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.
