TL;DR: Fangirl writes gushing praise to CEO about company's new product, CEO sends back response written by marketing department.
That's assuming the whole thing isn't astroturfing.
P.S: You're not a "simple 15 year old" if you can afford an iPad Pro.
- ainiriand 11y agoTotally agree. What's noteworthy here? That a corporate demigod answers briefly and mechanically to an email? That a fangirl can't hide its hype? That a talented girl is using this expensive piece of hardware to make its creations? I'm confused.
- dang 11y agoSometimes people just like things.
- Zoglow 11y agoActually, I'd been saving my pennies for a year for something else, and decided to switch directions when the Pro came out. Do I still count as simple now?? ;P
- jerols 11y agoYou assume a lot. My sister (who just replied to you) babysat for over a year to save up for a windows product and decided to get the iPad when it came out. I saw the whole process and she genuinely loves it — not because she is a fan girl but because it has made a huge impact on her career. I think it's a super inspiring story for artists young and old and a genuine compliment to the iPad Pro.
- mikecsh 11y agoWow this is an unnecessarily bitter comment!
- dang 11y agoOh come on, please don't post bilious Grinchy stuff here. Even if you're right, it just makes this place nastier—and there was a nontrivial chance you were wrong, in which case your comment would be mean (as it turned out to be). So the expected value was negative from the beginning. Even on cynical terms, your analysis was lazy: it would be a lot more work for Tim Cook to get the marketing department to do anything than just send that reply.
