In most people’s vocabularies, design means veneer. It’s interior decorating. It’s the fabric of the curtains and the sofa. But to me, nothing could be further from the meaning of design. Design is the fundamental soul of a man-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service.
Steve Jobs, speaking in 2000. -

You’re going to see a lot of press and blogs about how Apple has lost its way, how they have squandered the last 18 months with a “minor” refresh. But I’m pretty sure Apple could [not] care less. They made the phone that they think people will love, and stuck with an industrial design that is destined to become iconic, if it hasn’t already. Apple made the phone that people want, not the phone that the pundits want.
