Jesus Christ it's real.

>Jesus Christ it's real.
I literally thought the same thing when I saw it

>that typeface and positioning
This is a knock off right?

i actually dont even defend this, even though i dont have a mac i only have a iphone4 i got for Christmas i really think this is really retarded, you can just find this shit on google images

lol no this is a real fucking thing

apple.com/designed-by-apple

I'm going fucking insane, it's like they centered it that way because of the descenders from 'y' 'p' 'g' instead of doing it optically correct. How is this even fucking possible from a company like Apple? Any fucking retard can see it's lifted too high clearly.

>not even technigger will defend it

It will just be outdated next year

Don't like it? Don't buy it.

Buy this one instead.

Just wait till a scanned pdf version gets uploaded

im 18 got it when i was 16

Who gifted you iPhone 4 as a gift ?

>The images cannot be altered or modified in any way, in whole or in part, that disparages Apple.
Kek

Waiting for high res scans of the TiBook and 1st gen G4 tower pages so i can use them as shitty wallpapers

Scans when?

I don't know why you guys are hating on the new apple coffee table book. I am a double major in art & theory of people & technology and they're good references honestly. I'm studying product design and I collect art books from designers I love. A lot of those product shots aren't readily available online, so it's tough to draw inspiration from there. $330 to have a copy of all of Apple's designs at my fingertips? Beautiful!!!!!!

Glad to know I'm not the only one who thought that positioning was garbage

Like I get you want to be a design company also but that means you don't get a pass for fucking up Design 101 shit like this.

>being poor

>I don't understand the concept of high quality printing
>I don't understand that just producing the book is over $200
>I get mad at everything I don't understand because I'm a big old manchild

fucking retard

Thank you for proving me right

Don't forget to cup the mac balls ;)

I'll probably just pay someone to do that

I own many Apple products, but I have no interest in this book. That being said I'm not ignorant enough that I can't recognize that the book is worth its value and is a good product for the niche market it is aimed at (not the average iphone or mbp user)

>costs $200 to produce
>costs $300 to buy

What did they mean by this

It's not supporting apple.

This book is no different than any other several hundred dollar coffee table design picture book.

The difference is that Apple is a fucking tech company, so they're already up their own ass for tooting the design horn.

But then, they self-compiled and published this shit. As if they were the only ones worthy of it.

THAT is where the real fart sniffing horseshit comes in. They think they are better than every other company that has one of these books made.

The printing process is at least $200 on its own. The distributors need to be paid, the people that designed the book need to be paid, the shippers need to be paid, tons of people need to be paid, and maybe they actually want to make some money from it as well?

>Apple puts a lot of focus on the design of their products
>how dare they use those same people to design a book of said products

Are you seriously unable to understand why they would do this? They have a great design team, why the hell would they hand it over to an outside team?

No distributors, exclusive to Apple.com
Designers have salaries
Shipping costs extra

Next

are they running out of shit to copy

Buy this instead. It's only $65 on Amazon and Sapper is a much better designer than Ive.

Instead of bitching about the actual price, let's go by contents

How many things do you think are in there that Apple didn't make originally but instead stole/copied/slappedthelogoon

Because if they're going to make a book if apple designed products and hey throw in something like touchscreens I'm going to laugh my fucking ass off

Here are some actual images from the book. It looks like a nice book for the rich design-fags that will buy it.

YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP

>Specially milled German paper

Yeah they should have just used some printer paper from Office Depot. Fucking idiot.

that would have been better honestly

Nice shitpost, retard.

If I hate someone, and I want to give him a gift to express my feelings to him/her, I always take the iPhone. If the person didn't know I hated her, then she knows.

they actually had to buy a lot of the old products for the photos because steve jobs had thrown away all the old shit when he came back as CEO

Magical. Intuitive. Ecosystem. Changes everything again. Courage.

i didn't notice he was holding the newspaper upside down the first time.

Or mactracker

Weird, I too thought it was real when I saw it.

What a depraved piece of shit you are. Go back to the hole you came from.

woah..... just woah

and its not only about old computers
which wouldnt be bad in case of IBM

>that parody intro

Thanks based Linus.

>dat color
>dat clean street
>dat sexy old hardware

Perfect picture to be quite frank with you my related person.

And Mona Lisa costs several million dollars. What's your point exactly?

Economics 101 : The cost of a product is determined by how much people are willing to pay for it.

I thought it was a meme...

>The cost of a product is determined by how much people are willing to pay for it.

Great.

But in here, we're discussing its worth. We're consumers and users, not shareholders.

Which is something applefags don't get, they get the feeling they make money or are contributing to something whenever they buy an apple product.

Ok, let's face it people, it probably has extensive explanations of the design choices and why they chose to-
Well fuck

You got to be fucking kidding.... 200 FUCKING DOLLARS FOR A BOOK FULL OF FUCKING PICTURES! GOD DAMMIT FUCK ME WITH A RUSTY HOOK.
Apple and there courage, fuck them.

How can you compare the Mona Lisa to a dumb apple book? Granted the book isn't a stupid Idea but for that much money? Why would someone buy that?

Fashion books cost >$500 for the same amount of content. 450 pages of high quality colored photos is not cheap to produce.

I'm thinking of purchasing this if I have some money to spare.

Not to mention, most pages are just blank. It's not like it requires a lot of ink to print or anything.

People pay hundreds of dollars for pictures of nude women in magazines.

This is porn equivalent for nerds. Why can't you resentful faggots realize this simple truth?

I had a friend that said and I quote "I would buy that". Now he is not my friend anymore , that's why I'm in Sup Forums

Any chance of a PDF scan of one? This would be neat to have though $200 is alot to ask for some book with no purpose other than pictures

Foreal man, Apple is reaching a new level of being jews. I hopw they go out of business.

>People pay hundreds of dollars for pictures of nude women in magazines.

Taiwanese dollars?

Of course there will.

What's next? you'll go to a restaurant and you'll have to pay $100 to see the menu?
this shit is just a catalog, and you get that for free in any other self respected company.

It's a bunch of stock pictures they had lying around for PR purposes repurposed as an art book. You're literally buying advertisements. Only a macfag would be pretentious enough to buy this.

Is there a pic of this in there?

Not to mention, Apple has like what, 6 major products?

I've always thought that too few people really appreciate just how ugly the apple watch is. That weird black curved bezel and the bloatyness of it.
