Yup. They're going beyond the realm of their own previous products into such severe minimalism it's becoming inconvenient. I want an LED to tell me my charge/power status, message status, etc., thank you. I want a physical home button. I want a physical headphone socket. If you want me to buy a £1000 tablet, then I want multiple ports, USB and Lightning or whatever. I want to connect a keyboard and headphones and charge it all at once, thanks. Since I can't have that, I bought a cheapo Chinese tablet instead, for less than the cost of a second-hand iPad of similar spec. It does the job. It is very pleasant that I have come to a point in my life where I can afford nice toys like a (second-hand) Retina iMac and what was still a high-end iPhone when I got it (also 2nd hand). However, so many features are disappearing from the newer models that I am not sure they're going to keep me for long... -- Liam Proven - Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk - Google Mail/Hangouts/Plus: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/Facebook/Flickr: lproven - Skype/LinkedIn: liamproven UK: +44 7939-087884 - ČR (+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal): +420 702 829 053
