I'm not sure this award is that meaningful. Browsing the iF webpage of other winners (gold and others), most of the designs aren't even actual products. Many are just concept sketches. There was no shortage of bending phones, bending displays, folding electronics that will never make it past Photoshop. Yet the gold design was awarded.
Are they? Sales numbers can refer to profits, not just unit sales. At the end of the day it's about the profit, not the number of units you push or Android activation numbers would Apple's goal, too.
Off Topic: If the ?Watch is popular, do you think it would warrant an actual gold casing on the iPhone or iPad? Is the casing thick enough to have an 18-kt gold casing that is as thin and sturdy as the aluminium casing?
Shouldn't Car and Driver be giving the Apple iCar an award soon?
We almost know that it might possibly become a reality.
And

Indeed.
Giving a 'design' award to the Apple Watch weeks before it’s even been released or reviewed is dodgy. It reeks of backroom deals, smacks of desperation, and ultimately devalues both the award and Apple's product.
Much better to be awarded such a thing a year or three after its release.
reminds me of the old joke 'what do you tell a woman with 2 black eyes? Nothing she's been told twice already'
We're both horrible people for making light of domestic abuse.
Although, I could argue that the girl depicted could be an MMA fighter, and to suggest that to say it's not possible means you're a misogynist. Your joke seems to have no other meaning than domestic violence against women.

I'm sure that women are very grateful that most of them aren't beaten these days.
I'm sure I would be thankful, were I the fairer sex.

I had an older man tell me one time "on the first night of your marriage smack your wife in the mouth and tell her "that's for nothing, now imagine when you do something""

Somehow, I'm not sure that would be considered the top tip for wooing your wife in marriage preparation classes today. " src="http://forums-files.appleinsider.com/images/smilies//lol.gif" />
This award looks like an award for participation. Apple's won it 125 times! But Samsung's won it 501 times!
De gustibus non est disputandum.
Yeah, while Apple had a few dozens of products in the last decade, Samsung had few thousands (starting from light balls, to vacum cleaners, tvs and shaving machines)...but yeah, the basis of your comparison seems logical..

Has Dvorak said anything a all about the Watch? Has the Apple Watch Death Watch started?

but...but...Apple watch is ugly, thick with bad battery life and overprice.../s
Obviously, anyone saying this has bad taste - by definition.
I haven't see the blue and black, but thanks for posting the white and gold version.
I’ll let you know when the time comes.
What about luxury cars? Small sales numbers.

I found something that's both white and gold and black and blue.
I know, I'm a horrible human being.

Sure, just vilify me, and make me the scapegoat.

I learned it by watching analysts comment on Apple. :smokey:
