Most of the people who will be getting these are of a smaller nature, and they would not have hit those price points (which are actually almost reasonable and less than I paid for my 32GB one a few years back).

I would have liked to see TouchID on these, but again that probably costs them a few cents, and maybe it doesn't work so well with children whose fingertips are growing. And the headphone jack remains misplaced on the bottom instead of the top (no doubt to simplify assembly etc.), but that's what bluetooth is for.

Still, pretty impressive specs compared to previous model (though not quite up to iPhone specs), and given declining sales, we probably won't see another generation of these in the future.

I might have to get one.
