He takes a while to address/spin Apple debacles. Maybe there'll be something on Monday.

I've found it more interesting that Gruber has been directly critical of Apple lately. When even Gruber says "If this hasn’t set off alarm bells within Apple, something is very wrong", then something is very very wrong: http://daringfireball.net/linked/2015/12/01/sketch-leaves-ma...

You have to read carefully to find critical opinions on his blog. Another one where he had to admit the sneaky choice of a 16 to 64gb storage (for obvious $$ reasons).

"But I don’t understand why the entry level storage tier remained at a meager 16 GB. That seems downright punitive given how big panoramic photos and slo-mo HD videos are, and it sticks out like a sore thumb when you look at the three storage tiers together: 32/64/128 looks natural; 16/64/128 looks like a mistake. The original iPhone, seven years and eight product generations ago, had an 8 GB storage tier. The entry-level iPhones 6 are 50 times faster than that original iPhone, but have only twice the storage capacity. That’s just wrong. This is the single-most disappointing aspect of the new phones."

The what now?

This monstrosity:

I see something in there about a "hunchback battery", but where's the "debacle"?

A lot of the comments seem to be mad about both/either of:

1) Apple putting out an aesthetically ugly product

2) The stupidity of not just keeping the phone 1mm thicker and thus having a higher mAh battery in the first place, necessitating this accessory
