No, "the iPhone" in this sentence is representing the iPhone development program and its high-stress, night- and weekend-consuming, burnout-inducing, multi-year schedule. That - and the resulting changes in behavior - can absolutely be sufficient cause of a wrecked marriage.
Some fallacies are universal: "If A then B, therefore because not A, not B" is an example. But that one seems extremely contextual. It denies that "If A then B" is possible.
- dguaraglia 9y agoI'm willing to be the iPhone (the actual device) might actually have had part in many more broken marriages than the development process itself. Mind you, not saying the iPhone caused the broken marriages, but it has become the preferred medium of communication for a substantial part of the population. I wonder how many of the unmasked Ashley Madison users were iPhone users :P
