And hipster trash wonder why they are seen as a joke for supporting apple.
That could actually be really interesting (still, over priced) if it had text about each product inside of it.
[QUOTE=Pascall;51375304]I would be a lot more interested in this if it actually had text along with it. Like. I don't know. History behind each product. Specs. Something like that.[/QUOTE] Explanations of design choices for example. That would have been great.
The pretentiousness of this product only leads me to believe that they'd sell Steve Job's farts for $1500 a bottle if they could.
I think this is aimed towards design professional and enthusiasts, not the general Apple consumer. The price is actually reasonable for this type of book and target audience.
iBook. This was bound to happen.
This is from a company that waited until Steve Jobs died so they could overrule their graphic designer who designs the icons for their iPods/iPads/iPhones. If they were petty about a bunch of fucking icons, they would be petty about other things.
[QUOTE]This linen-bound, hardcover volume was developed over an eight-year period. [/QUOTE] 8 years to make no text wow fuck off like seriously, there are likely books people sell for 99% less of the cost with way more actual effort put into them this entire book is spitting in the face of fanboys and S. J. himself. I'm mad FOR apple fans, and I use MS
I think it'd be an interesting flip through but holy shit $300 they're fucking loony
[QUOTE=Seibitsu;51375415]iBook. This was bound to happen.[/QUOTE] That was an actual line of laptops. The G4 one was pretty good. If I didn't managed to break mine I'd still use it for emulators. I also got it used for way less than this fucking book

I regret typing this on an iPad, this piece of fucking shit is laggy af.

I know how sometimes people complain that there's an Apple hate bandwagon but come on, with the iPhone 7 and this, they're just going full retard, this deserves to be laughed at.
Also, the rule of first works here too. Gonna wait for second one next year :v:
:unimpressed:
What's gonna be next? A blue-ray with a 1 hour long video of apple products over a white background, no music, no sound, sold at 700$?
It's literally just the marketing images that they have no use for anymore. Wow. Is this real life?

[QUOTE=LaughingStock;51375044]Probably not bad for hard cover high quality full color pages. I pay more for shitty text books.[/QUOTE] What single textbook costs that much and is less worth the Apple book?
what is the point if it's just pictures? No history of the products or anything? do you know how many artbooks of movies and games I care about I can buy with $200?
I'm genuinely starting to think apple are really trying to feed the whales that follow them endlessly. At this point, I'm probably expecting them to cut off all methods of transferring data from IOS to Android/Windows Phone and bulk up the price. Look, I like apple but this is becoming insane. Who would pay 300$ for a book with no text and only pictures that describes the history of apple, At best that would be 30 or 25$.
[QUOTE=gokiyono;51375638]What single textbook costs that much?[/QUOTE] if it was a hyper sought after limited edition that has a lot of history I could see this but this isn't a textbook and isn't limited edition. It's a picture book.
[QUOTE=gokiyono;51375638]What single textbook costs that much?[/QUOTE] I have a chemistry textbook that was $300. Had to be bought new too because it has one of those online access code things.
[QUOTE=F.X Clampazzo;51375696]I have a chemistry textbook that was $300. Had to be bought new too because it has one of those online access code things.[/QUOTE] probably overpriced by the college/school itself I imagine
[QUOTE=gokiyono;51375638]What single textbook costs that much?[/QUOTE] Plenty of engineering, law and medicine textbooks are in the 300$ price range. People typically pirate or buy them second-hand though.

[QUOTE]While this is a design book, it is not about the design team, the creative process, or product development. It is an objective representation of our work that, ironically, describes who we are. It describes how we work, our values, our preoccupations, and our goals. We have always hoped to be defined by what we do rather than by what we say.[/QUOTE] Fuck you too, Jonny Ive
I wonder if it has pictures of the suicide nets at foxxconn designed because workers would keep throwing themselves to their deaths or images of people working more than 80 hours a week to maintain some dank profit margins [QUOTE=DogGunn;51375630][media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TnEYLHH4YE[/media][/QUOTE] Oh, is this the CGPgrey face reveal? Must be
