Why is everyone on MacRumors losing their minds today and acting like screaming toddlers? There is NOTHING normal about 2020 - you have to expect that the release schedule of Apple is completely upside down, due to you know - the global pandemic..

Why bother? New OS with old iPhones is stupid. Its always a new iPhone to go with the new OS. Apple really screwed up this year.

Having to buy a new phone just to run the new OS sounds like Android hell.

I love having the latest and greatest when the beta 2 of iOS hits months in advance.
