Is Facebook killing your iPhone’s battery or are you?

I was thinking it was an amazing way to avoid telling people why the product hasn't shipped yet. They've been doing pre-orders for more than a year. Sometime in there it went from $149 a pair to $199 a pair. I admire the desire to make something "absolutely perfect", but perfect products don't ship.

We started shipping earlier this month, which is why the price went up from the prior pre-order discounted number.

Stay tuned for a novel-length blog themed around something like, "Why Manufacturing & Supply Chain Are 100X Harder (& Take 100X Longer) Than Everyone Tells You". But I'm sort of still in PTSD mode. ;-)

Thanks! :-D

Our hardware team has been working on our next product for a few months -- that's why they found time to hack into iPhone batteries, lol, as work on the first product has been handed off to supply chain & manufacturing for the most part. ;-)

Meanwhile, the rest of the engineering team is working on firmware & software updates to make the hardware we're already shipping even better/more interesting (and of course, responding to first consumers' feedback).

But... you know what? Sorry for going on a tangent. All I really want to say is thanks, means a lot. Sometimes it's hard to enjoy these victories because you get so focused on the next uphill battle. ;-)
