Those who follow me closely, know that I’m extremely critical of the company yet it is undeniable that there is a method to their madness.

There was no magic to the small, closed door event where Tim Cook led the show and his partners in crime introduced the new iPhone SE and a smaller iPad Pro. Shattering that distortion field made us see what this was. A hollow bid to lure customers to yet another overpriced piece of hardware.  Continue reading “Hey Apple, Where’s the Magic?”
