A Peak at a Few Larger Cities in the US & Canada

Huh? Why is there a noun where the verb is supposed to be?

Appartently the Patently Apple staff doesn't have a proof reader...on staff. Or worse, they do and he/she is only semi-literate.

A peek is a noun too. But yeah.

Oh, the irony of making a typo when critiquing spelling or grammar...

Me, I blame auto-correct. Not that it's always fair, but the alternative is usually blaming myself, and we can't have that, can we? :)

How about the fact that although it is a homophones for "peek," the meaning of "peak" is also an indication that iPhone/iPad/iOS usage spikes or PEAKS "at a few larger cities in the US & Canada?"
