By Apple-logic, maybe time to cut that model, too? Maybe they should just pick the top seller in each category of iPhone, iPad, laptop, and desktop and reduce their product grid to 4, eh? #SillyLogicExperimentsByApple

They were just going for numbers (which they partly achieved), and had enough ‘free’ money to spend like a drunken sailor. But, I think those days are over. Now they will have to start turning a profit and doing realistic business. They blew a ton o…
