I think there are a lot of legit complaints about the new announcements and lack of improvements, but this post seems pretty weak. Fn keys aren't really gone, they're just present in another form (the touch bar). The other complaint is just about ports. It's not so hard to have a dongle that has these ports, and just plugs into the new one. Sure, a little annoying, but it doesn't exactly kill your workflow.

And the keikaku[0] is quite obviously to provide incentive for accessory manufacturers to build type-c native stuff, and eventually have an all-type-c ecosystem and little to no need for "dongles" (which incidentally should mostly be basic cables)

[0] keikaku means plan

It's nice that you're learning Japanese, but why not use "plan" instead of adding a footnote?
It's a joke/dumb reference from the internets: http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/just-according-to-keikaku
I think they're screwing with the kwijibo[0] too much and will end up with a professional user base that won't be large enough in number for accessory manufacturers to care.

I'm on to your lies, boyo.

The fact that the new iPhone doesn't use USB C and they are trying to push headphone manufacturers to make lightning headphones kind of goes against this _assumed plan_
