You missed out the Apple pencil and Magic Mouse charging shots, and the collection of docks, dongles and new cables you need to use a 2016 MBP with existing peripherals.
I'm sure it will be an amazing and beautiful creation when complete. But that doesn't necessarily make it a good piece of architecture.
And also the Mac Pro. There is some concern that he has too much on his plate. But he keeps saying it is fine, so Cook has decided to not delegate any of his responsibilities to someone else.
Well, you're obviously living in a fantasy world then. Enjoy.
Actually "an amazing and beautiful creation" usually means good architecture.
Yeah it looks kinda dumb (the text and case overlapping, the case itself is not bad)
But Marc Newson probably wouldn't let them drop that idea
The holes and color of the case are his
Both products take from 20 seconds to 1 minute to charge a full days worth.
If you want to keep your devices constantly plugged for longer doesn't that negate the point of it being wireless?
Try again
Form over function, again with Apple. I'm sure they think they've thought through how wonderful everything is going to be, but we'll see how reality squares up with their expectations. I wouldn't be surprised if this place turns out as soulless as Levis Stadium a few miles away. They'd be better off building thousands of small garages for their employees to directly drive into, doubling as their offices. It'd be truer to their history and probably inspire more creativity. Good luck hatching the next big "one more thing" in a beehive, Borg ship, vanity project. For God's sake just leave the safety signs that everyone is used to seeing instead of putting your employees lives in danger when the next inevitable earthquake strikes again.
If you figure out the imperial system and learn it quickly with no errors
I'll switch to metric
You can't just switch systems at the snap of fingers, I've been using Celsius for months (coming from F) and I still don't understand it (I know the formula, but I can't say it's 20C so it's kinda hot outside)
USB C is a great port. If you buy a MacBook Pro you will be happy in a few years that it has all USB C ports because everything that "Pros" use will go in that direction eventually.
I suspect the next iMac will have mainly just USB C ports as well. And it might be all USB C as well even though there is plenty of space to put the other ports. The MacBook Pro's ports will seem like a non-issue by 2018. And this is a computer that is powerful enough that it should atlas be used for five years and possibly as long as ten years. It needs to be future proof. The ports will help that.
I am a heavy pro user. OSX Etc are intuitive and well thought out.
The only reservations I have are over Apple Music which could be much better laid out. I have not however, come across one of your 'bugs'.
So no, my world is very realistic and far from fantastical, though some of the comments here really make me doubt that.
Now I know why they haven't had time to update Macs, love Apple designs but think they have lost their equilibrium point between design and function
You have the language set to one of those damn foreign ones. It's obviously user error.
/s
Interesting. I couldn´t care less about a place i will never work at and that is not meant to be accessible for the public.
But ok, the interior design might be quite nice, while the outside is well....rounded and it was perfectly clear from the beginning it would exactly like it does now.
To be honest it LOOKS quite boring to me, although I am sure that very interesting architectural approaches have been made.
Yeah and if you read the article you'd see that they still are paying extreme attention to detail even today.
A building, although very important in enhancing ambience, is made soulful or soulless by the people that inhabit it. Just like when you go out, it's who you're with rather than where you're at.
The campus has been built to inspire and increase collaboration between departments.
Maybe the soulless buildings in your experience have been derived from the company you kept there.
SJ approved it but they're still nitpicking about everything as if he was still here.

Nope.
Attention to detail in Apple products is extreme and unmatched. What you're asking for is philosophical perfection, which is inherently impossible to achieve.
What it points out is nothing is perfect and can be made perfect. That doesn't mean that Apple does not have a lacking of attention to detail because over the course of many years there are some annoying glitches here and there to some people. That's all I'm pointing out.

You should be careful when throwing stones, your glass house might not survive it.
Triton, come on man. You obviously know @theluggage is talking about the location of the charging ports - since this discussion is about attention to detail - and not about charging time. The deflection is unnecessary. The stylus sticking out at a right angle from the iPad and the port on the bottom of the mouse aren't evidence of attention to detail.
I take this snark in good humour, this actually made me snort out loud.
They are actually the only company I know to pay a great attention to details on their products. But hey, your iPhone Bluetooth does not work so therefore it may be the case for hundreds of millions of other users.
