Oh boy...Stop it!The rationale? If engineers had to adjust their gait while entering the building, they risked distraction from their work, according to a former construction manager.

But that doesn't negate my general point: attention to detail in Apple products is often lacking.
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.

"issues that do not effect me that much." They don't affect you, but they clearly effect many of others who complain.I got one of these MacBook pros, using it for video editing and photography and loving it. Guess how much cables and dongles do I have? 1. Guess how I am coping having the work done? Brilliant.
I just happen to be one of these guys who can't be bothered bitching about issues that do not effect me that much.
I am SO super cool!
I build a dental office and there are no thresholds on any of the doors. No wonder I have such laser focus during the day - I'm not having my train of thought broken by stepping over a door threshold.
Who knew?
One of the most vexing features was the doorways, which Apple wanted to be perfectly flat, with no threshold. The construction team pushed back, but Apple held firm.

I think you're confusing "threshold" for "door frame".
I don't think Samsung will rip-off a building...This is what separates Apple from the rest.
Haters hate for what they believe to be arbitrary detail, but when all put together make the sum of beautiful aesthetic.
Blandness normally cannot understand the levels of work involved in forward thinking creatives.
As always, after the pain staking detail and money that goes into being original, and enduring hate from jealous upholders of mediocrity, said wannabes soon follow suit with their copycat, I mean 'ideas' inspired by Apple.
Hi, wasn't sure what you meant by your glass houses comment but re the charging critique, my point is it's only a 20 or so seconds charge with the pencil so I don't see the issue. If you had to leave it there for half an hour I would think it was an issue. What other options would there be? A tethered cable? More or less elegant? Wireless? More costly? Bigger pencil to compensate for this?"... said wannabes soon follow suit with their copycat, I mean 'ideas' inspired by Apple." -triton100
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.
People probably thought the same when Apple brought out their first Apple Store....I don't think Samsung will rip-off a building...
Let's remove the charging port next!It's happening!

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.

But if they had actually lost their way the execution would be poor. It isn't.?
This is Jobs' final project, he launched it.
If only they had the same attention to detail for their own products. It's been months now that I cannot simply turn on Bluetooth on my iPhone without the need to redo it two or three times because it simply doesn't work the first time. There are many, many othere examples of obvious bugs that go unrepaired for far too long.
There will be the exclusive, prime time 60-Minutes episode, a large portion of a keynote (if not it's own keynote) devoted to the campus, a self-produced documentary... Apple will be talking about this. A lot. As they should.I sure would want to have a (physical) tour of the place sometime.
Hopefully they will have a 15-20 minute presentation in one of their Apple Events.
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.
Actually "an amazing and beautiful creation" usually means good architecture.
I certainly do. Look at their product line. I don't think many would say they completely lost their way, but Jobs + Apple was definitely better to my memory and opinion.And people think Apple lost their way since Jobs
