To each their own but finally going from a 6s (and hoping for smaller phones) I got an XS and could never see myself wanting TouchID on a phone again. Face is way faster and not impacted by clammy hands and the bezel sure isn't missed.

I'm not fully satisfied by the hardware options at the moment, same touchbar sentiment but I don't think the rest is so dire stupid crap like not including extension cables, and inflation is also a thing FWIW.

I think a really good monitor or docking/egpu box would go a long way for the laptops lack of ports. Holding on to my 2013/2015 in meantime
