Just occurred to me after years of seeing this typed out….but “(PRODUCT)RED” is actually such an odd-looking thing to read. Almost like when you say a word over and over again til it starts to sound weird.
The accent...so grating on the ears.😣
And here, folks, we have someone that can't see past his own nose. 🤥
(In case you missed it, Red Nose Day is about bringing smiles, laughter and joy to the world. I think present company needs more of those. It's a fund-raiser and helps to raise awareness... see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comic_Relief)
The Ive approach just requires it to look great on the shelf. …or in a white lightbox.
…in use it can be a total klugey mess, but that’s the users problem after they got it.
The lack of attention to detail is surprising, given that this is Ive's work, eh? If Steve Jobs was here, those noses would be perfectly aligned on everyone! 🤣
Sure he made some interesting design decisions, however, he had nothing to do with the recent iPad 10.9" and HomePod which are both very weird products in their own right. I mean talk about a device that supports a pencil but you can't use it because you need an adapter, and even then if it dies, you can't just plug it into the charging port because it's lightning and the said device is USB-C.
Ooh this is good knowledge. Is there a similar thing for bi-weekly? I never know whether that's twice a week or every two weekssemiannual and biannual mean twice a year

Makes a nice change from the rubber, and much easier to pocket. I do dig the design, it looks very Homepod-y, and uses a lot less plastic
No, because the charity alternates between two themed events. Red Nose Day/Comic Relief one year, Sport Relief the next.
Every school kid and teacher in the country will probably buy one of these, and £2.49 is about the average price for a red nose. When I was a kid they were £1 but that was the 80’s lol. Thankfully Apple aren’t running comic relief the model you suggest would probably be their strategy lol.
I don't know. I tend to use fortnightly for every two weeks, and bi-weekly for twice a week. less confusing, especially in my usual muddled state.
My my, how the mighty have fallen. One decade designing premiere computers, the next cheap party favors usually purchased for $3 at Party City.
I understand how Sir Jonathan Ive want to contribute to the British culture and heritage … Maybe next time the Poppy, the Xmas jumper or a pint of beer …
If you do not know why some folks on this forum dislike Ive's contributions, you haven't been reading enough posts! 😂😂😂
