Make us preferred on Google

Over the past 10 years, there has been no shortage of complaints about the iPhone.


Whether it's the long wait times, the size of the screen, or the lack of a headphone jack, with each new release comes a new problem.

Adweek points out that the haircut of the iPhone X owner at the end of the ad is meant to resemble the "notch" at the top of the new iPhone X screen, which has been a source of derision ever since the design was unveiled.

But for most, they couldn't get past the shade of it all:

But maybe it's not all bad:

And if Apple decides to retaliate, there are certainly things they could address:
