Apple Took Out a CES Ad To Troll Its Competitors Over Privacy (engadget.com)
An anonymous reader shared a report: Historically, Apple hasn't had an official presence at CES. It's not surprising given the company's success at hosting and hyping its own product launch events -- long before the iPod and iPhone brought Apple to the top of the technology mountain, Steve Jobs keynotes were can't miss events. The company is also very deliberate about its marketing campaigns; when I see Apple billboard ads, they focus on new product close-ups with minimal messaging. This is why the giant ad banner I saw when I arrived in Las Vegas yesterday for CES 2019 caught my eye. Positioned not far from the convention center where CES takes place, the sign is a cheeky riff on the old "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" slogan -- and with just a few words, it casts an Apple-shaped shadow over the convention.
Hurray for Internet crank phone!
We non-cranks like our phones too.

Sad to see jealous fanboys making fun of common sense feature sets and pricing that offer real value.
You cannot accept the fact my 6 year old Android cost me 10x less and has more storage and 5x battery capacity of a top of a line iPhone XS ripoff device without throwing little fanboy tantrums blurting out "normal people" this "crank" that... quite sad.
I can accept whatever about your phone. I like my phone better though. I get the features I want. You get to feel good about saving some money. No problem with either one of those.
