As far as I understand it nobody’s even buying the iPhone air. It’s obviously a cheap version of the product which should be great if it also had a cheaper price, but since it costs almost as much as the normal iPhone no one can see the point.
ohhh, so Microsoft is bad at design, I was trying to pinpoint exactly what was so fucked up with their shit
because seriously how the fuck does nothing Microsoft just work anymore
even notepad was enshittified, I just learned there’s fucking copilot in notepad. I’m trying to hold out on Win10 at work, but they’re also making OneDrive trigger BSODs a few times a day now…
TBF Microsoft also don’t know how to make things look and feel right. For ages, their primary UI design tools were a toolbar crammed with buttons end to end, a vertical list crammed with items, and a table crammed with items row by row — culminating in Windows 8’s tiles. MS didn’t understand that people need spatial organization, spacing and margins, and only recently started separating toolbar buttons with white space in their apps.
Meanwhile principles of grouping are any designer’s most basic tools. One could make good design with sticks and mud if they follow the principles.
It’s a Steve Jobs quote:
“Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.”
Damn. Truly a visionary I must say. Nobody ever thought to think of a design in terms of how something works before
No but seriously though, I don’t really get this quote. Isn’t that… obvious?
For Apple? No, it isn’t. Which is why we got the incredible air phone or whatever that shit was.
They make quality stuff, but it’s always been about vanity. Drives me nuts how much some people are religious about their shit.
Their shit like iPad and macbook, for creative work. There are no efficient alternatives.
That’s just wrong.
I hope you have something better than an android tablet paired with windows laptop for that job.
