The Game Link Cable is back!
Really happy seeing fans creating their own solutions to preserve legacy Pokémon transfers as Bank will shut down next year.
11 years ago today, Apple over-engineered the iPhone 6s so thoroughly that millions of users simply refused to upgrade for the next six years.
Panicked by the iPhone 6 "Bendgate" backlash, Apple didn’t just iterate in 2015. They accidentally over-engineered an immortal tank:
• 7000-series aerospace alloy that flat-out refused to bend
• MacBook-grade NVMe storage that smoked speed benchmarks for years
• 3D Touch & the Taptic Engine, embedding 96 capacitive sensors under glass to give flat software actual physical depth
• The A9 chip, which held on through 7 full generations of iOS (iOS 9 through iOS 15)
Apple sold 13 million units in the opening weekend, and then customers simply refused to upgrade for half a decade.
Do you remember the kind of hype Rose Gold color created back then?
