FOR THE UNINFORMED: Mrs. Shields may kill me for how long this post to the blog is, but she can deal with it :P Alright... I just want to state that I love Apple to death and get that out of the way but I AM GOING TO RANT for a little. Apple introduced the new "iPad Air" to the world today, among other things. The starting price for a 16GB silver OR black iPad Air is $499, and if you want 8x the storage with the 128GB version, it'll set you back $799. To put that into perspective, if you were to buy a 2.3GHz Mac Mini that has a quad core Intel Core i7 (the fastest processor Intel makes, starting at the i3, i5, and then the i7), 4GB of DDR3 ram, and a 1TB hard drive, it'll set you back $799. So you can buy a pretty very good Mac computer (I have one at home but better haha) or a new iPad. Anyways.... The iPad Air weights only A pound (yes one pound), is only 7.5 millimeters thick (Apple advertises that by saying 7.5 millimeters THIN), has a 9.7...
I feel like people don't like it because who uses Instagram as their main shopping platform/site? Not only that but the shopping center replaced the most used functions on Instagram in terms of their placement in the Instagram layout. If the two switched places I'm sure they wouldn't have received such negative feedback.
ReplyDeletei think the overwhelming capitalistic society we are in right now is changing how simple things like apps mainly for sharing photos with friends and family function into a business site and honestly, while i don't mind it that much I can see why people are upset.
ReplyDeletetbh i hate this update
ReplyDeleteYeah this update is not it. I hate how their trying to mesh it with aspects from tik tok and shopping apps. Super dumb in my opinion.
