Don't mind me - I just try to review the stuff dispassionately for a living.

All I know is that while the addicts are still enslaved by the shiny, it's getting harder and harder to find Apple journos, many of whom used to be fans, who actually like Apple any more.

Wouldn't it be a huge surprise if there were good reasons for that?

They're a company. You expect to like them?

They used to be liked.

But it's always good when a company doesn't kill viable products just because it can.

Referring to their customers as "addicts" is dispassionate?

Okay, look - people queue for hours overnight in the cold to buy a phone which it turns out they can't register, and which has some issues when they try to use it as a phone.

In some cases the phone bricks itself on the spot.

Then the police have to be called in to some locations because there's serious danger of rioting.

Purely dispassionately - really, does anything about this seem sane to you?
