It sounds like it was pretty much a worldwide phenomena. Lines were a fraction of their normal size. http://www.mercurynews.com/business/ci_21916488/mini-lines-mini-ipad Veterans of these things were doing double takes and double chec…

I think recent Apple HW design has been more hit and miss than in the past. The new iPods with white plastic faces and pastel colors are downright ugly IMO. The all black iPad Mini looks bland (though I do think the white one looks sha…

That does seem like a very low estimate, but lines are reported to have been quite short for this release and this was combined iPad4/Mini release. It seem iPad 3 lines alone were longer. Release fatigue?

I like skeuomorphic design. I like the felt fabric texture used in game center image above. I hate the flat featureless/textureless world of Win8, and would hate to see this end up dominating OSX/iOS. Mac is supposed to be my escape if…
