“#I loved the iPhone 12 event so much I hate it<\/strong>”

\n This is adapted\u00a0from Plugged In, TNW\u2019s\u00a0bi-weekly news<\/a>letter on gear and gadgets.\u00a0<\/span>Subscribe to it (and our other great newsletters) here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

That\u2019s right, it\u2019s the\u00a0twelfth edition of Plugged In \u2014\u00a0<\/span>which is sort of relevant, because this week we\u2019re getting festive<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nah, fuck all that Father Christmas noise, this is about\u00a0<\/span>the iPhone 12 event<\/em><\/a>. That\u2019s right, we\u2019re going to spend all these words talking about a dumb phone launch. Grab yourself a cuppa and get strapp<\/a>ed in.<\/span><\/p>\n

I always thought some of my opinions were set in stone, that there were unwavering pillars of my personality. For example,\u00a0<\/span>I believe\u00a0<\/span>Gregg\u2019s<\/em>\u00a0 \u2014 the world\u2019s greatest bakery<\/a> \u2014 should be nationalized. I think that you can\u2019t be trusted if you love Muse. And I\u2019m convinced the world would be a better place without technology<\/a> companies holding huge events to launch what amounts to dull products.<\/span><\/p>\n

But \u2014 once every twelve months \u2014 the iPhone event rolls round shakes me to my very core.<\/span><\/p>\n

Up to 15 minutes before, I\u2019m the same grumbling and irritable person I always am.\u00a0\u201cI already know what Apple\u2019s gonna announce,\u201d I howl at my reflection, \u201cwhy has the lord cursed me by forcing me to sitting through another one of these fucking keynotes?!?!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Then, as soon as the countdown flips to 14m59s, a change comes. Something is different. There\u2019s a shift. I\u2019m\u2026 excited? Nervous? Enthusiastic?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Yes friends, I, a grown-ass adult, get gleeful about a global corporation with questionable morality<\/a> trying to sell me some shit I don\u2019t need. And you know what? In this isolated incidence, I\u2019m cool with it.\u00a0<\/span>
