Yeah saw that yesterday. COURAGE MUTHERFUCKER. The tech press is all atwitter with grandpas whingeing about Apple as if the idea of Tim Cook smelling his own farts as he sells you two different colors of black for $1000 is something new. I'm impressed that a top-end iPhone now costs more than a low-end Macbook Air; that says something for damn sure. Meanwhile Sony's big announcement was "we're doing a mid-cycle update on the PS4 same as we did on the PS3 and we're leaving the price the same" and that, of course, is reason for pure scorn.
Something that just popped into my mind - they also announced that the new iPhone has "stereo speakers" in the sense that they amped up the speaker used for calls. So now you have two speakers with vastly different shapes and directions, IP67 rated, double the volume. Isn't it super likely that that combination is going to make any sound sound super weird and/or terrible?
