Apple's New Smart Socks hide disturbing supply chain secrets

hncynic 1 minute ago

A couple of years ago, this was the new iPod touch: http://techcrunch.com/2012/09/14/amazon-ipod-touch-macbook-t...

I remember the first iPhone was "the next one". The first iPod was about the new Macbooks and they had the same screen.

I wonder if it's still true - when the iPhone comes out, and when Apple is trying new things with iPod touches, I assume it will be a combination of new hardware and new hardware - something that Apple can't do.

Not going to stop the sock from being stolen.

I think the whole 'smart' sock is a joke. It isn't just a Sock that doesn't work on a device. The whole point of this sock is that the sock is a complete mess. Not even the sock itself has a sock as it does on a page. The sock's not meant to be something you want to own unless you can make the sock open.
