Apple used to get a lot of slack for removing things- USB-A, Headphones, CD Drive, Network Jack, etc... But in the end, many (but not all) of those things ended up being totally unnecessary - they were perhaps just a year or so ahead of their time.
That being said, making a turn signal a screen button? Unless AI can replace all of this soon, which I think is not the case (and not the case for the 4th year in a row). I think this is NOT a good decision like the ones Apple makes every few years.

- fubbernuckin 3y agoThis is less like getting rid of an obsolete standard and more like your mouse sensitivity now changes based on where it is on the screen (except in this example if you misclick you risk someone getting hurt or killed). It's just making an easy task you need to do harder for no reason in a context where making mistakes can have dire consequences. Also I still use USB A, headphone jacks, and network jacks regularly on my devices.
