So I was watching it again the other night, great documentary, great editing, I liked it even more than the first time I saw it..If you remember, there is a guy with a stache, talking about people feeling that are not smart to figure out how something works, and that sort of thing is usually perceived as user error, when in fact we should consider it a "designer error" right?
another designer said something like "if we take care of the extreme situations, then the average user's problem will be solved"
and then, the guy at apple, talks about their thoughts on their process as (arguably, maybe, not the point) the company that shows the best sense for design at the moment.
why is it that they chose those materials for the iphone if we are constantly worried about it getting scratches/ finger prints/ smudges, buying cases for it and all sorts of accessories to improve (also arguably) the very thing that we carry everywhere we go?
(yes, everywhere, see photo)
dont get me wrong, for me is the probably the best tech-object I own, and I love it so much that I'm willing to overlook the fact that it fails to deliver the very task it was named after, since it has the worst reception of any phone I've ever owned.
Just a thought... feel free to discuss points without insulting
- I don't think that smudges and scratches are considered an "extreme situation" though.Point5
- The product does what it is supposed to do on it's end (no thanks to AT&T and their fails)Point5
- plus, it's opened the door to a whole new market of unnecessary products like iPhone Snuggies n shit.Point5
- sucks for Americans with AT&T. In UK o2 have the best coverage of anyone, even up in the highlands!gjd
- technically, it does not do what it supposed to do, lets be honest here.Meeklo
- in fact, it does pretty much ANYTHING except working as a phoneMeeklo
