Is this because it's a last minute design change of just the port, but they opted to also change out the USB controller on the pros?

Or is this their new "16gb vs 128gb" upsell strategy?

People will hate it, but it's a very logical explanation

Maybe I’m lost but why will people hate it?

Because people would probably rather believe it's some conspiracy by Apple to purposely nerf the cheaper iPhone.

Ah. Well if I’m not mistaken Lemmy is mostly Android / FOSS biased so I’m not surprised some people might have the “Apple bad” mindset. Honestly why do people care what products other people use? I read a comment the other day about an Android user despairing that some feature Google is implementing (don’t remember which) might make some Android users jump ship to Apple… Ok who cares? Why so much emotional investment in something so trivial? It sounds just as crazy when you flip it, “Oh no some of my Apple friends are switching to Android or PC” …. A phone is an everyday appliance. Do you care what brand your neighbor’s kitchen appliances are? That’s how you should feel about phones IMHO.

iphones are status symbols so they get to be ascribed w the same emotional irrationality that other status symbols get like cars and clothes.
