I guess it's cultural, people in 'Murica are used to buying "subsidized" phones from carriers. It is ultimately far more expensive than paying upfront, but paying in installments makes it less obvious if you're not paying attention.
The story I heard was, carriers wanted to disable functions from Nokia's high-end phones to sell piecemeal. Say, cut wi-fi so people have no choice but use their expensive data plans. Nokia refused to play that game, so carriers refused to carry their good stuff.
Perhaps, as no one has mentioned them. Also, you realize that they still make POWER processors, right? They are high end stuff, competing with Xeon in the "big iron" market.
I would assume all of the nerve endings are in the glans and below and the foreskin merely covers this.
It's the other way around. The glans is rich in free nerve endings (rough detection of deep pressure, heat, and pain - much like poking your eyes), whereas the foreskin's ridged band and the frenulum are rich in encapsulated nerve endings (fine touch, light pressure, vibration, stretching - like your lips and fingertips).
In short: you thought it was the wrapper, but it is the candy.
Pointless procedures? Infant circumcision comes to mind. Medically worthless, known to reduce man's sexual capacity, occasionally very destructive or even fatal. Without any doubt, it is a heinous violation of one's essential human right to bodily integrity.
As this is a site of "news for nerds", most readers will probably assume the headline refers to computer maker Sinclair Research, which is completely unrelated to media company Sinclair Broadcast Group.
That is why nearly everyone you know carries a iPhone
Apply some geography to that statement. iOS is hugely popular in the USA and a few other countries, but globally, Android's market share is close to 90%.
I should have said it more clearly: it was the first phone that could run applications developed by a third-party and installed by the user, not something that came built-in.

Smart phones are just a fancier kind of Palm Pilot
Fun fact: smartphones came first.
IBM Simon Personal Communicator: 1994
US Robotics Palm Pilot 1000: 1996

Because of FaceID it is the first phone in a while that feels like a real jump from a previous model instead of incremental improvement.
That "real jump" is just a slightly fancier kind of facial recognition, which has been around for years.
There are tons of very good phones in the $200-300 range, mind you.
There are many cancerd-free distros. http://without-systemd.org/
Also, I haven't seen non-server computers use Power processors either.
There is the Talos II workstation.
Definitely not priced for mainstream consumers. But not too crazy when you look at Apple's prices!

Or we could adopt the IBM POWER architecture.
It's not like Chrome's interface is any good either. That's why I stick to Firefox, it can be set to a tolerable state.
The jew card, how quaint.

You must like the taste of dick cheese.
Fact: women produce more smegma than men do.
Penile cancer is unknown in circumcised men.
Fact: penile cancer is extremely rare, except among older men who are smokers or have HPV.
No male infant even remembers circumcision.
So rape with roofies is fine and dandy, then?

The first "should" of this mess is: batteries should be user-replaceable.
That's Apple nowadays: all form over function.
Man, I love that song.
No, "Star Trek" was a 1992 project by Apple and Novell to port System 7 to x86.
What do you call a three-humped camel?

There was The Animatrix, it was good.

Pretty pathetic, no? Even the first smartphone ever, the IBM Simon, had apps.
Well, okay, only one app was ever released and it cost a small fortune. But it was the first, in 1994.
I assume the "unreliable narrator" to whom you refer is Ephialtes, the hunchbacked shephard
No, the unreliable narrator would be Dilios, the only survivor of Leonidas' crew.
