I have an iPhone 7 and I was reluctant to change because of FaceID, which I don’t like, and screen size of new models. This SE makes me think the opposite: I look forward changing. So it is a real game changer.

(I don’t buy Android because I’ve been bitten by the non-encrypted memory before, and Google isn’t serious about privacy).

Price: 10k$ per user. Fair enough if we’re billing the army for an app with a huge bug bounty.

Are you telling me there is a market of an intermediate OS? Because I would be ready to pay about $250/year/user for a Linux that is as good as Mac, but with cheaper and more maintainable gear than the iMac. It’s almost as if Apple were trying to tell us there’s an intermediate market up for grabs, but they’re still to close to it for any incumbent to try their luck. Canonical was close to it, but stuck to the wrong business model and decided to switch to Unity in 2013 instead of stabilizing Ubuntu. Product roadmaps are hard. Jony Ive is available, just saying ;)
