The iLunch has rounded corners, an innovative cooling system, and magnets instead of a latch. You can password-protect it so no one can steal your lunch. If you lose it, or someone steals it, you can find it with iCloud. There is no optical drive, of course, and it is very, very thin.
You can take a different pizza to lunch every day! And your beverage fits nicely in the accompanying iDrink.
By Tuesday, Samsung's salesmen will be selling knock-offs from their trench coats in alleyways. Be sure to check out their Nolex watches while you are there.
And of course it'll be hailed as the first lunchbox in existence.
Sounds like a reasonable stream of thinking - choosing language (and names) carefully to avoid design bias. Yet, in spite of this outside-the-lunchbox thinking, there is already official design bias at Apple. It's their design language. In the mid 80s to early 90s, this language, known as Snow White (developed by Esslinger at Frog Design), was in fact spelled out in their "SOPs". It formed the foundation of products from the late generation Apple IIs to 2nd and 3rd gen Macs, and was also reflected in the Mac OS UI.
With Jobs's return and Ive's ascension, Snow White has clearly been replaced by the Dieter Braun inspired minimalist approach we see today. I wonder it too is formally documented. Regardless, I'd argue that despite Ive's interesting thinking about how naming might influence design, Apple's designers already have a greater influence in place.
"What we do, you see, is we take the ninth letter of the Arabic alphabet--the letter i--we convert it to lowercase, and then we add some catchy noun after it. What we will never do is add a space between the letter i and the catchy noun. Never. It's who we are."

This post makes no sense. I have no idea what your point is.
It's amazing how people stopped mocking the name "iPad". The first time the name was heard, everyone was making fun of it. Now it's a commonplace word.
Only a few really juvenile, mostly male, people made fun of it actually.
The (faint, remote, and mostly imagined), connection with menstruation was more than some men could handle.
It made them nervous and the antidote to nerves is ... humour.
Therefore, endless lame "pad" jokes from this group.
I think you mean "naturally selected." Because all the woman with thorns down there would never produce offspring and pass on their thorny genetic material.:-P
If it comes with a reusable icepack it will last longer than any other icepack on the market but people will still claim they need to refreeze it twice a day.
Sammy just announced the Samsung Galaxy Box. It's has > 1700 cubic inches of volume, a retractable set of chopstick. It's also made with HD plastic. it also comes with "gas station sushi."

That would lead to folded-over circular design?

There you go, putting yourself into a box again.
"Folded over SQUARE design, allowing for blah-de-blah more surface area, which allows us to fit even more Americanized Mexican goodness therein."

Actually, a circle is simply a rounded square, with maximum radius at each corner.

Designed for convenient one-handed operation.

I thought a circle was a symmetrical polygon with an infinite numbers of sides. /s
And dots are zero length lines.
