As a typical post-industrial type designer, I've given up the need to buy new stuff. This MacBook Retina I'm writing this post on is Mid 2012, so new product "reviews" are pretty rare here. However, due to extensive casing damage on my iPhone 6+, I
After all the moaning and groaning, who really knows why? Except probably Apple. Perhaps history can tell us why by taking a look at what Steve Jobs wrote two months after the iPhone debuted in 2007.
John Gruber, from Daring Fireball, tells it like it is. For example, his thought on people wishing for larger 4-inch iPhone screens:

In the last few months most of you would have read the endless press about Apple’s multiple lawsuits filed against their competitors claiming that they are stealing their intellectual property. Not only that, countless of
The chaps from Nowhere Else has graciously compiled all the iPhone 5 rumors in one place for easy viewing, and added a slick infographic to boot! They have done all the work, for the benefit of time strapped people like myself, from hunting
2 Sugars is a wonderful little iPhone app by visual communications designer Gareth Hughes. It is perfect for when you are tasked to do that dreaded coffee run for the entire office. Great App for interns
Christmas comes early for all Design Sojourn readers! It is indeed the season of giving, but more on that
Moleskine has released a range of hybrid tools which are essentially covers for the iPad (Tablet Cover) and iPhone (Smartphone Cover). They all come with standard notebooks or
You probably would have read a very rare Jonathan Ive interview on Core 77 by now. If you have not, do check it out? I would say a lot of the interview was
Peter Bregman shares why he returned his iPad:
The brilliance of the iPad is that it's the anytime-anywhere computer. On the subway. In the hall waiting for the elevator. In a car on the way to the airport. Any free moment becomes a potential iPad moment.
The
In our world of technology influenced and managed solutions, it is nice to see the sensitivity and handiwork of a craftsman come back into the fold.
Awesome Engadget live blog covering an Interview with Steve Jobs at D8. It just ended. I found this little nugget very interesting: Steve: And same thing on the tablet. I remember telling you I thought handwriting was the slowest input method ever. We re-imagined
Gizmodo, in probably their scoop of the year, has written an interesting industrial design analysis of Apple's supposed iPhone generation 4 prototype that some poor Apple employee (probably now fired) left behind.
Very fun concept iPhone App for Design Managers by Lunchbreath.

I'm sure many of us "poo-pooed" Apple's first generation iPhone as sorely lacking in the technology department. However, no one can doubt the buzz the impending launch of the iPhone OS version 3.0 has created. On the flip side, if we can look
What started with a number of Plurks and Twitter messages, snowballed into what you see above. I now have in my hands a very tasty E71 Steel White which I shamelessly lined up next to my equally tasty white iPhone 16GB! Alright I know you want details.
Check out this amazing iPhone application, called Ocarina, that has currently got all of us in stitches or in awe! I have come across Guitar and Drum applications or simulations for the iPhone, but this has to take the cake! To get it to work,
Fellow Designer (FD): So you bought the iPhone? Me: Yeah. FD: So how do u find it? Me: I don't really like it. FD: Why! Me: Well it's
Claire Beale is one of the lucky few that has been granted a rare interview with Jonathan Ive, who, unless you have been under a rock in the past decade, is Apple's senior vice-president of Industrial Design. You know, that guy responsible for the
The only other thing that is as tiring as News of Paris Hilton going to jail is the mega-over-hype of Apple's iPhone. As usual I go a hunting and after reading most reviews there are to find. I'm now convinced that the iPhone
