How can a company become so disconnected from the real world,
€500 for two books,
I know they are apple and shit and the paper is probably touch enabled with wood polymers but ffs...

Well one thing is hating on Apple, we all like it you know.
But folks, Windows 10 is an option and the OS is years ahead of Mac OSX. Only because its features do not work exactly as they do on OSX does not mean it doesn't have it or 3rd party alternative.
The bitching and unwillingness/incompetence of some users to use a stupid Win10 machine is just infuriating. It's a fucking computer with a dead easy UI that works like this since fucking 1995. Adobe, C4D, Maya and all other major apps we use have the exact same UI on top. Go back to a drawing board then if you can't use it.
Stupid mac audience.
- Cool story bro.********
- I'm going to take a proper look at Win10 next chance I get. I mean, not because of your shitty post, but I'm planning to.********

- I occasionally have to use Win10. It's ugly as fuck. The end.inteliboy
- I boot into W10 once in awhile. It's okay but will never feel as user friendly as OS X to me. Maybe it's the window and icon style or my lack of experience.monospaced
- I also haven't been forced to "work" in Windows since XP so I'm far behind. I'm seriously considering it for my next machine though.monospaced
- For me there's still an underlying stigma attached to Windows in regards to security and polish, but I'm open to explanations that would change my view.monospaced
- Remember when everything was brushed metal? *That* was ugly as fuck. And have they fixed the view options in OSX yet? After, what, 10 years?face_melter
- Here are two separate Finder windows, and look! All your icons are fucked in this one, but aligned in that one. Yeah!face_melter
- yeah, you can set different views for each window (very useful) as well as a default view for new onesmonospaced
- There's no switch to reset Finder windows to a default, so old folders remain all fucked with tiny gnat's fanny icons when you open them. Yeah!face_melter
- hmmm ... set your default folder and the style you want it, and everything should fall into place moving forward ... I never use icon view; columns onlymonospaced
- Cool story bro.

For me, the peak of apple designing for Pro users was this mac book pro:
easy to pop out/swap battery, HD, ram.
Especially critical if you spill a glass of water on your laptop. Within seconds you can get the battery out, removing risk of an electrical shorting. Salvage HD before water damage. Let it dry out for 48hrs, completely saving butt. Try that with the 2016 macbook pro...

I love how ridiculous the bezel on this looks nowadays. When I first got one it was a shrine of futuristic beauty.
- where do you put your sticky notes now though?craigatkinson
- haha, true that...********
- still looks good********
- I have one of these stored away somewhere.monospaced
- It had a hidden magnet to hold the remote control on the right side of the display. I loved those details apple thought of back then.monospaced
- I still prefer the white to the aluminium and black I must say********
- but that mouse...CyBrainX
- that mouse is for the last imac before this********

While the new entry-level 13-inch MacBook Pro with function keys has a removable SSD, the same cannot be said for the Touch Bar model.
- Really getting tired of Apple's shit now.face_melter
- It undoubtedly makes manufacture easier and better. I doubt whether their truly 'pro' users will forgive them if and when their computer implodes though...detritus

Lol that Apple book is really just a collection of apple product photos, and nothing more.

I recently realized Apple stopped making their Cinema/Thunderbolt displays. No more 17" MacBook Pros and no more big-ass displays. I guess designers need to start looking elsewhere for hardware.
To anybody who used to like the Cinema displays, is there another, comparable 27"+ monitor you like?
- iMac.ArmandoEstrada
- Dellcraigatkinson
- ^^section_014
- Apple partnered with LG to make a 4K and 5K USB-C based display: http://petapixel.com…evilpeacock
- I've got a 4k LG, it's pretty good. Cinema displays were just repackaged LG screens anyways...zarkonite
- Dell's got some good ones too, frankly screen technology is pretty much a cheap commodity by now.zarkonite
- There are some great sales on the Dell's now, too. I've got a up3214q that's pretty good. Matte screen is great (I never understood how pros could use glossy)formed
- U2715 here, it's great, and matte tooOBBTKN
- Yep, go for the dell one.mekk
- Thanks all!MondoMorphic

This is the Apple Thunderbolt Display Teardown by iFixit. Basically the screen has the exact same component as a Dell U2711 - and the part itself is an LG (LM270WQ1)
So other than the look it's all the same.
- screen is the same, but I think the apple model was also a thunderbolt hub and other shit, right? I never had onemonospaced
- Yeah there's all kinds of really useful inputs, but as far as the panel's image quality goes it's the same.zarkonite
- word ... when I build a machine I'll probably get one of themmonospaced

can only imagine the budget for this...

who cleaned the streets after this?sted - "We destroy even our own ideas"
– Apple 2016Ianbolton - Lol that touch bar. I love how they promote it as if it's an amazing feature. Fucking retarded gimmicky bullshit.********
- No one likes that stupid piece of shit touchbar. No one. I mean like 3 people. But fuck them.section_014
- Unless the light bulbs were CGI, what a joke. Total waste of bulbs, massive eco cost. Good one apple.fruitsalad
- all so a finger could swipe across your touch bar and jog through a video clip of a bulb exploding. right. that's pro.fruitsalad
- the decline is now in full swing - a few of us noticed it a good while ago but we were met with hostility only yurimon has faced on this site :)fadein11
- if you predict downfall on every single one of their product launches, then it's bound to come true at some point in time... this decade or next.inteliboy

Surface Studio promo video had a clip of some coloured powder exploding:

- these guys have good products, their film grain is dope but now its irrelevantmoldero
- I watched the whole thing, Nick is a pretty typical Mac fan where he overlooks all the flaws of the mac and fears windows for no factual reason.zarkonite
- He fears what he doesn't understand. I'm in his position completely but I'm wiling to switch anyway.CyBrainX
- Ok, but he makes claims about what windows can and cannot do and says that macs "just work"... which we can all agree is ridiculous.zarkonite
- Good luck with your switch, do ask if you have any questions. I've use both platforms for decades.zarkonite

member berries for $300
- no 1984 mac? what a jiphotroddy
- what fucking idiot would buy a $300 photo book of Apple products besides fanboys?utopian
- A Vlogger who makes a living posting videos for angry pundits. 1300000 people watched that clip already, it paid for the book many times over.raf
- book had some much potential. oh well. this video confirmed the non purchase for me.
iSight-- that was a cute thing tbh lol...Squiddy - okayokay just put aside that he is a classic iPoser and look at this thing for what it is:
expensive picture book nothing more.sted - it's an industrial design book. just like a braun, or sony, or vintage watches book... or boats, cars... It's not that hard to grasp.inteliboy

Since getting the iPhone 7 (previously had a 6) I have to say that the force touch feature is among the most useless and frustrating Apple has added to iOS ever. Typing and trying to tap into text to edit, delete, etc. is so impossible most of the time.
Anyone else completely hate it?
- one can turn it off, yes?e-wo
- Other than it making it a bit harder to get into 'wiggle mode', I've had no issues with it. Positive addition for me.Nathan_Adams

Jony Ive's much-hyped Christmas tree is underwhelming.
"There are few things more pure and beautiful than nature, so that was our starting point, layering various iterations of organic forms with technology,"
"Our aim was to create an all-enveloping magical experience that celebrates our enormous respect for tradition while recognizing our excitement about the future and things to come."
Because nothing says excitement about the future like a dark, unlit Christmas tree.
Sir Jony Ive
- the entrance part you didn't include, which has weather and lighting effects. but no, it's Apple related, and must be shat on.inteliboy
- There are few things more pure and beautiful than nature, so we killed a fucking massive tree and a few small ones, and projected pictures of live ones on them.craigatkinson

- * airport expressSquiddy
- I have four of the old Airport Expresses. I use them as Airplay Basestations that hook into my house soundsystem. Works rad.noneck
- I never understood why these exist. You need a network to let them create their own exclusive one Instead of having proper wifi in their productsmekk
- I thought they were just wifi hotspot things for people with big homesinteliboy
- They work like regular wifi.monospaced
- mekk must be using that special wifi that penetrates brick walls perfectly and doesn't degrade over distance.face_melter
- face_melter I use cables but If I needed a large wifi area I would use repeaters not a device that spawns its own network apart from mine.mekk
- These should have never existed, but you know, fanboys.section_014
- noneck - why would you ever need 4 airports? is your wifi shit? you live in a castle? bizarre.fadein11
- They are good routers, Apple or not. Also fantastic for AirPlay audio.
Even if routers don't earn them much, they build the Apple ecosystem.raf
