people are craving in-depth reviews! and they must be on launch day! they can’t wait a few days before every publication and blogger gets their hands on one and then writes their review. apple has a responsibility to serious journalists, not just some bloggers youtubers, only they can get the clicks produce the thorough long form reviews that the public depends on to make their phone buying decisions.

that's when you need to carry around a daisy chain of cable converters because your computer has no ports on it. right now, at my work setup, i have a 4 way usb-usb splitter and an usb-dvi converter for external monitor, and the only free ports of value are thunderbolt 3 and headset jack.

ive gotten a second monitor now so i had our it order me a tb3 dual displayport adapter instead, since there's no way i can pull off two usb-dvi converters

If you're using it that often you have a serious problem with smartphone addiction. I use my phone no more than 45 minutes a day.
