Apple’s earliest collaboration with Disney and more on EveryAppleAds

Ok, so maybe not a full-blown collaboration, but Apple definitely used The Seven Dwarfs’ “Hi-Ho” song in this very bleak and depressing “Lemmings” commercial. That’s just ONE of the gems you’ll find on EveryAppleAds YouTube channel , a playlist lovingly curated by long-time Apple fan EveryAppleAds who claims to have tracked down every Apple... Read More

Finally, something that will convince my mom she needs an iPhone

For years now, I have been trying in vain to convince my mom to get an iPhone. No matter how much I go on about how it will improve her life, or how many times a situation will come up and I’ll tell her “You know, if you had had an iPhone with you you could have simply done blah bla blah”, she appears to have convinced herself that she would never have a reason... Read More

“So, congrats me about getting the Apple 5″

OK, maybe those Samsung GS3 fanboys really DO have a point.  Read More

Apple’s answer to those GS3 fanboys

I know there isn’t a huge physical difference in screen size between the iPhone 4S and 5 (half an inch), but after only a day with the iPhone 5, I now find the screen of the 4S feels tiny. So in a way I can appreciate the stance of all those Samsung GS3 fanboys, as when they hold an iPhone it probably feels like their hand grew 3 sizes that day.

DEALS! Apple iPhone 4S – 16GB – Only 99¢! “Some minor Damage”

There are so many things to love about this eBay listing for what appears to be a microwaved iPhone 4S. First, when listing they used the full default eBay iPhone template, which gives a complete rundown of the phone’s features, including “HD video recording, Facetime, iCloud, Retina display, clearly remarkable” Product Information The Apple iPhone 4S is rich... Read More

Looks like Apple didn’t have to release an iPhone 5 at all

Maybe if Apple had spent less time mapping people’s ears for their new Earpods and more time doing marketing research, they would have realized they really didn’t need to update the iPhone 4S at all, they just needed to rename it. via Jimmy Kimmel Live  Read More

S#!T Apple Fanatics Say

Meh. I’ve only said maybe 70-85 of these, tops. Pt1 PT2 Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Chucky for the tip!  Read More

iPhone 5 promo video – It’s funny because it’s true

This apparently came out last week and 6 million people have already seen it, but I was on vacation, so screw you.  Read More

In case you’re wondering what’s on my iPod right now, it’s Tim Cook

Just kidding, I don’t own an iPod. But doesn’t it sound weird to say “What’s on your iPhone?” I think so. So I am going to stick with the phrase “What’s on your iPod?” and hope no one is a dick and tries to correct me. By the way, if you like Tim Cook’s debut single (from the folks behind iTunedSteveJobs), and how can you not?... Read More
