exposed drivers on a 'outdoor use' 600 dollar device gives me an extreme sense of anxiety.
Reminds me of Braun products; products designed to look nice, but in general usability suffers in favor of sleek metal human interfaces, nice weights, and a generally 'quality' feel.

- AceJohnny2 6y agoWell gee. Jony Ive is openly inspired by Dieter Rams, the designer behind many of Braun's products. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/apple/8555503/Dieter-Rams-Apple-has-achieved-something-I-never-did.html https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/apple/8555503/Dieter-...
- jhvkjhk 6y agoWow, thank you.

- chrischen 6y agoPeople complain about Apple products because it’s one of the most used by people who actually care about what they use, and then fail to provide any decent alternatives.
- manspeterson 6y agoThe whole product reminds me a lot about the Braun T52. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=braun+t52&iax=images&ia=images https://duckduckgo.com/?q=braun+t52&iax=images&ia=images
