Obviously trying to get invites to next year's Apple WDDC
A phone that's 18 months behind where the best Android devices are, give me a break.
A large proportion of the iPhone premium price tag is obviously to fund press smoozing. It's such a shame iFanboys can't see what their product purchases are funding.
At minimum, El_Reg shouldn't have got a iFanboy to review the next iThing, as it could be a big shiny turd and sill be the best thing ever.
