it's really not that bad, besides that it looks weird, and:

-the charge light is inside that case (???)
-there's no switch so you can choose when it is charging the phone or not

it is loving hideous aesthetically and the fact that it even exists is proof positive that apple hosed up the design of the iphone 6/7 completely. it's a grotesque monument to their failure and represents the exact moment i knew timb didn't get it.

steven p. jobs would have decimated the entire hardware division rather than allow something like that to be made.

yes, it was, because they hosed up the design.

that's why the battery case was made, they needed a lovely first party accessory to make up for deficiencies in the design of the product.

then timb doubled down on that strategy for every subsequent phone

this also illustrates my point. they made the design worse in multiple ways and in doing so also compromised on battery capacity

every phone since has that lumpy-rear end camera tumor and there's no reason for it, except that it works better with a case, a high-margin accessory that they also happen to sell

skinny jeans do not include room for calf or thigh muscles, that is their definitional quality. they are made for people with twig legs who spend their entire day on tour buses or whatever. if you made them with stretch fabric then a healthy person could fit into them but they wouldn’t have the proper straight-up-and-down skinny look because they‘d form-fit around the calves

perhaps you are thinking about regular cut jeans and just calling them skinny

might be related, but the US is the birthplace of these major tech companies, and losing its foothold for being a superpower. on top of that, some governments have replaced these technologies with their own which they can dictate, which sadly will probably become more and more of a thing because it's the future, and a lot of the world is in the state of dystopia just like bladerunner but less cool

well it's bloomberg, so you know what their focus is. the article posits that of several revenue growth strategies, the only one that isn't already a failure is raising iphone prices. and the entire company is built on iphone at this point

I just remembered Apple is supposed to release an amazing, new, "can't innovate my rear end" Mac Pro this year. Can't wait to see what dreadful gimmicks they attach to it in order to justify a $5k+ ASP and further demoralize employees.

it's weird because the mac pro unarguably peaked in 2012. like, we can shout back and forth about the correct size of a telephone, but don't nobody anywhere want the trashpro.

there's a very simple design that's 100% guaranteed to be the only thing anyone who needs a macpro wants, but somehow they're not looking to make it.

yes, but arguably because the people who used to want a mac pro stopped using a mac pro after 2015 or so. having a big ol box you can arbitrarily slap storage and pci-e add-in cards in is something people in audio and video production need, apple just hasn't made one in the better part of a decade.
