I think I am starting to get worried about the future of Apple.

2016 was a bad year. New iPhone has been the worst selling one in relative numbers since the iPhone. New MacBooks has several issues and controversial choices, while not bringing anything substantial to the table. New Watch changes are so small, nobody noticed an update.

The volume button placement opposite of the power button...

I've ranted about this to friends but they didn't get it. Glad to know I'm not alone on this!

Also the audio jack on the bottom: can no longer use headphones and prop the phone up on a desk when using FaceTime (which is surely a common use-case)

See, I'm the opposite. I always wanted the headphone jack on the bottom because that's where it needs to be for the phone to go properly in my pocket.

If screen rotation were free, surely you could both have what you want?

Problem is that the camera is on top so if you rotate the phone and stand the phone on a surface, the camera is pointing in the wrong place.
