I forgot I have an original MacBook Air (ie the one Steve Jobs pulled out of a Manila envelope) in gorgeous condition with a brand-new battery, Front Row remote, and a fresh copy of OS X Snow Leopard coming in a few hours

And I FORGOT THE MANILA ENVELOPE

NEW VIDEO: The iPad Air 2 on iOS 8 has a laminated display, the fast A8X chip, more RAM, and thinner and lighter -- but it traded in features because it HAS to be thinner for no reason lol

I woke up today with two iPhones that I needed to find a soft-touch clear TPU case for, I thought about Taobao

And then I realized I literally bought like 30 cases of all shapes and sizes for the different iPhones I have

So I just grabbed them and they fit lmao
Product Red 8 Plus and Space Gray 8 next to said clear TPU cases The cases all in inventory lol, all in their plastic baggies

People only remember the iPad Air for the hardware redesign, but iOS 7 is arguably the more important of the two redesigns

For iOS 10, I originally only wanted the 7 Plus be Jet Black, the smaller 7 can be Matte Black for all I care

Welp I ended up with both sizes in Jet Black, they REALLY do not wear well

I was close to picking up an iPad Pro 10.5-inch on iOS 10

Then I realized there was never an official Smart Case covering the back made for the product - you have a Smart Cover or Keyboard, or a leather Sleeve, but no back cover

wtf
(thanks @DetroitBORG)
