It doesn't take a genius to actually read the articles and realize that Facebook isn't releasing a phone.
In fact, a genius likely wouldn't be critical of a product that doesn't exist.
Semantics...Pfft.

Seriously, kids don't use facebook anymore.
It's either twitter, instagram or snapchat... not facebook.
one could argue Facebook itself is a massive waste of time too!
My two boys don't use it at all. Other people I know don't use it or use it sparingly. Just pointing out that there are differences among different people.

Interesting. Give me the age group of the people (aside from your boys) - That may have something to do with it.
My own personal anecdotal experience, as an undergraduate student at a large university in the centre of a large metropolitan city, says the complete opposite. Yes I and my friends all very extensively use the full gamut of social networks (well except AOL Messenger, no one except the aforementioned tech-writer group uses that), and of course this is inclusive of MySpace. Yet while the latter may not be very "hip" anymore, it nevertheless is the *primary* and in many ways the *indispensable* network. It is the de facto social network, full stop. To underestimate its significance then, is a colossal mistake. I speak for myself of course, but I firmly believe that I speak for a wide swath of my friends as well, if not the vast majority.
There you go, I made a few adjustments to what we were all hearing about 10 years ago.
Semantics...Pfft.
Honestly I see precisely this sentiment throughout so many online blogs and what not – Facebook is no longer hip, relevant, etc etc. Now I won't invoke the whole argument that the blogosphere / tech-writers often seem to live in their own little bubble, but in this case it's difficult not to.

I read none of the comments here...
Please keep this garbage off of my iPhone. Thank you.
How quickly we forget that FB integration was a major selling points of one of the recent iOS updates... The irony is thick here.
