The Jony Ive computer Apple didn’t include in its monograph

fastcodesign:

Perhaps you heard. A few weeks ago, Apple released a book called Designed by Apple in California: a $300 hardcover containing 450 photos of Apple products, chronicling almost 20 years of Apple’s industrial design—and specifically, Jony Ive’s Apple industrial design.

But I also thought where the book started was interesting: 1998’s candy-colored iMac G3, the first Mac released after Steve Jobs came to Apple. This is an important computer, true. But it’s not the first computer Jony Ive designed for Apple. Nor is it his most forward-looking.

It’s understandable the reasons behind the decision but it certainly can be argued it should have been included.
