With Jony Ive gone, I hope they finally move towards function over form.
From what I've been reading, the push for portraying Apple as a fashion company, came directly from Ive's side.
- noisy_boy 7y agoThat portrayal has been making them good money.
- Chris_Chambers 7y agoWe don’t know how much more they would have made if they were actually creating good products.
- Razengan 7y agoBecause, believe it or not, many people are happy with Apple's designs. And it's not just sales; Apple generally ranks at the top or near the top in customer satisfaction surveys as well.
- noisy_boy 7y agoOh I don't need any convincing that many people are happy with Apple's designs. People are happy to carry dongles to compensate for miniscule no. of ports, deal with accidents due to removal of magsafe, getting rid of escape key, bad keyboard (never thought developers would be ok with the last two) etc etc while insisting on continuing to buy fairly expensive Apple products. It pretty much underlines that Apple can basically get away with murder.
- RayVR 7y agoHaving no real insight into who made what decisions, I think Apple’s focus on design is laudable. There are many things done right. It’s just that as someone that relies heavily on my tech, the things they’ve done wrong really hit home. The keyboard I can almost understand. You might argue that there were true believers in the tech, thinking they just needed to iron out some problems and then it would be “so much better.” The webcam is something that just makes me mad. It is clearly just bad. Even with ok lighting the video quality is just horrendous. There’s absolutely no excuse. It’s basically apple saying they don’t give a fuck.
