I wanted to take a minute to thank you, the readers, for making 2014 another great year on The Loop.

The Loop is so much more than just a job or somewhere I make money, it’s a place where I get to interact with people from around the world and share my honest opinions on Apple and technology. The Loop is an important part of my life.

If you are a member of The Loop, paying $3 a month, I want to thank you a little more. It may seem like a trivial amount of money, but it helps keep the lights on and make this whole site possible.

Of course, a huge thanks to the sponsors of The Loop. Your continued support of the site is critical to what we do. Thank you!

Over the last year, The Loop has become bigger than just me. Dave Mark and Shawn King work tireless every day to post interesting stories. I could not have done it without you year this year.

Thanks everyone. Have a great Christmas and Happy New Year!

Jim
