There really is no good reason to
remove it other than to become more "Android-like" and to save $0.05
per phone.

Hi badgolferman,
Apple _never_ has your best interest in mind when Apple decontents iPhones. >>

like" in any way, per se.
*It's part of Apple's core strategy to inexorably decontent the iPhone.* >>
Each time Apple decontents the iPhone, they come up with a ridiculously
easy to refute _different_ excuse (green, water proof, quality, etc.),
but what _never changes_ is Apple's core strategy is to decontent.
*Apple's core strategy is to inexorably decontent the iPhone*
Apple does care to remove functionality, one by one, bit by bit, year by
year, inexorably removing (or not providing) functionality so that you're
forced to "get it back" somehow - which - *SURPRISE!* - Apple MARKETING
always has a ready-made solution.
*Apple doesn't add functionality - Apple _removes_ functionality*
An example of Apple's core strategy of decontenting the iPHone so that
you're forced to scramble to get it back is the removal of the industry
standard headphone jack (where Appel provides... *SURPRISE!* - a ready-made >> solution that costs tons more than anything would that used the jack).
Apple _never_ has your best interest in mind when Apple decontents iPhones. >>
Take the lack of the sd slot, where *SURPRISE!*, Apple marketing has a
ready-made solution for you (which is the iCloud that you will pay for).
As another example of Apple decontenting the iPhone and then providing a
ready-made solution is the loss of the correct charger in the box, where,
as always *SURPRISE!* - Apple has a ready-made solution which is always
more expensive than if they just put the correct charger in the box.
Take another case of the shockingly decrepit batteries Apple cheaps out on >> in _all_ the iPhones, all of which have laughably miniscule capacity,
which, *SURPRISE!* Apple will be happy to sell you a very expensive
replacement and *SURPRISE!* if you don't get it from them - Apple will be
happy to permanently display a message on your phone that you're too cheap >> to pay ten times what the battery should cost - not to have that message
displayed on your phone (where in all cases you used an Apple battery).
We could go on and on and on about Apple's core strategy of decontenting
the iPhone and then *SURPRISE!* Apple providing a ready-made always ten
times more expensive 'solution' to the problem Apple caused (on purpose).
In summary, if it's true what you say, it fits into Apple's core strategy.
What Apple does when de-contenting the iPhone is they always provide a marketing-scripted alternative to corral you into using what they control.

They sell what they think you will buy.

Since Apple makes a big deal of emojis and yellow phones it's more
that Apple advertises only what they think many dumb & dumber people
will buy.
Yes...
...it makes you feel so smart to pretend others are dumb doesn't it?
Say, what's your car colour?
Did you just pick it at random?
Are all your clothes gray?
:-)

Continuing to show the enormous void in your understanding of marketing
and Apple's very diverse client base.

Your opinion of Apple's "very diverse" client base is suspect because you don't seem to be aware most of Apple's customer base is in only 1 country.
That "enormous void" in your knowledge level is also apparent in that you haven't read any of the news about what Apple has been advertising lately.
Respond only after you pick up a news report on Apple's recent ads which
show better than anything iPhone customers care mainly about color & emoji.

false.
And because of that enormous base in 1 country alone they have to (and
do) appeal to a very broad range of customers with very, very diverse
needs and wants.
Then, worldwide, esp. in Europe and Asia, they have very good
penetration of markets with a very wide range of needs and wants. And
Apple know this to a fine level of detail.

haven't read any of the news about what Apple has been advertising lately.
ROFL: You're the one trying to boil it down to single items because
you're too blind and deaf to see how these things actually work.
Respond only after you pick up a news report on Apple's recent ads which

Again: the "yellow" campaign does not serve to sell yellow phones.
There are those who will desire that, but it brings a "mid cycle"
attention to the product itself (and other Apple products).
But, do focus on your losing battle to make it a narrow couple issues
because you have no understanding about a company that makes 1 M phones
every 1.5 days for their vast worldwide market of people with a wide
range of needs and wants.

false.
I suggest you open up a newspaper or a magazine or read a news report that compares the "diversity" of the Apple customer versus Microsoft & Android.

you snipped the link that proves you wrong, plus you're trying (and
failing) to move the goalposts yet again.
