This is why you aren’t a designer.Jony Ive, though he created some really cool designs, has a history of consumer products littered with flaws that developed once his 'art' was used in the real world. Going back to the G4 cube, which developed cracks in its polycarbonate shell soon after its release.
Before that, the white iBooks developed cracks around the edges of the laptop.
Fast forward to the 'innovative' design of the butterfly keyboard (which turned out to be horribly flawed) and several problems in between.
I've said it before, but to me, a great designer makes stuff that not only looks cool, but also holds up in the world against wear, tear, weather, and human use. Jony Ive's designs too often failed the second part of that equation.
His main point is good design involves being fit for purpose. That should not be controversial.This is why you aren’t a designer.
You think he alone designed the butterfly keyboard? As far as I know his name isn’t on any butterfly keyboard patents. The one below for example has 5 investors listed and they all look to be hardware engineers.I wouldn't be surprised if Jony Ive left because he got put under technical supervision after the keyboard fiasco. Maybe it will be in someone's tell-all book in 15 years.
You now that there is tens of millions of this watches? If even 50.000 cracket it's still rare."very rare circumstances" lol I worked at a London flagship and we saw this all the time
they would only do this if it was a true low number (ppm) - Remember how they denied the existence of a major flaw with the butterfly keyboard for three generations...You're right - I'd much rather see the actual data about the number of issues.
To eliminate this speculation, all Apple has to do is publish numbers (estimated units or approximate %) about the reported problem.
[Of course, there is no way to aggregate all the information about devices which are repaired by unauthorized shops or devices that are unrepaired/recycles/discarded]
Hm anyone know if this type of crack would be covered? I honestly don’t ever remember doing anything to crack it! If it is then I can sell it before I get an series 5 in a few weeks!

I just wished Apple had a more affordable way to replace a cracked screen due an accident. The last I checked it was almost as expensive as buying a new watch, especially for series 3. It doesn’t make sense for a company that claim is environmentally conscious.
3rd party solutions aren’t cheap either.

Nice. I had to pay for my Apple Watch to be replaced and the replacement done the same. due to the screen crack it just broke off on the second watch.. Thanks for screwing me Apple.
Actually it’s Sapphire glass because it’s Apples own cheaper mass produced version, and it is not as good or scratch resistant as a Swiss watches sapphire crystal screen.
Apple goes overboard on form over function. All one needs to do is look at the great Windows hardware out there. No, not all it is great, some of it is.

The supposed dichotomy between form and function is pushed by design wannabes with an agenda, most notably the Bauhaus. Originally it was a reaction against "frilly" stuff that added nothing to the actual product, like gargoyles on buildings or swirly decor on furniture.
But when people use it today it's for a different reason. Do you want to live somewhere surrounded by brutalist architecture? Do you want your laptop stripped of it's shell and with no regard for aesthetics? A FFF laptop is a chunck of metal that weights 10 pounds. That's what it would be like if it was honest to its materials, which is the ugly corollary to FFF. Is that the world you want?
Apple users say "heck no."
I think computers(and tvs/phones/watches/etc.) are all at a point of disposability. Nothing is repairable these days. Not just Apple.Out of curiosity, is there any Apple product which doesn't sooner or later require some type of replacement program?
It's becoming a joke.
Just curious. Is the watch's glass a molten product or is it a "grown" product?
No absolutely not. I’m just saying there’s a lot more than one person responsible for the design and engineering of products.Ive was paid the "big bucks", right? He was chief over all design. You mean he gets paid without responsibility, just taking the credit? But I see your point.
Thank you apple!
I’ve already known that.
This watch crack with no reason.
I thought that was because I was taking shower with hot water.
No matter what you do, mistakes will always exist. A good designer just minimizes the total amount of mistakes. And it also depends on the materials and process in the manufacturing.Jony Ive, though he created some really cool designs, has a history of consumer products littered with flaws that developed once his 'art' was used in the real world.
