I kind of feel like Apple's design philosophy is off. It's not like the Oxo brand of having tools that are easy to use.
- I still can't hold my iPhone 6 without it slipping out of my hand (and I even have a case)
- My Macbook Pro Unibody is very sleek but it just slides off my lap because the bottom surface is so smooth.
- Off-boarding useful connections like USB, HDMI, DisplayPort etc meaning you have to purchase and carry around a bunch of dongles for whatever tiny saving they get from the battery / footprint.
- The new Macbooks are, as always choosing sleekness over just making a laptop that is more powerful than they've made over the last 4 years.
- People are complaining about the trackpad in the new MBP not having space to rest their wrists.
etc etc
They seem to just be optimizing for design's sake and not really considering the use case of what people use the computers for. It's starting to be a great little sleek computer for an executive to put in their carry-on and less like a strong office computer that can do hard work (for me it's software engineering) and be good enough to USE ALL DAY.
