the innovation is that apple didn't include a useless tiny trackpad on their dumb fabric keyboard

so the $35/mo iPhone plan seems great as that's only $450/year or $900 every 2 years which is what you would spend anyway.

April 2004

quote:

"One of the things we say around Apple, and I paraphrase Bill Clinton from the 1992 presidential race, is 'It's about the music, stupid.'" Mr. Jobs says that there is a big difference between the way people listen to music and other activities like watching videos. Specifically, he said, you can listen to music in the background, while movies require that you actually watch them. "You can't watch a video and drive a car," he said. "We're focused on music."

"The reason we [won't] make a 7-inch tablet isn't because we don't want to hit that price point, it's because we think the screen is too small to express the software," Jobs said on Monday's quarterly earnings conference call. "As a software driven company we think about the software strategies first."

I am moderately excited, the fact that it uses hdmi 1.4 instead of the vastly superior 2.0a is kind of lame but netflix's 6.5mb 4k is pretty weak and nobody is streaming atmos yet anyway

I assume amazon will be releasing an app since there's an ios one and then I will only have to use my blu ray player for spinny disc consumption

e: I am 100% purchasing the New Apple TV

the best part might be that it doesn't matter what carrier you have. like my carrier doesn't have iPhone, now they basically do.

that was probably a spin on a much more less steve-like reason - suppliers, profitability, hitting the price point

this does suck but given Apple Music, Photos and the new iOS 9 app squishing stuff, you need far less space than you did in iOS 7

that's 200mb for the base install but you can stream levels and assets as you need them. plus this will obviously increase over time as it has on every device.

Apple allows you to download the rest of the game from your own servers. It's basically anroid circa 2007.
