Day 17

Fresh Start_17: iPhone 7 News Review 
If you didn’t know, yesterday was the day that apple announced the all new iPhone. 2016’s version will be the 7 and oh man has it changed. Of course the Operating Software (OS) will be different with iOS 10, but it also includes a better camera that offers better low light photos. As usually apple has made the battery life longer, which they do every year to try and compete with Samsung. This battery is twice as iPhone 6 and the longest battery life in an iPhone. On the 7 Plus, apple is offering a duel camera set up as a sort of bonus. The speaker system has also changed, added now a two speaker—stereo setup that is two times louder than the 6s. For the first time ever apple is offering a water resistant phone; which will be a huge selling point. As a cheap add-in apple is bringing back the color black instead of “space grey”, while also added “jet black” as an option. Finally, and probably the biggest news of all the headphones are changing in a HUGE way. Apple introduced “Airpods” which are wireless earbuds that connect via Bluetooth. But before, you click off the page in anger, they are also offering the same old earbuds that they have also had, but there’s a catch. These earbuds will now have a lighting connecter at the end (iPhone’s charger cable) with a headphone jack adapter for sale.
Now, let me get to my opinion on all of this. I have recently switched from a Galaxy s5 to an iPhone 6s this past summer. Let me tell you thank god I got the 6s instead of the 7. Mostly because I will end up losing the “Airpods” within days of having that phone. Not only that but I think it is cheap of apple to change the wired earbuds to get a quick buck. I know that apple has done this before changing the charger from the orginal iPod charger to the lighting cable. That however, doesn’t make it any less frustrating as a consumer. Yes, apple is a business first and they need to make money, but too much change is scary. The water resistant feature is an “ABOUT TIME!” moment for long time iPhone users, not to mention an important selling point keeping up with Samsung. Pair that with the longer battery, low-light camera, and duel speaker and you have a HTC One; which is a phone that was made in March of 2013. The reason I compare the iPhone 7 to the HTC One is because it basically is the same phone, the only differences being: there is a longer battery, slightly better camera, and of course it has an apple logo on it. Overall I give this announcement for apple a giant “Welcome to the 21st Century award” as the company is finally awoken from the Steve Jobs era.

The 2023 Offseason is Brian Cashman's Biggest Test Yet

Image
   Now that the World Series is over five days from now the offseason begins. With that in mind, this is the biggest offseason that Brian Cashman will have in his 25-year tenure as Yankee General Manager. For the first time since 2016 the Bronx Bombers watched the postseason from their couches, and they earned that right. Amazingly, this team finished over .500, although not that far above that mark. This iteration of the Bronx Bombers finish with the same record as that 2016 team—but the feeling with this squad feels different. Following the 2016 season, there was hope of the two power bats that would usher in the “Baby Bombers,” and in that offseason, the farm system was rated in the Top 10 in all of baseball. There was almost certainty that Brian Cashman would put a championship team around Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Greg Bird, and Luis Severino that would be a title contender for years to come. There was hope. And that hope almost turned into reality. Almost. But, that was then

The Question going into the Trade Deadline for the New York Yankees

  There is a crossroads in the Bronx in between River and 161 st Street right now. As New York Yankee Manager Aaron Boone likes to put it “[the season] is right in front of them.” The second half of the season is for the taking. As we move into the dog days of summer the Bronx Bombers are nine games out of the division and now a game and a half out of the AL Wild Card race following a disappointing first series in Colorado. With that, the historic starting Tampa Bay Rays have cooled off, going 3-7 before the break while showing signs of being mortal. Baltimore, who has been keeping pace with Tampa, didn’t look like a Superpower when they split against the Yankees two series before the break. The AL East is still a Spartan Training Facility with every team above .500, the Orioles holding the first Wild Card spot, and the “struggling” Boston Red Sox tied the Yankees in the Wild Card race. And unlike Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire, help is not on the way. Aaron Judge’s toe is still a m

The Answer for the Mets

  As Yogi Berra would say “it’s déjà vu all over again.” Buck Showalter is an all too familiar place. The 67-year-old manager has taken a time machine back to 2012. No, he is not managing in Baltimore anymore, however that’s what it feels like the end of Showalter’s Oriole tenure in Queens right now. The Mets simply can’t get out of their own way. With Pete Alonso likely headed to the Injured List, the Mets scored 10 runs last night in Atlanta. 10 runs on the heels of back-to-back gut-wrenching losses at the hands of the team that has foiled the Mets for the better part of almost three decades, the Atlanta Braves. 10 runs with their hired ace, Justin Verlander, who was looking to put together good starts consecutively for the first time all season. The Mets looked like they were about to exercise some demons in Atlanta last night, and then, the other shoe dropped. It wasn’t good enough. Again. Last night, I wrote that the Mets season was on the line with Verlander toeing the slab. Well
