And guys, if you want to switch from an iPhone but you're worried about Apple Music -- which is a good service, don't question it -- get an Android with Spotify. It's honestly the same.

If you commit to never posting on CP again as a result of them going under, I'm sure there's a chance.

There's an Apple Music app for Android. It's decent but it obviously isn't as integrated into the OS like on an iPhone. Spotify and Google Play are both respectable replacements.

I applaud Apple for taking the step of removing the headphone jack, assuming they're using the saved space to add battery. I use bluetooth headphones on the go and have it in my vehicles too so I won't miss it. I've never charged my phone while using headphones. I feel bad for those who want to, but I don't think it's a big deal.

I'll probably get the new iPhone, like always. I'd like to see the camera improvements. They've been lagging behind in that respect.

Someone says this literally every year after the keynote. One day they'll be right, but I don't see it happening soon.

Apple's days will be numbered eventually, but probably not for 10 more years at least. Sitting on $260 billion in cash doesn't hurt (well, maybe a little).

The only thing that bugs me about Apple is Jony Ive. His smugness factor is too high and those announcement videos with his voice overlay are just comical.

Other than that, Apple's new moto should be "It's just...business".

Why do you care? For someone who just stated they would never buy an iPhone, you sure seem to be opinionated and curious about it.

Because I'm in the market for a cell phone, and despite the fact that I dislike iPhones, I like to be in the know about specs?

It is a 12, I looked it up.

You don't even know if you dislike iPhones, you've never owned one!

Apple is the worst because of both "Apple people" and "anti-Apple people." Having an impassioned opinion about a phone is just so fancy.

For the record I love Apple. Not only for their products but also.. And I'll paraphrase Phil Schiller, what a courageous company they are.

My family has four iPhones. I've had plenty of opportunities to try them out.

I'm not inherently anti-Apple -- I still love the 5 and the 5S -- but they are notoriously forceful of their own products' obsolescence. The last time I went into an Apple Store, I was browsing, and they asked me about if I owned any Apple products. I responded that, yes, I own an iPad mini 2. They tried to get me to buy an iPad mini 4 because my iPad was "antiquated and obsolete". I bought it under three years ago.

Joking aside, no one cares.

You were in an Apple store and they tried to sell you stuff? The gall of them!

I don't care that they tried to sell me stuff. Referring to my barely-two-year-old iPad as antiquated, though? That's what bugs me.

But MMF is right, it isn't that big of a deal.
