Mule Design co-founder, designer, author and all around Internet bad-boy (and a very dear friend) Mike Monterio is having a lot of fun with the phrase “Courage,” which was not-so-ironically used by Apple marketer in chief, Phil Schiller when elaborating why the company got rid of the 3.5 mm audio jack on its iPhone 7, a topic that has been a source of much controversy and consteration online. Mike created a set of images featuring Rosa Parks and Mahatma Gandhi  with Apple’s AirPods (wireless headphones) to highlight the silliness of Apple’s messaging. These three were featured on Apple’s comeback ad-campaign, Think Different. I hope Mike completes the set with all the Think Different advertisements. What Mike is highlighting is that “Courage” for some of us is not getting rid of a headphone jack – that’s just technological evolution to something new, and hopefully better. (PS: Like an idiot, I misidentified Malcolm X as Martin Luther King. My sincere apologies.)
