Jony Ive Designs 'Most Perfect Nose in History' for British Charity Comic Relief

[digger10]

I want one that comes in brushed Al-Oooh-Min-Yum.

Al-Oooh-Min-EEE-Yum surely?

 

[RobbieTT]

Staingate already and I am just about to pick another!

So WTF does this have to do with Apple? I’ve was just another of the eff-ups at Apple who put form over function. What a moron he is.

If you do not know why some folks on this forum dislike Ive's contributions, you haven't been reading enough posts! 😂😂😂

I've been here a long time and have read a lot of them, I just put it down to this type of cult mentality I suppose. These people forget Ive has styled many products that they love, yet he's an easy scapegoat for the things they dislike.

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 think I get why you'd think that, as without the necessary context this does seem to be an object of little value.

The context you may be missing is the whole 'Red Nose Day' activities & TV event in aid of the Comic Relief charity. It's been a pretty prominent part of UK culture for the last few decades.

Meh. A clown nose that doesn't honk. Once again, removal of useful features to the sake of thinness.😕

 

[jkev57]

I'm kind of surprised that Jony Ive decided to keep the nose port.

 

[CosmoCopus]

Best designer Apple ever had.

 

[darkslide29]

Can we get a promo video with the white background where he talks about forgetting everything we knew about noses, and starting from the ground up. Unapologetically honeycomb-y. It truly is the best nose yet.

 

[testcard]

It looks uncomfortable. Pinching style? Have to adjust breathing to speak.

The other foam you could just place on your nose.

I don’t think it’s meant as an everyday wear - to work or church for example. It’s only to be worn for comedic effect on the night of the telethon 😂

 

[techfreak23]

A clown nose designed by Jony Ive... 😂😂

 

[Joz3d]

Yes but where's the video of him moved to tears describing the design of it?

 

[coffeemilktea]

I'm so glad Sir Jony Ive proved that he was, indeed, down to clown.

 

[routine_analyst]

What a clown...

 

[Duncan-UK]

On Lenny I thought it looked … OOOOOOOOOOOOOKAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY

(Target audience reference that nobody will get!)

Katanga my friend!

Meh, OK - that's probably fair.

 

[osxhero]

This thing has been around for ages. He just allocated it for a nose. Incredible renders.

 

[koa]

Genius really. Folding nose will allow at least one extra clown to fit in the car!

 

[johnnytravels]

It feels like half of the comments here somehow seem to imply that this is an Apple product. It isn’t. It’s a 2.50 gimmick to raise money for charity.

 

[fredsherbet]

I’d love to see an Apple style product video for the nose; with Jony Ive voice over

 

[nebojsak]

Sitting here on the sofa with my "FatBook" Pro 16" on my lap and simply love it! Don't think I'd like it more if it was thinner.

True, but you're using it on your sofa. Try bringing it to a local cafe, and you'd be laughed at by Gen Z.

 

[e1me5]

Will it overheat under mild usage?

 

[mpetrides]

Couldn't find it on Amazon in the US. Is this a UK thing only?

Yup! I'm also in the US and tried to buy a pair directly from comicrelief.com but they only sell to/ship to the UK. Sigh.

 

[themacobserver]

I don't think there was any need for this product.
An Apple Magic Mouse or a 1st generation Apple Pencil in their charging states are way more comical.

 

[ErikGrim]

Awww. Sold out before I got mine.
