I really like the privacy/security commitment of Apple too. I'm also super curious to see how they plan on achieving their commitment to sustainability. Supposedly, it may involve making it easier to repair/upgrade phones in the future so you don't have to keep buying new ones.

On the other hand, I kinda don't like that Apple is one of the major driving forces for the rising costs of smartphones (some of the iPhones cost more than my current laptop). I also dislike that you kind of get stuck with Apple if you want to keep all of your apps and stuff.

Also, can you split screen/multi task on iPhones yet? Split screen is super useful for things like watching Twitch streams where changing windows means you lose chat and have to reload the video.
