It's a joke. https://slashdot.org/story/01/10/23/1816257/apple-releases-i...
I'm glad there are people who tell jokes, honestly.
This site is a place for serious discussion!

People say utterly ridiculous things with utmost sincerity on Hacker News all the time.
Hey gang, I think I found the new HN motto!
