Apple's Entire Design Team Travels to London for Award Acceptance

Quite. My initial thought as well. Past decade, 15 years at a push, maybe. But in 1992 Apple was unveiling the MessagePad Newton. Ugh.
"...Last 50 years"? That is just cringeworthy PR puff.

Make the iPad smaller.
Why is that important? Do you not think those 2 females are on the team for their skills and own merits?
Can't we move past the old thinking of counting numbers vs. focusing on the merits of people or teams?
I hope the team flies on different airlines. One airplane accident, and the worlds greatest design team is wiped out.
And don't let Samsung know what plane they use. They would sneak in someone with a Galaxy Note 2 and turn it on during the flight making the plane crash.

Thank you for the laugh sir, great comment. That is like comparing a Bugatti Veyron to a school bus. Then again maybe where you live the fat people are in fashion and the in shape people are the ugly ones.
facepalm :-\
Have you heard this one? 15 white guys and two token women walk into a secret design studio
You left out the Asian.

I think it has something to do with the fact that (right or wrong) they're been recognized by DandAD more than any other company. At least that's how I interpreted the award.
You're right - you don't have to be a professional designer to know about design. I just mean the people who post here about design with an authoritative tone. You'd think they're all designers but I doubt most or even half of them are.
How about none of them?
It's like advertising. People look at a print ad or watch a tv spot and think they could have done that... all the while being clueless about the process which drives the end result.
Yikes glad nothing happened in transit (obviously, ever!). But that's a lot of eggs in one airline basket.
Note copy cat? Is this the new standard reponse "they copied everything from apple"
As if (to keep it on topic) apple never closely looked at braun and its designs and copied those 1 on 1 .
Its not because apple is beter at copying they arent copying.
Plenty to go around. Samsung usually gets the most number of awards for Innovation at CES every year, and Design awards from other countries' versions of the D&AD.
Interestingly, for 2012, D&AD gave a Product Design award to the Nokia N9, not the Galaxy or iPhone:
I'm thankful that Jon doesn't still wear velour jumpsuits, or whatever the heck it was he used before he re-invented his own look:
I bet that is no coincidence... I'm pretty sure Sir Jony has designed their suits, choosen the fabric, the buttons, the shirts so they all look like a team, a design team, or better said, Apple's design team
Can you imagine on the contrary a bunch of geeks with in ill-fitting pants and knitted pullovers??
No way 
Well, that would be a pretty cool publicity stunt, wouldn't it? It would help expose the lies and conspiracy that led to Apple winning this award when their competitors clearly have better designed products.
wonder anybody know their names in the photo? or at least the girl to the right of Jony
Wake the hell up. What I was implying is that there need to be more females.
I didn't expect the product design industry to (also) be male-dominated.
Too bad the design industry don't feel your comment, but hey what do the professionals know... or the stock market
