Hi.Jack

But why no Apple event? I mean, Macs and the new chips are pretty much the Apple buzz of late…

New Apple products are always nice, but what a boring show this was  😵‍💫

I really despise these marketing people at Apple. No specs on storage or CPU options, but full of BS like

speeds “UP TO” 
prices “FROM”
and the ultimate intelligence buster... $x99

As the sides and buttons are normally covered by a case, now what?

I watched Ashton Kuschner”s version of the Steve Jobs movie last night. The corporate culture is killing Apple yet again. In 1984/5 the Mackingtosh was sold at $2500 (~6000 in today”s money).
When blame was assigned for the low sales volumes of the Mac, Jobs blamed the overpricing of what was supposed to be a $1000 machine for the mass market.

FF to 2018 with iPXs and XR, and the moneyspinner iP is suffering exactly the same. Only this time round, there is no sexy comeback.

Trump’s policy and my shared view is exactly the same. You sell locally at inflated prices and employ but empowered burger flippers. The cheaper manufacturing only expunge greater profits, not lower prices.

And on and on ....

I bought 15+ devices amongst my family in the last 3 years. I don”t own the stock. But Apple has run it’s course in my wallet, because my cc sings every few days with no value added subscriptions.

Android is on the next list, simp,y because Apple”s business practises has become too obvious.
