News & Opinions: Bothering Steve Jobs Again, Knocking At Heaven's Door!

Earlier on, on our English Playground Facebook page, I just couldn't stand but to write a message

What??? Steve Jobs was working on everything from iPhone 4S to the 4-inch screen iPhone 5?
How about iPhone 6, 7 and 8?
Will we still hear that he was working on the designs of these?One moment rumour has it that "Apple's reconsideration of the iPhone's size wasn't a post-Jobs epiphany and that the company's longtime leader had himself seen the value in enlarging the handset to better compete in an evolving smartphone market."
But anyone remembered "how harshly the late Apple co-founder criticized larger smartphones in 2010, when he declared that "no one's going to buy" such devices"?
Apple, you make me think that you can't sell a thing if you don't bother Steve Jobs in heaven!!!

I mean, this is so true! It is ridiculous and even unethical to use Steve Jobs' name to keep promoting the iProducts, continually knocking on heaven's door hoping that Steve Jobs will bless the company with more earnings!

iPhone 4S was already dubbed as "iPhone 4 Steve", and before that I have already mentioned in the article dated 20th October 2011, titled News & Opinions: iPhone 4 Steve? Siri-ously? What about iPhone 5teve? I said,


One "iPhone 4 Steve" has triggered the best iPhone buying spree ever, what would their selling line be when they sell iPhone 5? iPhone 5teve? I'll surely take all the credit if they really do this, but my point is, they can basically do this forever! iPhone 5teve, iPhone 5S (iPhone 5teve JobS), etc.

I can't believe they are really going to use this method again!!!

They have fooled people once with the iPhone 4 Steve, now they want to fool people again!

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me! -- Idiom




I will not be fooled! I'm not an Apple fan and I think the iProducts are way too expensive for users, but I do have great respect for Steve Jobs, knowing that the company keeps using his name as promotion strategy really pisses me off!!
