Why do you want to make my job more difficult by requiring me to carry a sketchbook on me at all times? Why do you hate trees and the environment when we have a perfectly good moleskine in our pockets at all times called the iPhone? I seriously don't get what's wrong with you people who hope that great features never come to the iPhone because a guy who has been dead for five years didn't like crappy stylus back in the day and now we've got this amazing Apple Pencil that works really well for us artists and designers. Get over Steve's death and stop trying to trample on progress. The Pencil is incredible technology and implementing it in the iPhone would be simple. It's not going to change the primary input method in the slightest because most people aren't going to pony up for a $99 accessory and it has more of a singular purpose, which is for drawing. Why do you get so mad when you see someone using something in a way that doesn't jive with your expectation? Maybe that works better for that person because they have some sort of disability? Did you stop to consider that? I do UX/UI Design in apps and the web for a living, and I'm constantly surprised with what our users tell us in testing, especially as it relates to accessibility testing. There are certain things that help them accomplish tasks easier. They could have shaky hands from parkinsons and maybe they can more easily tap things with the Pencil. You don't know, so don't judge.
Perhaps an effort to look less perfect? To be more relatable to the masses? Any time I see a design decision made, especially on something that is circulated on this scale, I have to believe that it was intentional and there is some method to the madness behind it. Some testing that was done, some philosophy being followed. We're taught all of this in design school, and I really doubt Apple just slaps something together. So it must have some desired effect on the masses. It's rougher, less meticulous.
You think Apple released their invite unintentionally? Or am I not getting something?
I read that as "whipping on Cue" and I was like, boy, that's harsh. But I think Apple have a great opportunity here. Cue comes out on stage ripped like a professional swimmer and announces it's all because of Apple Watch.
Introducing: myself. I switched from a Sony Ericsson to an iPhone because the iPhone had a 3.5mm jack and I could use any headphones I wanted, not just the terrible earbuds with a proprietary connector Sony put in the box. I now own one pair of Bluetooth headphones for the gym – they cost twice as much as my (ha) wired Sony buds and they sound terrible in comparison, but gym is one place where I like having loads of bass and the convenience of no wires. I own six or so pairs of wired headphones, ranging from those Sony earbuds to semi-pro studio ones.
What the hell is it with Apple and setting events at the same day as others. This is the same time the Sony 4k Neo is being announced as well.
