Shakes out to $100 a year for something I use every single day (and much more than my Mac, once you factor in all the bed, couch, porch/deck, out-and-about, etc. usage)...can't beat that!

I know I'm probably gonna lose on the small, compact thing (I think Apple is out of the one-hand-friendly iPhone business), but if the price/performance/reliablity aspect is there, I can make myself get used to the larger size and adjust my usage habits/holding as needed. I'm just happy that the prospect of a new ~$400 iPhone is on the horizon, because I ain't paying those flagship prices, period. I don't give a shit what kind of screen, camera, etc. they have. I don't need - or want - a $700+ phone.

But that's truly about all I'm interested in for 2020, and that might not even be blatantly WWDC-related. It might come next week, out of nowhere. Didn't the iPhone SE just hit one day, back in 2016, without much fanfare, keynote unveiling, etc.? If I remember correctly, it just showed up on Apple.com one morning?
Same, same, same, same, this is what I want.

Good news is, MacRumors has some cases surfacing as evidence saying it might be happening soon.
