Huh, how can hardware and software have "opposing designs"? I'm just an engineer who doesn't understand design so please explain.

- pistle 13y agoThis my semi-outsider opinion. Metal. Minimal. Futurism. Refined. Ive. Kitchy. Cozy. Gaudy. Forstall and most things not iOS7 (and iOS7 has compromises) If this includes Christie now, yeah, him too. So much of the UX has seemed to betray the industrial design. It's like Window's old "Hot Dog" color theme. I'm going to guess that Ive pushed to get people in line and the same old flat vs. skeumorphic arguments simmered since that is one specific instance of a larger aesthetic argument. Certain aspects of the OSX are well done, but many parts are dated, klunky, and even garish. Apple hardware looks beautiful sitting somewhere turned OFF or with someone else's app/lication loaded up. The native stuff feels like cheap plastic body kits on refined European sports cars (not the Italian ones).
