Today's Story Highlights

Apple's Worthy iPhone 8 Models May Languish in X's Shadow
Reviews of Apple's new iPhone 8 and 8 Plus have been laudatory. However,
the reviewers can't seem to get their minds off the jewel of the Apple
universe, the iPhone X. Both the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus are "awesome" and
better than last year's models -- but iPhone shoppers who want to be
part of the future will save their money and buy an iPhone X later in
the year, suggested reviewer David Pierce.

Is Packaged Entertainment Media Really on the Way Out?
As home video viewing patterns continue to evolve, one common prediction
is that packaged media is on its last legs. Streaming services have been
gaining market share. In fact, streaming media sales eclipsed sales of
DVDs and Blu-ray discs for the first time in Q4 2016 -- with discs
accounting for $5.4 billion in annual U.S. sales compared to the $6.2
billion haul for SVOD providers.

The New iPhones: Apple's Strangely Wrongheaded Pivot
It fascinates me that succession from a successful CEO to the chosen
successor almost always goes badly. This phenomenon isn't limited to the
CEO level -- I've seen highly successful CMOs followed by handpicked
successors who also seem to have no clue as to why their predecessor did
so well. I think it comes down to a lack of mentoring combined with
misconceptions.

reMarkable's Pricey, Paper-Like Tablet Ready to Ship
reMarkable on Monday will begin shipping what might best be described as
an "untablet" -- a device that is, essentially, an electronic piece of
paper. The company is proud of its paper tablet's simplicity, boasting
that no other tablet has fewer functionalities. reMarkable users cannot
install apps, watch videos or take photos. What they can do is read,
write and sketch on a paper-like surface.
