OT: Apple Sheep
joc13
firmly on the Atlanta United bandwagon!
The Apple shepherds are conducting another roundup of their sheep disguised as a new product launch. Local news just showed a line of 100+ people outside a store at a local mall.
Given how close we are to the beginning of the month, how likely is it that a whole bunch of November rent or mortgage payments are about to be spent on $1000 devices?
I sure hope the family I heard about that took $3600 from their kid's college fund to buy 4 $900 iPhone 8s back in the spring (thus delaying his college start until January) isn't about to pull another $4000 out now. With the way Apple manipulates their customer base, that kid's never going to college.

Apple is good, but not perfect, and almost every product they've release has some bugs that I find at least inconvenient. They generally fix those, but it's worth waiting.
It’s a crazy cycle - as folks spend money they don’t have - on products they don’t need - and then they buy more unneeded stuff with those new phones - and get deeper in debt!
