I don’t do Apple for a variety of reasons ... But with these new phones, we’ve hit the 60’s.
Back in the day when Apple announced their first computer, I walked into a store, and their sales staff's attitudes turned me off - forever.
Curious - what more do you expect your new "60s" phone to do that it doesn't do already?

Curious - what more do you expect your new “60s” phone to do that it doesn’t do already?
Same thing I expected cars to do that they didn’t start doing until the 90’s: Do what they do reliably.

As long as cell phones’ operating systems crash or freeze up, Or software gets confused they have not arrived. And even iPhones still do that. When I can say that I have never touched the screen of my cell phone only to have it not respond to my touch, that will be a breakthrough.

That, my FRiend, is impossible.Apple Computer Corporation had no company retail stores and no retail sales representatives when you claim to "turn you off" at the time you claim. Sorry. You walked in to some privately owned store that just happened to be selling Apple computers. . .and Apple cannot be held responsible for what happened to you. That is one of the reasons that Apple finally took the step to open their own stores. Apple introduced it's first computer 39 years ago today, and its first Mac 31 years ago in February of 1984, but Apple only opened its first company owned store in May of 2001.
