I am not an iPhoner.

But I am an AppleFan from way back. All the other stuff I own is by Apple.

So it is nice to see how big a role Apple still plays in the universe. From the NYT this morning.

“Apple is now so big that it takes a lot to make it grow appreciably,” Mr. Sacconaghi said. It’s producing an impressive interrelated ecosystem of products and services, including its forthcoming digital watches, its new digital payment system, its revived Mac line, refreshed iPads and new software operating systems. Even if all of its ventures succeed, none are likely in the next year or two to rival the financial impact of the iPhone. “The iPhone is the core of Apple right now,” he said.

Sacconaghi is some financial analyst who studies the Apple market.

Somewhere in heaven Steve Jobs is smiling.

One might ask why I am not on an iPhone. I ask myself sometimes.

I am just phone resistant. I have an iPad, I have a big iMac. I own a Kindle (not Apple). All good. All used daily. I love them.

But when it comes to a phone, no dice.

I suppose that it is based on my refusal to text. The process doesn't interest me at all. I have nothing against it, I am just not a player.

I hate all the thumb work. The fact that after all that work I am left with a marginal, superficial result. Ain't me.
