Re: Box, slab, or cylinder; expensive, premium, or ultra elite
This mentality spilled over into Android cellphones and killed their sales too

The likes of Haweui and the rest of the Chinese makers would very much like to disagree with you.
Phones are now approaching the same level of acceptance as say all your 'white goods' are. Everyone has them who wants them in most of the world.
The increases in sales of phones that we have seen in the past had to come to an end simply because of the very large number of people who wanted one and could afford it already had one.
Don't blame Ive for the notch. It is an engineering solution to a problem where the market wanted bezelless phones but the technology was not ready to allow it without some compromises.
As a non-dedicated follower of fashion, I'll carry on using my secondhand iPhone 7 thanks.
