Apple. please stay in California, New Yorkers just defeated Amazon from taking over Queens and destroying that borough. Hudson Yards is one of the biggest examples of corporate handouts in history. Public (as in taxpayer owned property) land was gifted to developers  by our corrupt Mayor with little benefit to New Yorkers and a boom for the 1%. We now have a 1980's version of Dallas sitting on the westside filled with luxury shopping mall stores which nobody shops at or asked for. When huge companies like Apple move here they worsen the housing shortage, raise rents for apartment dwellers and small to medium size businesses. Facebook and Google have invaded my neighborhood and now a tidal wave of tech companies want to follow. We are fighting the cities efforts to rezone our avenues to keep glass towers at bay and preserve our history and culture. Apple stay in sunny California in some nice vacuumed sealed minimalist glass box and leave our grimly, lively, diverse city alone. 

Oh, please. Nothing like a little economic improvement to stir up those who would prefer that our cities remain slums. Wouldn't want those high-paying jobs and revitalized neighborhoods now. Simple fact is if you can't afford to live there, move.

"pro" seems ridiculous in a phone context. You dont have to be a professional to use a phone....

Nor do you have to be a professional (define?) to use an iPad. Or a MacBook. In Apple parlance, pro means higher-end.
