Apple knows its mistake. It went in the wrong direction. People don't like big anymore. The iPhone was a huge success and continues to be, but it's already yesterday's news. It's big and heavy and unwieldy, a pain in the pocket to haul around all day. The iPad only made things worse.
And the technology is so dated! You might as well carry a clay tablet and rhino tusk, for all the cool an iPad brings you.
Fortunately, Apple's engineer corps understands the problem. This is no time for small steps or halfway measures. Only a game-changing, earth-shaking, revolution will do, and they have just the product.
Introducing the iBall. The high speed, 5G, interactive contact lens! Your connection to the web perfected. No cords, no wires, no case, no thumbs. Also no Flash because Steve's got a stiffie for Adobe, but that's all right. The iBall is everything you need in a one-gram, thin-film, ocular interface product. Apple's most elegant solution yet.
I expect it to be a monster success. But what the devouring world won't realize is that the iBall is only an interim product. Hard on its heels will come Apple's greatest triumph. Soon we won't need any sticky, unreliable human tissue at all!
Mr. and Ms. Galaxy, meet the iSocket. Your direct neural connection to all of human knowledge, global social media, and videos of that adorable Shih Tzu pup riding a tricycle.
Throw away your glasses, toss your contact lenses, say goodbye to scary milliseconds of total blackness, completely cut off from the world, during wasteful blinking. Forget about "online" and "offline" and "searching the web."
Be the web with iSocket. Only from Apple and AT&T. No Flash.
And the iSocket is only the beginning. With Apple's new "Bits to Brains" technology anything is possible.
