Apple Rundown: The Scratched Jet Black Edition


Perhaps you are sitting patiently with a tracking number in hand waiting for the delivery of a shiny new product that has winged its way from China, designed by Cupertino of course, and will be the greatest thing you have ever owned ... until the next Apple keynote, in which you will start the buying process all over again like so many salmon swimming upstream. It is the "Circle of iLife" in perpetual motion. Or, you might be clicking in to see what links I've compiled for launch day based upon my previous posts under this banner. in either case, welcome to a few stories from around the net that deal with the subject of Apple.

My intent was to have a broader spectrum of products to peruse. it seems, however, that some portions of the Appleverse are not gaining love with the regular 10,000 word articles about how amazing and wonderful they are to own. Case in point, very little was made about the latest Apple TV update. And my current links list for Apple Watch Series 2 can be summed up with the following;

However, some out there think we might not see anything on that front until early next year to coincide with a future iPad event. But who cares about all that now. Look, new iPhones!
