  • "The Year We Stopped Caring About Gadgets" ["This year, Apple's winning streak ended. The company offered relatively minor updates of existing product lines, including a new generation of iPhone 7 that sacrificed a pre-existing feature — the phone lost its standard headphone jack — but offered no real benefit in return. The Apple Watch Series 2 has some impressive fitness-based upgrades, and yet sales of the smartwatch have plummeted compared to 2015, while fitness tracker sales continue to climb, suggesting that many customers are rejecting the idea of a pricey wrist computer in favor of simpler, cheaper wearables. The latest 10-inch iPad is an all-around fancier device, but lacks any jaw-dropping innovation. And the new Macbook Pro offers little to justify its stunning pricetag aside from The Touch Strip, a multi-touch glass that runs across the top of the keyboard."] Men's Journal Tech 10:19 AM
