Special - Why Apple?
|
|
|
|
|
Why are you an Apple user?
|
|
|
|
|
With all the speculation about the future of Apple and longevity of the products going forward without Steve at the helm, I wanted to take a different perspective.
|
|
|
|
|
Can we gain a deeper perspective on Apple and it's future by looking inward and to it's past?
|
|
|
|
|
I asked simple question to 11 Apple journalists, podcasters, creative professionals, and fans. "Why are you an Apple User?"
|
|
|
|
|
The answers are varied but in them you can see the common elements, parts, and threads that Steve has carefully woven into the fabric of Apple and show why we as fans can rest assured in the longevity of Apple and his legacy.

Why I'm an Apple user
|
|
|
|
|
Design.
|
|
|
|
|
When I started it was a tool that was the best for my Graphic Design work. I used PageMaker, Illustrator, Photoshop, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
An appreciation for the design of the object itself with the Bondi iMac, B&W G3, White iBook, iPod, Mac Mini
|
|
|
|
|
An appreciation of the design of experience and ease of use that came later, especially with the iOS devices.
|
|
|
|
|
What's interesting is that all of these things when I think about it have always been there at the core of Apple, but they manifest and reveal themselves at different times and for different reasons, but ultimately why I'm an Apple fanatic.
|
|
|
|
|
The strange thing is I don't understand why everyone isn't insisting on being a fanatic? Wanting and insisting that technology be made in ways that enhance and improve our ability to be creative and get work done without detracting from the process should be thought of a "crazy" or "zealotry". It should be expected.
|
|
|
|
|
This is what Apple gets and why I think the competition is destined to always copy, mimic, and follow, but never fully understand.
