In my previous post here I tried to inform the reader of similarities between Apple’s product designs and those of others (especially Bang and Olufsen).
When I saw the calculator feature of the iPhone and iPod Touch it immediately reminded me of my Braun ET66 calculator I bought in the 80s.
This is recognised as a classic design by Dieter Rams.
My experience of product designers is that they take inspiration from many other sources often outside of their own field. Car designers, for instance, often use building interiors, fashion, and other forms of transport for inspiration.
Apple’s design team must be well aware of ‘classic’ designs and sometimes this influences their own ‘design decisions’.
