So from Steve Jobs era good stuff, to post-Jobs era trash?
Why purchase a design book that's only about decline in design?

I was assuming it's a joke until I clicked the link.

Does it include a side to side comparison of the elements "inspired" by Braun?

>“Designed by Apple in California” is available in two sizes and printed on specially milled, custom-dyed paper with gilded matte silver edges, using eight color separations and low-ghost ink. This linen-bound, hardcover volume was developed over an eight-year period. It is published by Apple.

I don't think Steve Jobs would have put out a nostalgic book about his own companies old products

>>57527375
Why not? I think he would have

>>57527385
because he was obsessed with making a point about how his company should always look forward and not reminisce about old stuff

muh innovation and all that

Agreed with you, if a company begins to glorify the products from the good old days, it's a sign that they don't know what do for the future.
This is some stuff IBM could have done, not Apple.

Design books are nice desu. This one costs about 4 times more than it should though. There's a really nice Sony one for all those walk/discman fetishists that's like £20 and I think a braun one from tashkent for £30. Don't see how apple can justify this personally.

Why?

Yeah that's the one. I picked it up for £25 including postage. If you wait it should pop up on an amazon seller for that. That's where I got it from. Unless it's stopped being printed in which case the price will just start creeping up.

Apple is just a greedy company.

I bet that book has a lot more pics than the Apple one.

I feel like such a fucking cuck, but I really want that book now. I love collecting industrial design/product design books.

Apple faggots will defend this (if they weren't in some line waiting to be the first to get ripped off).

>>57526217

You just don't understand Apple culture! This is a representation of Apples great contribution to technology and to society. this is a masterpiece that deserves to be praised. Its value will only increase once you plebes start to understand how terrific Apple is to this world.

Name another tech company that has had as significant an influential designs as Apple, because it's sure as hell not coming from the Google pajeet camp. Must be coincidence that every laptop is trying to be a Mac, every phone is trying to be an iPhone, and every tablet was trying to be an iPad before they finally gave up.

If you fags are too poor for that book, you could drop $150 on Paul Kunkel's Appledesign. That one is filled with prototypes and design concepts up to just before the iMac. Luckily I got mine when it was still in print for $40. I just hope the fucking silverfish haven't found it yet.

Nah bro, every multinational company is greedy

Apple is the only one that can pull these stunts because they managed to transform capitalism and consumerism to a religion

The problem is the guys (press, media, "professionals", online shills - I meant commentators and bloggers) who enable apple to pull stunts like that
