    Maybe the people walking into the glass also like cable TV...

    Maybe someone at Apple will come up with an iPhone or Watch app to warn the user they are about to walk into a glass door. lol

    Window-gate? Glass-gate?

    Actually, I hate adding “gate” to every crisis — Watergate was not two separate words...obviously...so it should have been called Watergate-gate.

    Don't fall for it. “people familiar with the incidents” is just too easy. Not saying the building doesn't have issue. Any building will have ones, even Frank Lloyd Wright's. But there is narrative to sell and that narrative is Apple is failing. 
    Exactly. We'll be seeing reports soon where one person has complained about the quality of the toilet paper in the new building. APPL will fall by $10 on the news.

    Mountains out of molehills perhaps?

    APPL will fall and makers of thick toilet paper with 1% margins and zero differentiation and moat will get a PE of 20, that's the world we live in.

    Apple reminds everyone to stay FOCUS while working for them.

    Seems to be the new Apple: form over function 😉
    There's nothing new about that.  Apple's been placing form over function for years.

    You joke, but bad toilet paper can ruin someone's daily life.

    Nah, people have claimed that since Apple. Just part of a pushed narrative. Is it yours as well?

    When do you believe this "form over function" at Apple started?

    Maybe people should just watch where they're going...
    Ah, there's the snag.  Watch all you like but very clear glass at the right light levels and you don't see it at all. 
    I bet they know it there now LOL. 
    No, you don't, especially if it's a door (especially a sliding glass door) whose threshold you've walked across countless times. Just like the vibration absorbing silicone base of the HomePod that affects certain surfaces, this issue is solvable (*gasp* an Apple fanatic just lost their shit again). 
    Oh look, you’re still pretending the acoustic dampening silicon on the HP is a problem, as if people with living finishes don’t know how to treat and maintain them. 

    Show us a picture of how this actually caused a problem for you.

    Still not paying attention, I see. I understand that reading comprehension can be difficult with multiple in-line conversations, but at some point you need to take a little personal responsibility for your inattention.

    So Apple focused on the appearance of something at the expense of functionality? No way!
    So critics focused on anonymous rumors as if they were factual news? No way!

    enjoy the Echo. Don’t go Sonos tho, because...well, you know.

    Oh no, didn’t you hear? The iPhone X is a “usability nightmare” and the iPhone 7 with its front facing Touch ID home button was the pinnacle of user friendliness (and apparently the iPhone 8 doesn’t exist in this narrative), so maybe all that whining about bezels was yesterday’s talking point.

    Perhaps this is a good use for some of those Apple logo stickers that come with every purchase...
    @AppleZulu please explain. I didn't get an Apple logo sticker with my last purchases of iPhones or Apple Watch -- which were at an Apple Store.

    I must be hitting the jackpot, then. I’m looking at the one included with my HomePod right now. They mean for you to put ‘em on your back car window. Surely you’ve seen them around.

    It's strange for a company famous for its secrecy to suffer from perfect transparency.
    This person just won the forum today! I actually laughed out loud at this!

    Lawyers no doubt already looking for Apple employees with bloody noses to start a glass action!
    They couldn't smash that pesky glass ceiling. At least, they can attack all those glass walls.
