    Other I did last minute rendering of iPhone 17Pro. I think the new design is great

    Maybe a little bit late but this is what I think the new iPhone 17 Pro will looks like. I worked on this for a few days but didn't have time to finish it until now. Integrating antenna into the aluminum frame continuing around camera bump. With frosted glass or composite back panel for MagSafe...

    iMac M4 Magic Mouse failed after 5 months — no replacement, and Apple doesn’t even sell it

    My 82-year-old father bought a blue iMac M4 five months ago. It came with a matching blue Magic Mouse — part of Apple’s iconic design experience. A few days ago, the mouse stopped working. It no longer charges, and is not recognized by any device. It’s clearly a hardware failure, and it’s under...

    When is Apple going to fix the glaring inconsistency of the fn key?

    Apple has a reputation for attention to detail, but I have no idea how this travesty made it through the design process unchanged. All of the other modifier keys (control, option, command) have the key's name at the bottom, and the icon on the top right. However, when the fn key was given the...

    New Macbook design?

    For 25 years I have always felt a desire to upgrade my MacBook Pro/Air when new versions are released. However since two years that feeling is gone. I honestly hate the fat looking rounded edge design of the MacBooks, feels like a tribute to MacBooks 20 years ago. I guess Ive/Jobs would never...

    New Displays only with Thunderbolt 5

    I am new here and would like to start with a thought. The Studio Display is really nice. It can't do much, but it looks very good and thanks to Samsung we know that it's not as expensive as we all thought at first. It's also virtually unique on the market in terms of build quality. The Pro...

    Do Apple designers use iPads or pen and paper?

    I’m wondering if Apple designers still use pen and paper instead of the iPad drawing capabilities? the last video I saw of them was when Jony Ive was talking about design by Apple book ad. You can see the designers with pen and paper. what are your thoughts?

    Back to plastic chassis on Macbooks - why not?

    So we all know laptops used to all be plastic cases. Then eventually either tastes changed, metal chassis construction got cheaper, or a need for the chassis to be a heat sink made most of them switch to metal cases. But metal chassis are COLD and uncomfortable on the lap, wrists and hands...

    All new mac app for my SwiftUI design/code/animation tool 'Kolibri'

    I launched Kolibri for SwiftUI earlier this year on iOS, iPadOS and as a mac catalyst app. But I quickly noticed that the catalyst app felt kinda bad on macOS. So for me it was clear that I had to remake the mac version as a proper native mac app. And after lots of work and refactoring I...

    WatchOS10 Design choices

    Is anyone else not liking some of the big changes across WatchOS 10? Namely: - Info that used to all be on one page split across multiple pages (Activity App, Heart Rate) - Tiny buttons (that sometimes don’t respond) to navigate to different pages that used to be a swipe (Weather, the – button...

    designing on curved displays?

    The Studio Display is a great display but maybe not big enough. Im looking for a bigger display for designing stuff using Illu/Pshop/Indesign/Xd etc. Maybe a curved display like the LG UltraWide 40WP95C-W, but the curvature kinda worries me... will it work ok for the apps that i will be using to...

    Trying to find a Twitter about a Google Material Icon glitch and Jony Ive...

    I've been searching for a Twitter thread I saw in early 2022 or so talking about a Google Material icon with visual glitch due to an svg rounding error. They say that it was reported around 2016 and only fixed recently. Then, someone who worked for Jony Ive also chimes in on something about how...

    iPhone 13 Pro Does anyone prefer the design of the non-Pro to the Pro?

    I find myself torn - I want the features of the Pro line (cameras, screen mostly), but MUCH prefer the design of the non-Pro line. I really prefer the matte sides and the colors offered on the backs of the non-Pros. The polished edged of the Pro feel way too "blingy" to me and also kinda look -...

    To Taper or Not to Taper?

    Should the MacBook Air be designed with a taper? It's iconic and a key element of the design. While more practical and perhaps more solid, thinner even, without the wedge-shaped design I can't help but miss it on the M2 MacBook Air not having owned a MacBook Air before. I envisioned owning a...

    All iPads Why isn’t there an iPad/iPad Pro Art Thread?

    I’m simply curious why there isn’t an iPad/iPad Pro art thread. If there is, point me to it, please! Just as we have photography and pics of the day shot with different model iPhones, shouldn’t we have a design/art one for iPads? Or am I the only artist that thinks it’s a good idea?

    iPhone 13 I’m thinking of upgrading from the X to 13 due to bad battery life, but I’m worried about that build quality won’t be the same.

    The battery life on my X is very disappointing. I’m often left with just 50% battery by the time I get to work. It gets very warm as well, so I’m thinking of upgrading to a 13. However, I’m worried about the build quality wont live up to my X. I absolutely love the stainless steel on my X. It’s...

    Is there someday the Apple printer will come?

    Do you think Apple will design its own printer? If the engineers from Cupertino develop something new, better, and more efficient in this area, they would completely revolutionize the printer market. That would be great... What do you think?
