Oh how nice.  We can post comments here but the one yesterday on the locked phone for the Texas shooter was closed because it was too political.  Porn is more appropriate than politics I guess. 

I've wanted an iPad for years but was holding off for the right time.  That time was a few weeks ago when I got a brand new iPad Pro 9.7 inch 128GB for $529 at B&H.  Sure, a 10.5 would be nice, but there's no 128GB option there and 64GB is not enough.  I think Apple has their produce mix wrong.  My only options was the 10.5 with 256GB at $799!! or the one I got.  Saving $270 is significant and in some ways the 9.7 inch is nicer.  It is a bit smaller, and a bit lighter.  From what I've read the difference between the two did not justify the price jump. 

I purchased an iPhone 7 a month ago for the same product mix reason.  A iPhone 7 with 128GB is now $649 and the iPhone 8 has no 128GB so 256GB costs $799!! Seems to be a popular price point for Apple but saving $150 was enough to tip the scale there too.  Overall I have two new snappy Apple products and saved $420.  I am tickled pink! 

Bullshit.  The mini is not the high margin, high volume thing that Apple needs to be successful.  Actions speak louder than words.  No updates since when?  Tim threw a verbal bone and everyone is eating it up. 

FUD

It is my belief that we'll all get more out of this conversation if we focus on what is really important.  A caption this contest.   I'll start:


Trump:  We've got to stop making phones in Chin-ah.

Thiel:  God, that man is my role model.

Cook:  What the F is wrong with this man?

Catz:  I admire that stud so much, I hope he gives me a job!
