         | No clue... but that's why I posted it here. If it had been a
         | general PR thing then who cares. Unless it's developer-relevant
         | because iOS.vNext has some breaking changes and it's about to
         | drop?

         | (ads!!) to be released and go in person to discussion panels
         | about upcoming products. It's wild out there!

       | coming to the company's new smartphone."
