Not sure if serious or bait. If the latter, I'm responding, so good job.

The Cube was hilariously bad design. If you put anything over the vent on the top for over 3 seconds, the thing would overheat and shut down.

It's a tiny fucking cube that sits on your desk. What do you so desperately need to place on top of it instead of somewhere like (getting a bit experimental here) the desk itself?
>>
>>51785882

Serious?!

The "cover" as in battery case is literally the ugliest thing to come out of Apple in over 30 years.
>>
You Android faggots are just jelly of our success. Way to make a mountain out of a haystack.
>>
>>51785903

The point isn't really that you can't cover the vent and use it like a normal PC. It's more that its thermal design was such that if the vent was blocked for 3 seconds, it would overheat.

Anything consumer computer that overheats because it doesn't get 3 seconds of airflow is not well designed.

You windows and linux losers really don't get it, do you?

Us Apple users have WON the computing war, we have the best computers and best hardware on the planet.

I know it sucks that you can't afford it, but you've been trying to deny it for so many years and it's honestly time that you just called it a day and gave up. Everyone knows that Apple has won, you've made yourselves look so stupid over the years that you really are as low as you can get right now.

Rock bottom.

That is because it's a piece of art. You are not supposed to block the vents you uncultured piece of shit. It's great design, by making it shut down if the vent is blocked then it means that the user will be forced to present it in a open uncluttered space like it's supposed to

Fucking hell, is being able to cover the cooling vents of a computer for longer than 3 seconds a human right or something?
Why are people taking it to heart so much that a computer that uses convection cooling needs its cooling vents uncovered?
Also
>It shuts down after 3 seconds to prevent overheating
>Applel should let me decide whether I want my $1000+ computer to get destroyed, that's true freedom and power! Just look at GNU/Linux!
You're all scraping the bottom of the barrel tbqh.

>Jony Ive started smoking Crack
No, what happened is that Steve Jobs died. Look at Macs, we haven't seen a truly original design since the 2010 MacBook Air, while in the 2000s every two or three years we had new, original designs. Same with iPads. The Watch is probably the ugliest, thicker smartwatch out there.

Steve Jobs was the curator, the guy that said: "this is too ugly, fix it or we aren't going to release it". Or the one that saw the prototypes and picked the best one. Jony Ive has talent but without someone like SJ advising him I think he's not the same.

Everything went wrong when apple stopped plagiarizing braun's designs and tried to do it themselves. The only thing apple has ever been good at is stealing someone else's product and slapping a logo on it. Which makes sense because their logo is used fruit and their products are everyone's leftovers.
>>
>>51786114

Agree, I think Cook just lets Ive release whatever the fuck he wants, and is too weak/lacks the eye for detail to pick a nice design.

Hey Anon. Android outsells your Apples about 10:1 - both of them together. Linux won.

PS: It also runs maybe the absolute majority of the internet's servers and many infrastructure nodes and likely hosts most data by now.

Steve's dead so no one wants to do anything that is actually new for a change as that costs money. Not that's an issue anyways since their profit gains has skyrocketed now we don't have tiny iPhone. Money speaks louder than innovation it seems

Anon, you'll never guess where the beuatiful, expensive iPhones are made.

Mostly it's Hon Hai (Foxconn) in China (plus Quanta in China and so on), same as Xiaomi and the like.

kekbook logo wasn't a separate led.

please don't tell me you use your phone (& laptop) to showboat when you leave the house, thats just sad...
what exactly makes you look better while displaying the phone you have, is it the half eaten fruit logo or the fact that no one around you cares about which device you permanently look down at when around others instead of making small talk?

please do stay mad over which overpriced variant of some plastic encased sand, copper and tin cuboid people use exclusively as aids in tasks
