Is anyone else bothered by the photo of their latest offerings being shown on pre-Series 4 Apple Watches?

I feel sorry for Kim and the kids. It's a shame. SMH

As any married person knows, it's because of Kim and the kids, that's why he's acting crazier than usual.

I have a hard time believing that the majority of iPhone owners that paid $650-$850 for their phones will pay $1,000 to $1,450 for the current gen premium phones. I’d imagine Apple will hit saturation of those that will sometime soon. Wish they had released a smaller phone in this cycle. 

The author is not claiming that the majority of iPhone owners will upgrade every cycle, but that Apple's customers are loyal and will repeat an Apple purchase, even if the upgrade cycle is longer. There's also the iPhone Xr for those on a budget.  I don't see why this is a problem; those who can afford the nice fancy new hardware, more power to them.

There was a video floating about that showed that these portable FlashPay (wireless) payment terminals could be tapped against a person's wallet without them knowing and the amount would be debited from their account. And this is where Apple Pay is simply superior; it wouldn't work unless you trigger the phone/watch to payment mode.

"The world must move to sustainable energy and it must do so now."

And people complained about Apple being a cult!

They should have communicated their message better, but I don't get why that would be the bit you would latch onto in describing Tesla as a cult. Global warming is real, and so the world must change.

Both statements can be true at the same time. Tesla is a cult, and so is global warming.
