>Apple is positioning itself to become a major player in the advertising space and - with a dwindling economy and an increased pressure to sustained growth from shareholders - that's going to continuously encroach on our privacy guarantees for monetization purposes.

Or they could sell us a rugged iPhone with a removable battery and SD card slot to extend storage but keep the proprietary OS to keep the music/movie ppl happy plus keep out malware not sent via FISA warrant, but if they did that Tim Cook might jump off the top of the donut apparently, so they keep going the way you describe.

I was being a bit sarcastic but I think longer, removable battery rather than thin + using a charging case could have an appeal.

(Same for an sd slot.)

Especially paired with a form factor like the 6s for those who don’t want a phablet.
