industrial design projects take a long time and so does building a practice from scratch even when you're the world's most famous designer, I'd guess we won't see many non apple products out of them for a couple years

waiting if you can is clearly best option, in 3 months you’ll have new one regardless and you’ll be happy then. and until then be zen and learn patience

i'm so confused by red delicious. how does the objectively least pleasant variety of a fruit become the dominant default one?

tldr: they were decent when first developed in the 1870s, a time when people bought their fruit directly from the farm and ate it immediately

they've been bred to be as red as possible at the expense of everything else and nowadays for them to taste any good at all you have to leave them on the tree an extremely long time (which farmers won't do) and then eat it the second you pick it (which modern grocery logistics doesn't allow)

water core is a defect in apples

they are saying that to make it edible, you have to leave it on the tree until it is rotting

not really

so apple genetics are such that a daughter apple is absolutely nothing like either parent. every fuji apple is a clone of the first fuji apple tree, every pink lady is a clone, etc. when apples naturally breed 99% of the time you get an inedible apple, which is why new edible apple cultivars are so valuable (you have to keep trying at random until you get lucky and find one that tastes good). you can still make alcohol out of these inedible apples. and yes, jonny appleseed spread lots and lots of inedible apples across the land

it’s interesting to note a lot of food around like jam and beer are holdovers from an age where food preservation was essential.. and calories weren’t so easy to come by. by and large a lot of these foods shouldn’t be consumed these days but then again they taste good and nothing really matters anyway
