Do you believe in Jesus, the Son of God? If so, how do you know that He exists? We’ve never seen, touched or heard him speak; but at the end of the day many believe in his existence. Why? Because of teachings passed down from friends and family members as well as historical evidence. So why am I bringing up Jesus on an Apple fan site?
Because I got to thinking about the existence of the iPhone; thanks to a recent article on CNN and a quick blurb by Brian Lam of Gizmodo.
Does the iPhone really exist? Where did the idea of iPhone come from? No one has ever seen the darn thing and Apple hasn’t uttered a single word about it. Yes scores of people fervently believe that is exists and its arrival is so highly anticipated that it could also be likened to another highly anticipated (second) coming.
So why do we long for it’s arrival? Because we want to believe that there is something better coming. Something more exciting than the mundane devices that turn our user-experience into drudgery. We want to believe in its existance because we believe it will enrich our life.
Call it blind faith, call it belief in the impossible, whatever it is – I am ready to see the light. Apple…deliver me from the mundane and lead me into a mobile me.
Thanks Judie, for your help with this piece.

Lets all give thanks to me – Steve Jobs “the almighty creator of the iPhone”.
A more appropriate title for the article is “in search of
Godthe iphone”Why do we all long for it’s arrival? In your case isn’t it so as to validate the proposition your blog is based on…that the thing exists…? And to thereby position yourself as an early source of information on the new product thereby generating traffic and advertising revenue?
Sorry, but a vacuous article speculating on whether an iPhone exists on a site based on the proposition that it does, and seeking to profit from interest in it, is a bit rich in my opinion.
