Correction: more tutti-fruitti, phoney-baloney, plastic banana, good time, rock-n-roll Apple PR. Anybody who develops their own chips has this kind of facility. Apple’s chips are amazing, so it is mind boggling why they continue these trite PR tricks. Let the products shine!

Bloomberg, the home of the tutti-fruitti, phoney-baloney, plastic banana, good time, rock-n-roll Apple PR leaks. Apple is either testing the water on consumer response to Chase or trying to influence Chase to make the deal.

Who hurt you?

I get that concern trolling is fun, but do you really think that Apple actually needs to take their site offline for things like this? If you do, I’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

Welcome to the tutti-fruitti, phoney-baloney, plastic banana, good time, rock-n-roll Apple PR hype. They do this every year to create astroturf excitement. It’s like they don’t believe in their own products and have to gin-up interest with these little games. Meanwhile, every other major retailer manages to update their site without taking it offline.

They get much of their information from Apple PR and report it as “leaks.” Some people have to play their little games.

Bingo! This is classic tutti fruitti, phoney baloney, plastic banana, good time rock n roll Apple PR hype. These decisions have been locked-in for months but Apple PR has to pretend that Apple is SO bleeding edge that they are LITERALLY making these decisions up to the moment they press “Play.” Apple learned their lesson with the original HomePod - you need to have a clear, iterative upgrade path.
