Fool me once, shame on you

Fool me once, shame on you

Yesterday Apple announced the new iPhone 4S. Until its reveal, the tech-y media was convinced that it was going to see a wholly new device to be called iPhone 5.

This month’s Macworld magazine (out today) even has a competition on its cover to win what we now know is a non-existent iPhone 5.

In itself this is not a big deal. But what is odd is that initial press reports from the launch, instead of being concerned or even apologetic about what has proven to be incorrect speculation, blame Apple for not launching the product the very same press was expecting.

Tail wagging dog is one thing but tail then attacking dog for not wagging the way the tail expected? Barking…
