers. I understand that mobile devices are where the money is so that's where the focus is, but Apple built it's reputation on computers and it seems a shame to me that Apple has put them on the bottom shelf.
For me, I don't need all the things that smartphones offer. They have functions and apps that are convenient, but not necessary. The "phones" keep getting larger and more expensive and a new one comes out every year and (to me) that smells of planned obsolescence.
I had an iPhone 5, then an iPhone 6, but I don't really need anything more from a phone than a phone. I wonder if the popularity of getting a new smartphone every year is a form of mass hysteria.
Any way, I switched to a LG Revere flip phone and don't feel that I'm missing anything. That's just me, to each his own.

...and a lot more. But those are the things I'll use in the course of daily life.

I have computers as well. Content creation (other than photographic/video/audio capture) is best done on a computer.

I had an iPad five years ago. It was a content consumption and reference device, but not as convenient for things best done on the iPhone or Mac/PC.

I don't (yet) see a need for the smart watch.

But the iPhone and Macs are probably the two things I have that are truly satisfying to use, and I use them a LOT.

Apple today introduced its third generation Watch, a new Apple TV 4K, iPhone 8, and iPhone X (pronounced ten).

The amount of change they have revealed in just one year is mind boggling. I won't talk about it here... Their web site has all the details.

The new iPhone cameras are scary good. You have to see the demo to understand why.

And turning your face into an animated emoji (animoji) that talks in your own voice with YOUR expressions? Priceless... You can even turn your face into an animated pile of poo! (as Craig Federighi demonstrated live)

I'm as stunned today as I was in January, 2007, watching Steve Jobs reveal the first iPhone.

The Apple naysayers will now come out from under the bridge. But do yourselves a favor, naysayers, and go to the web site and watch the demos and films.
