hopefully they fired that guy. Whoever designed that mouse deserves to be fired.
Apple really hasn't made a comfortable-to-use mouse since this one, and that was a loooong time ago…
Ha, ha… Brilliant! My vote for comment of the month.

I don't see how it is NOT a budget device. $329 for a 7.9 inch premium tablet that will likely be sold for $249 when the next years retina models come out. Besides the Kindle and the Nexus tablets which are designed to be sold for little or no profit, all other $199 tablets low end specs and build. And 7.9 inch tablet with a 4:3 aspect ratio is more like a 8.5 inch tablet with a 16:10 ratio tablet (the same way the 9.5 inch iPad has actually bigger screen area vs the 10.1 inch tablets from the competition).

So Tim found another way to shave a penny! Why am I scared that this "cheaper" iPhone is for the next regular iPhone? Tim "Bigger Margins" Cook might.
That said, if the internals of an AppleTV are costing $99, what is stopping Apple from releasing a slightly more expensive iPhone?
you're assuming they're going to use the plastic for body work. could be for anything.

What about the Mighty Mouse? I also thought the puck mouse felt good to hold even though others hated it. Anyway I'd never use an Apple mouse unless it's a Mighty or Magic Mouse. Right-click and the scroll wheel are essential.
A budget model of a device is generally one that has nothing going for it over the premium model except price. The iPad Mini has proved, however, to NOT be inferior to the full sized iPad when price is taken out of the equation. Many people who could easily afford a full sized iPad opt to buy the Mini instead, as they like the size, and even some people who already have a full sized iPad are buying the Mini.
However if Apple brought out a budget iPhone, can you imagine anyone that already has a full sized iPhone, or could afford a full sized iPhone, buying it? I can't, unless it's just to review/try out the device.
Now how are you all going to bash the Galaxy S 3? You can't use the plastic gimmick any longer /sarcasm.
Didn't know Aluminium was magnetic...

One resin family is call Ultem, it is an extremely tough resin. I've slammed Utem resin with a three pound hammer and not even dented it. Some variants of this material process at 750 degrees which is similar to zinc based die castings. Tough stuff!!?,I dunno folks... I look at my 4S and marvel at the precision machine engineering that went into the thing.
Plastic meh. Give me rubber... something that bounces on concrete.
That is the difference between us. I love my girlfriend. ;-)

<insert smarmy comment about how Apple would never use Plastic as it's cheap>
I still think that whilst the iPhone 5 is a sexy phone, it'd be nicer with the glossy plastic back of the 3/3s. Nothing wrong with plastic.
I am not sure, what they describe in their job posting seems to be more applicable in product packaging.Though Apple has focused heavily on aluminum for the iPad, the iPhone, and the MacBook line for the past few years, the Cupertino-based company has continued used plastics for the Apple TV, the Airport Extreme, keyboards, and other accessories.
