It's classic Apple to spend over a decade insisting that that glossy screens were the best option, and then to eventually roll out a matte screen as a "premium" feature with a bunch of marketing around it.

I wonder if they will (re)introduce premium keyboards with sculpted keys that self-center your fingers someday. magsafe coming back was nice, maybe more extra ports?

MagSafe + SD card reader + headphone jack + USB-C/TB4 only ports is fine by me. In 2025, I'm well past needing USB-C to USB-A dongles. We've had since what 2015/16 to start the conversion to C only.

My car from 2023 still came with USB-A port. No-so cheap USB camera that I recently bought came with USB-A port.

The camera came with a USB-A port, or simply provided a cable that had a USB-A end? I've never seen a camera with an A port

It was a cable with USB-A end. The cable cannot be detached from the camera.
