I still hate the Red Sox. But this is wicked awesome.

This doesn’t surprise me at all. What does surprise me is that no other consumer electronic company puts the care into packaging that Apple does.
By making each and every product a joy to open, Apple sets the tone for the product itself subconsciously in the user’s mind.
Compare this to the companies that put their products in the clear plastic anti-theft packaging. Not only do they take forever to open with a combination of scissors and ripping, I nearly slice at least one finger open every time. When I finally get the product out, part of me just wants to smash it against a wall — I’m that angry by the opening experience.

“Freedom from distraction may in fact be the new, sought after bourgeois luxury. In… “The Joy of Quiet,” Pico Iyer says that the future of travel lies in “black hole resorts” where you pay exorbitant amounts for remote beautiful rooms that are offline. The principle is that freedom from the Internet is so rare and exotic and impossible that it is becoming a commodity: It’s not iPhones or iPads we have to worry about buying, but peace from them. Freedom, then, is a poor man’s fabulous hotel room on a cliff on a beach without wireless.”

Huge failure, as predicted, obviously.
Writes Apple SVP Phil Schiller:
iPhone 4S is off to a great start with more than four million sold in its first weekend—the most ever for a phone and more than double the iPhone 4 launch during its first three days.
That’s any phone. Ever.
