And yet despite your criticism they are selling more devices than during Steve Jobs by a large margin. My iphoneX is by far the most usable and comfortable form factor of a smart phone I’ve used in the past decade. I’m just glad Apple has far better ways to decide on their device strategy than internet hot takes to so reliably and predictably miss the boat.

Are you sure Apple is selling more devices because of the new direction OR the mobile market is just larger than it was 7 years ago.
What new direction ?
Apple is following the same path they have done since the original iPhone. They have always had models at different price points.
The new direction they are referring to is clearly the phone size increase.
Which started under Steve Jobs (the 5 was the first bigger screen).
Crucially, though, it had a bigger height but not width.
