Apple is a famously secretive company — and no doubt that’s one reason that breathless rumors about what it’s working on have become  a genre unto themselves . One overlooked byproduct of this rumor mill is the ever-growing collection of computer-generated renderings of Apple creations that don’t yet exist — and often never will. These depictions range from best-guess approximations based on alleged leaks to completely speculative flights of fancy.

They are self-centred and fight only for their pockets.  “Me, Buhari and every Nigerian just have to die the same day. Not just for us to die one ...
