Considering this incident that occurred in Beijing, it seems that everyone wants an Apple instead of an orange this upcoming Lunar New Year.
Why does Apple looks set to win?
Everyone knows that Apple is currently numero uno in the technology industry due to their innovative gadgets which incorporates user-personalisation such as the iPad, iPhone, iPod, not forgetting the iMac desktop and laptop line which gives users a break from the Windows operating system found on a personal computer.
All of these innovations were developed when Apple was under the leadership of co-founder Steve Jobs, a man who was hailed as a revolutionary of the Silicon Valley. Although, he is probably just as well-known for his iconic ‘uniform’ that consists of a black turtleneck, blue jeans and white trainers which he wore for all of Apple’s public events.

Though it has been three months
since the Apple co-founder’s death, the last product that he
October 14 last year. The
iPhone 4S is selling well, despite initial disappointment during the
media
release on October 4, a day before Jobs’ demise.
Should I add the S?
So, if you’re already using an iPhone 4, is it really worth it for you to upgrade it to a 4S with your ‘ang bao’ money? The table below will highlight the key differences in the specifications between the two models, helping you to make your decision!
For a more in-depth comparison, click here.
I suppose that the additional 3 grams and missing 100
hours of battery life in standby time is due to the 4S having a built-in personal
assistant Siri, a
five-element lens camera that beats the iPhone 4’s by 3-megapixels, enhanced
video recording resolution and stability, as well as the groundbreaking
innovation that is Bluetooth
4.0.
Funny scenarios that can happen this New Year
This Lunar New Year, while you visit your relatives armed with two mandarin oranges that you’ll exchange for an ‘ang bao’, it will not be surprising to see some at the family gatherings fiddling around with their Apple products, be it an iPad, iPod or iPhone. What’s more interesting are the funny but entirely possible situations that may happen!
The iBao
Instead of getting cash in your ‘ang bao’, your parents may give you the ‘iBao’!
The ‘iBao’ is basically just any Apple product stuffed into a red packet, so just pray hard that it will be an iPhone 4S that ranges from $948 to $1238 depending on the memory space and not an iPod Shuffle that only costs $68.

I cannot live without all my Apple products. I have gotten so use to having them with me 24/7 it is a must to turn to them each time i open my eyes after a tech gadget free sleep.
ReplyDeleteGreat article & I love the orange replacement segment of this article!
Very innovative way of using the Apple products as a way to sail through the CNY! I see no point of changing my iPhone4 to a 4S since there isnt much difference except the camera lens which excites me. But overall, a engaging and fun article to read!
ReplyDeleteGood job! :)
I am such a forgetful person and I never fail to forget the pair of oranges! What a creative way to present oranges! Very interesting read, Bryan!
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHA! I LAUGHED AT THE iBAO!
ReplyDeleteApple products are the best thing Steve Jobs ever invented. He has made communications so much more easier for the whole world. Dearly missed!
Interesting article, loved the part about iBao, certainly hope to receive it!
ReplyDeleteThe point made on mandarin orange replacement seems valid to me, since we will still take back from others at the end of the day.
Sorry to say but I CAN live without Apple products! c: Though I'm rather fascinated by the technology and sleek and minimalist design of the iPod, iPad (and the list goes on), everywhere I turn I see Apples. I shalt not be swayed by THE DARK SIDE!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I like how you weaved in the element of CNY into the article; commendable effort indeed!
Thanks for the comment addiection!
DeleteI used to think that I would not be swayed to the dark side, till I took an Apple to the knee.
Sorry but I couldn't resist pulling off 'an arrow to the knee' joke.
Thank you for all the wonderful comments, some of you have raised really interesting points as to how a simple product from Apple has changed the way you lived!
ReplyDeleteI hoped you all enjoyed reading the article and don't forget, there's a mystery prize for one lucky commenter who will be announced on the 25th of January!
