Opinion: On Apple's Latest Presentation

I'm fully aware that a lot of people love to hate on Apple. I'm also fully aware that many people like Apple. That being said, I'd really like to take a moment to reflect on some of the more absurd moments from yesterday's Apple presentation.

1. The Apple Pencil

First off, notice how nobody commented on why it's not called the iPencil? Many people still say iWatch despite it officially being the Apple Watch – this seems to signal a new direction for the company. Something that basically says "Hey, we know we're not being innovative anymore. So instead of calling it "iSomething", let's just call it the Apple Something. Because we're Apple, we made something, and it's now inherently better than the other ones on the market."

Now, let me describe for you the Apple Pencil. It's "Completely Familiar" and "Entirely Revolutionary" (pulled directly from Apple's website). Also, "You may never have seen Apple Pencil before, but you already know how to use it." – Apple Website. Don't worry, it's only $99. If you're reading this article without hearing the news from yesterday, you might assume I'm exaggerating and that Apple would never do something that ridiculous. Uhm, *cough*.

2. The iPad Pro

iPod -> iPhone -> iPod version of iPhone -> huge iPod Touch -> Slightly less huge iPod Touch -> ridiculously large iPod Touch

iPod -> iPhone -> iPod Touch -> iPad -> iPad mini -> iPad Pro

Connections?

3. Apple TV

They call it tvOS? Really?

Ponder these things, iSheep. Ponder these things.
