The Macalope Daily: A bad ride
Welcome back, friends, to the show that never ends! Yes, it’s time to take yet another ride on “sources familiar with the situation,” the crappiest roller coaster in all of Appleworld.
To get you up to speed, the lovely and talented Dan Moren has a piece about the strange tale of Apple supposedly cutting its iPhone 5 screen orders in “half” for this quarter, as The Wall Street Journal and Nikkei have claimed they heard—possibly from some dudes hanging out in front of the Shack.
The Boy Genius Report notes that the Journal had originally said the cuts were from an order of 65 million screens, but then removed the reference. Possibly because it sounded so laughable. And wrong. And dumb. And are people on the Journal copy desk drinking at work again?
If Apple ordered 65 million screens for a non-holiday quarter—when its best iPhone sales on record were 37 million—then someone is getting a quiet, drawly, and slow chewing out by Tim Cook, as Bob Mansfield inexplicably and angrily strangles a kitten just over Cook’s shoulder while staring wrathfully into the person’s eyes.
