Boom. Beauty and brawn. Every nanometer is accounted for in this remarkable work of man-made design. The materials and the way they are carefully crafted and sculpted into sensuous yet masculine lines suggests a profound level of power and boldness. Which also allows me to experience great works of art like Diablo, Mass Effect, GTA V.
What makes you think every phone sold needs more than 16 GB? Like it or not, most people don't use their phones for much more than texting, email, some web browsing, and the occasional phone call. Those people don't (and will not ever) need more than 16 GB. Same goes for RAM, with the added issue of power consumption going up as you add more!
The reason for this is not that the designers are uncreative, but much rather that the potential customers are extremely conservative regarding their cars. Once a car design deviates too much from what is considered standard, it's basically ignored (or laughed at). Cars are expensive, and many men are very insecure about whether their car is expressing their masculinity appropriately. Very unfortunately, many car purchases are made by men who apparently are very specific about what a girl's car looks like and what a man's car looks like. It's silly, yes, but I think that's one of the reasons why car design evolves so slowly.
I'm pretty sure his post was supposed to be a joke.
The Wall Street Journal has published an in-depth profile of industrial designer Marc Newson, a longtime friend of Apple design chief Jonathan Ive who joined the Cupertino-based company in September 2014. The interview touches upon a number of topics, ranging from Newson's creative process and design philosophies to his favorite artists and fashion designers.
Just months after reports claimed Apple is actively researching and developing an electric and possibly self-driving vehicle, Newson added fuel to those rumors by referring to the automotive industry as one of his design pet-peeves. The designer said that while cars used to encapsulate "everything that was good about progress," the industry is now "at the bottom of a trough."Newson's comments certainly do not imply that Apple is working on a vehicle, but it is clear that multiple executives at the Cupertino-based company are car enthusiasts. Apple's SVP of Internet Software and Services Eddy Cue joined Ferrari's Board of Directors in November 2012, while Ive has owned several luxury vehicles ranging from Aston Martins and Fiats to Bentleys and Land Rovers.

The New Yorker also reflected on how Newson and Ive are "car guys" in February:It was reported in February that Apple has hundreds of employees, including former Tesla, Ford and GM engineers, working on an electric vehicle at a top-secret research lab possibly located in the Sunnyvale area. The much-rumored initiative, known internally as "Project Titan," likely remains in the early stages of research and development, with Bloomberg reporting that Apple hopes to begin production in 2020.

Buy a Samsung Note, oh wait, it bends as well... Try HTC... Oh, wait... it bends... Every phone that costs the same and is the same size bends...
Really? Think 4 wheels, each with its own electric motor, and each independently steerable and able to adjust height. Combined with autonomous driving you can have awesome off road capabilities and the ability to easily park in the city with inches to spare both front and back. Don't think that will lead to new designs? Think again.
If that's you, fine. Buy a model with more storage, but don't expect that everyone needs it. Most don't.
I think you didn't read my entire post. So I'll shorten it.
New designs come out for Toyota, Honda, Nissan and Mazda every few years. None of them are particularly interesting. And they all look alike.
