A fun read, some things you might not know. My favorite:
How the clock app icon is actually the correct time. But more importantly that the second hand is accurate. It’s actually really useful to have a place to see the seconds.
If you’ve never noticed this before, find the Clock app on your iPhone. Yup, that second hand is live, a red line scooting around the dial.
But even better, make your way over to the app icon blob on your Apple Watch. The clock app icon in that blob also features a live second hand.
Details!
And yet, somehow, the Clock app has no seconds display anywhere in it.
You don’t need seconds when you’re in the app! Only when you’re out of the app!
One of my all-time favorite quotes from Ludwig Mies van der Rohe: “God is in the details.”
Apple’s culture and products are built on such insights and wisdom.
