Or people just prefer different things? Not everything is about dumb left-wing or right-wing beefs with each other.
Some reasons on my end, I'm sure others have hundreds more that have nothing to do with politics.
We get power outages a couple of times a year including one where we didn't have power for 3-4 days, being able to cook was great.
Making Roti (Indian variant of Tortilla) directly on a flame is quicker and tastier.

1. I've switched from my old beater iphone SE and the battery life has been great. Lasts 1-3 days depending on usage.
2. Agreed, the lack of bezels while pretty aren't necessary and makes it difficult to use with a single hand (the primary selling point)
3. Linked to the bezels, they probably didn't have enough room due to extending the screen to the top.
4. Sadly, that's just any new iphones
5. Partially disagree, it's wonderful that you don't have to hunt around to make sure it's connected and charging. The downside is the charger itself lifts up with the phone. Again this is more of what Apple imagines the future to be for all its phones.

I really like it as an upgrade from an iPhone SE. The primary complaint is the extra size wasn't needed and takes away from the primary selling point of compactness that you mentioned.

You did watch the prequels right? There were thousands of Jedi. Skywalker was just one of them. The prequel was about the fall of Anakin, the original trilogy was about the redemption of Anakin. The sequel was about...? There wasn't a sequel trilogy needed to begin with. It was created specifically to milk the nostalgia and availability of Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford. Look at the trailers for The Force Awakens. Use the nostalgia hook to get people in, then destroy every aspect of what viewers liked about the characters without any ideas of what story you were even trying to tell. Of course it was a cluster fuck.

Einstein did not believe in god much less a deep belief. Where he's referred to the word God he's talking about the Universe

"It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it."

"The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish"
