    In the Steve Jobs biography they said the reason why they did rounded edges was because people were afraid of technology so it made the products accessible and not threatening to pick it up.

      That’s so Frank Lloyd Wright thinking. He once said that “the box was a fascist symbol”. He loved his rounded corners and edges.

      Generally, more rounded stuff is more friendly. Think of kids toys that are usually really rounded. When the iPhone and iPod first came out, Apple was probably more concerned about getting people to accept the tech rather than performance

    Amazing research and design process! Just wish to debate your antennas and resting pads- the antennae look more like resting pads (like the pads on macbooks) and your centre pad looks more like the top because its centrally aligned and has so much emphasis(oval & harmonious to the overall form, central, sharp contrast to the background{black on aluminium}, it's raised and it has something written in the centre). Would love to hear what you think!

    Great video David! I am always so inspired when I watch your videos - explanations, the visuals are good, and the pace is just my style. Its amazing that your analysis of the brand and their products result in a product like this - I think I would have gotten a completely different result :-) But I like it very much, and all your decisions are explained too. I was wondering however, why you started with a rectangular shape, and not a square, as the previous routers from Apple?

    • @somegraythings
      @somegraythings  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Oh Mads, you’re making me blush. I think a square would have been too much like other Apple products (ex. Mac Mini/studio). I thought they would try a different aspect ratio for a new product line. I also kind of liked the look of this metal bar type thing :)

    @Alpha8713 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I would be curious to know how Apple (or you) would justifiy the changes over time in their design philosophy. I would argue (and suspect that you would agree) that good design shouldn't be trendy or go out of style. Yet Apple seems to have gone through several different design stages (as you note) over time. Anyway, good video.

    dude i just clicked on it from the main page to see the rest later
    but , I finished 11 minutes later
    So, Good job!
    you talking soo cool and I always appreciate the way you attention to details.
    what you said is pretty close to the official guide, though ;)
    but
    I would have some comments here :)
    Things like if they could be considered, then we had more Apply things at the end! LOL
    So
    The first thing is the Scale and dimensions
    yea there are some curves at the corners but not any curvature!/ completely harmonized with the boxy shape in a golden ratio way
    2- they add / or remove or form by logic/
    for example, it should be Aluminum because of the recycling process and the costs saving that this specific material could bring to company / (Melting and reusing again)
    the curves happen since the form of the tool! / we see it on each edge of the keyboard's key hole or the port's hole or even at the two ends of the laptop front edge cut, as you showed in the pictures. So maybe considering the making process or the tools that gonna be used in , would give us a look closer to APPLY design ;)
    The third. Fakiinn countless amount of prototyping. to get what is best fit, out of thousands . not just the first best result!
    BTW. the Apple book that called Apple book.! makes us more familiar with the behind scene of the reasoning behind every design at Apple. So, if you have it in the library give it shot :)
    AND overall, thank you that opened this cool topic by creating this content/
