News just in... Ahead of the announcement next week, a high volume of product has been shipped to Apple European distribution centres. They are being guarded more carefully than usual, so my source is unable to confirm exactly what’s in there.

Looks like we've finally reached peak iDiot tax.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment
