Agree. And too much “leaked” images killed the element of surprise. Even apple pay is not new at all. I’m seeing CEO Tim Cook going down months from now.

I too agree…wala na yung excitement kasi all the leaks that showed parang walang dating. well ganun talaga kapag big company, leak dito leak doon. Eh kung cherry kaya or my phone may leak photos? hehehehe
