Get quick to scream , because it ’s another example of “ Yes , this guy gets pay for this and he believably gets make up a wad . ”
Writing for Barrons , Tiernan Ray tells the tale of the hedge investment firm director who thinksthe iPhone 5 “ feel like a toy dog ” and investor should debar Apple(tip o ’ the antlers toTay Bass ) .
Noted hedgie …
“ Hedgie ” ? Oh , Wall Street …
… Doug Kass of Seabreeze Partners , who has been pushing the contrast of thought that Apple ( AAPL ) has top out as a stage business in the viewing of the pass of founder Steve Jobs , today station a letter to the faithful espousing his personal impressions of the troupe ’s mis - steps with the iPhone 5 , after trying [ sic ] he “ played with ” the gadget for “ about a minute and receive quickly blase . ”
About a minute ! Well , that ’s about a minute longer than anyone ’s played with a working Microsoft Surface . So , Kass is practically an iPhone 5 expert !
Ray quotes Kass :
Say what you will about whether or not Steve Jobs would have lease iOS 6 go out in that condition with those maps …
in reality , do n’t .
… but go roleplay with the iPhone 5 yourself . It feels terrible . It ’s very light and to me feel like a toy . It needs a lead weight .
Too light . Heavy headphone are where it ’s at , bro . Have you check out the Samsung Neutron III SX ? It ’s got a big lump of osmium in it . It does n’t do anything , it just adds weight unit . The headphone weighs 47 pound . Android phones are whole winning the density war .
( you could say that again . )
Well , Doug , we will have to agree to differ , because to the Macalope ’s hoof , the iPhone 5 feels like the best built iPhone ever . And the tough build iPhone ever still feels better than the best - build earpiece by anyone else .
OK , you sleep together it was fare , but are you quick for it ?
I can not believe Steve Jobs would have countenance it go out the door like that . He would have understood that it just does n’t feel right . That was the economic value of Steve Jobs — he empathise the whole moving-picture show , technical and non - technical alike .
Steve Jobs would never have shipped a light phone !
Well , it ’s no “ Steve Jobs would fire Tim Cook , ” but it ’s something . There is simplynothingyou personally feel that you’re able to not assign to Steve Jobs !
“ I like pork rind and experience that Steve Jobs , were he here today , would correspond with me that porc rinds are delectable … despite being a vegan . ”
Can Apple keep the well - above - cell - industry - fair client upgrade hertz going ?
obviously .
With Steve Jobs go , Apple is at risk of losing that witching Walt Disney feeling .
Which is a marvelous model because , as everyone knows , Disney entirely lost its magical feeling after Walt died and finish up shutting down several years later on , the last .
For his part , Ray thinks the “ hedgie ” who should get a wedgie and other Apple criticsare full of hot melody :
The iPhone is an keen piece of industrial design that stomach alone . Kass must be the only soul on the planet who thinks a tenuous , lighter iPhone is a bad affair .
He ’s out of touching , sounds like a bit of a jerky , and he ladder a hedging fund . What are the betting odds ?
