Nobody gives a fuck what the next iPhone is going to look like. Apple events are no longer these mystical ripples in spacetime because 1) Steve Jobs is dead and 2) Apple is not cool anymore 3) everyone knows the next iPhone will be a rounded rectangle with a screen on one side. 
Apple thinks that they will reclaim their cool by controlling leaks but nobody is going to get excited about Tim Cook pulling the next iPhone out of his pocket. Apple&amp;#x27;s engineering is still great, but they are no longer an entertainment event.</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>alasdair_</author><text>&amp;gt;It completely boggles my mind that anyone ever cared what the next iPhone will be like.&lt;p&gt;I mean, people had freaking launch parties for Windows 95.&lt;p&gt;Now I&amp;#x27;m actively trying to work out ways not to install windows 11.</text></comment>
