This. It's sort of like the "The Apple Watch is a failure!" articles when the Apple Watch has outsold every other smartwatch combined.

Sometimes it kind of feels like the dinosaur press is really trying its damnedest to bring back the "beleaguered" days.

One of my favorite articles like this, from 2 years ago:

> This morning Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) announced a record-breaking weekend for sales of its new iPhone 5S and 5C. In the first 72 hours more than 9 million phones were sold in 11 countries around the world.

> To me though, all this over-the-top fanfare and even the record-breaking first weekend of sales could actually be cause for concern.

> Let's face it this new iPhone is just an upgrade, a refresh, dare I say a sequel.

Yes. that's exactly what it is. And it sells like crazy.
