   Linus' Tech Tips points out how weak the new iPhone is.

   To be frank with you, I actually didn't like it when they switched to FaceID. I like the home button and the fingerprint unlock on my iPhone 7 Plus, and that phone was fucking expensive enough already. I was only willing to pay that much because I wanted an iPhone with 4K video recording.

   Also, I agree about the lack of expandable storage on the iPhone.

      Another thing I don't like is the new MacBook Pro models with the Touch Bar and the horrible keyboard.

      Typing on that keyboard physically hurts my fingertips. Also, I dislike the lack of ports. Not much of a pro machine anymore.

      There are some excellent laptops now, like the Dell XPS, that can replace the MacBook Pro. Unfortunately, I occasionally do iPhone development, so I need to use a MacBook Pro.

         If my current MacBook Pro breaks, I don't know what to do. Even if I find a new old stock replacement, at some point, macOS will stop supporting the 2015 Retina models.
