PALO
ALTO - For many Apple consumers, the long delay between product
releases from the Cupertino, California hardware giant is proving
harmful to their emotional well-being.
John
Roswell, 28, of San Francisco lamented: “I haven’t been able to lord my
technological superiority over my friends for more than six months now,
since I bought an Ipad Mini last fall. I just can’t wait any longer for
the new Apple TV, the iWatch, the iRadio, the next iPhone. Anything.
What the hell is Apple doing? I keep going to the Apple store, but the ‘geniuses’ there don’t know anything. What the f-!”
March 2013 was the first March in many years that did not bring a major Apple product announcement.
Sandy
Vu, 23 of New York complained: “Some of my Google Android friends are
starting to get a little uppity, saying their Samsung Galaxy 5 is better
than my iPhone, just because it has a bigger screen. Or even that
Google’s Ice Cream Sandwich is a more user-friendly operating system
than Apple’s iOS! But was Android designed by Steve Jobs, a universally
loved and recognized super genius? I
think not. I think people are a little cheap to not buy the best
technology that money can buy. Samsung is just crappy Chinese
technology.” (Editor’s note: Samsung is a South Korean company, not
Chinese. And it’s not crappy.)
Martha
Lanyard, 45, of Boston confessed: “I have to admit I’ve been very
depressed about the lack of a new Apple product. It’s been ages. Life
seems sort of meaningless to me now. My doctor has upped all my meds,
but nothing has helped. My iPhone 4S is getting discolored from use. I’m
trying to hold out on replacing it until the next major upgrade, but I
don’t know how much longer I can wait!”
“For
God’s sake, Apple! Spend some of that $140 billion you have in the bank
and make something! We’re dying here. We’ll all on the brink. What I’m
really waiting for them to make is a better, Apple version of myself,
probably as a robot. I’d call it the iMe.”
