The other imminent stuff - iPhone 17e, new entry level iPad and the iPad Air. I’m not expecting a new iPad Pro for a while. My iPad usage dropped off significantly after the 2018 iPad Pro but the M4/M5 design is hard to stop using. Highly recommend.

Viral score

Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

Why it worked

Leads with a specific number, which is concrete enough to be worth a second of attention.
Contradicts something the audience already believes, which stops the scroll.
The opening line stands alone, so it reads completely before the post is expanded.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.

The mechanics

Hook: Leads with a number
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal
Mechanisms: Pattern interrupt
Written for: Product teams
