"felt like the FUTURE?"
No doubt.
iPhone 4.
Not just a touch screen , but it was sleek and sexy. I was proud to work for @Apple when that came out. It fit the hand, the chamfered edges and their tolerances felt soft and sleek, the proportions were familiar , it gripped like a handshake.
Approachable but undeniably special.
They need to bring back that 115mmX60mmX10mm stainless banded stepped chassis.
Now with an 129mm edge to edge display , USBC , stainless or titanium bands , single camera- no bump , light up logo , swappable designer leather backs via ultra tight tolerance MagSafe.
Thick.
Professional , not a scrolling toy.
Then make a similar 120mmX180mmX10mm iPad Mini Pro , as a scrolling toy.
They have lost the art of proportions when @JonyIve_ left with his stack former Braun designer, @DieterRams drawings.
Get them in a room for coffee in a mid century modern building and give the notes to Apple.
Better yet, @X can make it.
@0xWANXIAO@Apple For the time , it was great glass but prone to break and hard to fix.
Todays glass should not be an issue. Plus I like the idea of a sexy leather back.
