yeah I cant imagine how much lighter and thinner they could have made this if they dropped the glass and the outside screen

that'd be fine tho since itd have a purpose. feels like we're back to the 2016 macbook era where the form was deciding function and not the other way around — if the function of the device was that you'd be seeing through it then yeah go off with the glass but right now thats not the case.

And there's an entire sub dedicated to thinking every Apple decision is terrible, despite their absolute dominance in the tech field. I'd rather be "that guy" than to live in a fantasy reality, if we're being honest.

But no, you're right, Apple's totally fucked up here and it's going to *definitely* hurt them financially... just like the previous 50 "terrible decisions" that have only lead to their insane tech dominance.

Remember that headphone jack thing? That REALLY set them back... oh wait, the entire industry copied them and they've only grown since then? Reddit told me it was a mistake, though. This is that, all over again. We do this every time Apple releases anything, not sure if you realize it or are just part of the problem lol
