Henry Ford Gives Black Model T Custom Paint Job.
tl;dr - who cares. It's for charity.
There is nothing to critique here. This is not the FUD hate thread you're looking for. Move along.
Henry Ford Gives Black Model T Custom Paint Job.
What's with the pretentious "Jony Ive Designs...." headline?
He painted a trash can Mac Pro red. Nothing more.
And it's not a stroke of design genius to do nothing more than paint a "Product (Red)" item red.

Yeah, I'm not really bothered one way or another, and I do think the red Mac Pro does have a nice style thing going for it. But my contract states I have to post in every Apple-positive thread around here. These forums aren't gonna astroturf themselves, you know.
That is a sweet looking machine. Now make an iPhone in that deep of a red and I'm sold.
the Mac Pro value is listed at $40,000 to $60,000,
best of all... we can use it as a tax write-off since it's for charity.
Am I the only one who thinks this is ugly as ****?
Er, so you don't think he was involved in designing the Mac Pro? Seem to me this is a custom version of something he was part of designing. But hey, if he wasn't involved then all the people complaining about it will have to find some one else to blame.![]()
That is red hot. (see what I did there?)

Those are two completely separate topics. I never said he didn't have a part in designing the Mac Pro in itself. I actually don't know whether he did, or did not.
But the topic is the RED product. And unless I missed something, it's just a Mac Pro with red paint/color.
They give because they pretend to care, but in fact the amount they give is so low and needs so high it basicly comes to nothing.
While apple actually can spend to give a whole lot more. 100 million on lawsuits, tens of millions on lobbyists or the tens of billions it keeps overseas to not pay taxes on it.
It all screams profit making machine, so this paltry charity remains that.

Almost as ugly as iOS7.
WTF?!!! It's same machine but in red... how is that an exclusive Jonny Ive design?! Product (RED) is taking an existing product but having it in red and charging more for charity, I am really struggling to see what input Jonny Ive has made (if any!), other than agreeing to have his name associated with it.
I don't disagree with the cause it is supporting it... but it is complete b*llocks otherwise!
