Whatever you think - make peace with the idea that any design decision Apple makes will ripple through the industry.
It happened with the headphone jack, the notch, the whole concept of how smartphones should look... It will shape VR and on-device AI as well.
Going back even further, they released the iMac in 1998 and everyone said the decision to release a computer without a floppy drive and with USB instead of all the old connections was terrible. Soon it became the norm and USB was everywhere.
(Unlike floppy drives, I miss headphone jacks, though.)

There’s a dongle for that…

Such a great point. Hopefully that means more companies shouting about privacy tech.
I wonder how long they can keep that up however. At some point by the law of averages they have to be too late to a market.
Historically they have a great track record of launching the right iteration of a product at the right time. Once it has enough traction & interest.
