“WOULD JOHN LENNON & STEVE JOBS HAVE LIKED HAVING AN “IPHONE 9?”

Written by Tim McHale, Chief Media Officer of Madison Avenue Social. #WeEvokeEmotion

Forgive me friends, but this question came up from a post I did on LinkedIn’s Pulse over the weekend, listed here for quick reference, https://goo.gl/G3bpvL.

However, the larger issue is that … “Tangentially, we also witnessed the introduction last week of the iPhoneX, which skipped numbers 8 and even John Lennon’s favorite # 9.”

It got me and a friend thinking.

Wonder what Jobs would have thought about that, since he was the ultimate Lennon fan, even more so that Jann Wenner, if that’s possible.

Like, when he replicated Lennon’s record company name to be his own, & then “borrowed” the Beatles, “White Album” record cover style (which is a package) to package all of “Apple’s” products and finally, tried to look like him, when he picked the exact same style of glasses (like many of us did at some point) that Lennon wore as well.

For better or worse, unless John Lennon or Steve Jobs somehow intervenes from up above (or wherever they are, if anywhere) and/or unless some of us stoke popular sentiment to arrise from this indignity – so much so – like when the world brought back “Classic Coke,” there will never be an “iPhone 9.”

Tsk, tsk…

What’s the popular sentiment out there on this issue?

As detailed in the selected image, someone is banking on the demand for selling the www.iPhone9.com  domain on Godaddy to the “tune” of almost $12 large and whoever has www.iphoneIX.com  ain’t interested in selling it at all.

If you forget how important #9 was, here’s a short clip from the Beatles White Album Number 9 Backmasking – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEhxaKuh4_M

Am I wasting both your time and mine on this one? Pray tell…

October 9th is coming up soon… Should we Fab Four / iPhone fans plan to co-author an open letter to Tim Cook that day?

All that said, there was this “leak” from this past May that says the iPhone 9 will be out next year, in 2018 – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7rw-BTZKLI

Fake News? Stupid Bloody Tuesday is all I can say…:–))
