What I Learned at Apple Store Today

By Scott

To be quite frank, not a lot.  But before I go any further, I have learned that the representative that I spoke with today is fairly new with not much experience.  So there is that.

So I learned that the keyboards on the 13 inch and 15 inch are exactly the same size.  SMALL.

I learned that the “standard” keyboard for an iMac desktop computer is even smaller and might be about the size of a big smartphone.

I learned that if you want your computer (Apple) to fold in half so you can carry it to Starbucks, you will pay a premium.

I learned that Apple computers (Macs) have a planned obsolescence of 5 years but tend to survive much longer than that.

I learned they apparently skip a year.  There are 2015 models and 2017 models.  I guess they took 2016 off.

I learned that it is HOT inside the store.  And yes, I am going there, they don’t have Windows.  It truly was uncomfortably warm in the store.  And you could tell.  It kinda smelled.

But one of the most important things I learned was that Apple sells a “Smart Toothbrush”.  Yep!  How dumb do you have to be to need a “Smart Toothbrush”?  $100.00 worth of USB connected toothbrush.
