It sucks that most people don’t see the pocket as the perfect overlap between fashion and tech. It’s the ideal Issey Miyake bag, it’s just something tech people won’t get.
That and the design misattributions. Even going in blind, if you actually read the Newsroom post and find the Store page, you can figure out that this isn’t even an Apple product. It’s an ISSEY MIYAKE product. If you end up finding any of the Vogue articles, it says right in the article that this was a design project initiated by and done within ISSEY MIYAKE by an ISSEY MIYAKE team, with some input from Apple employees they (proactively) approached and talked to.
I’m sure a lot of people get it, but “this is kinda neat” makes for less of a HN comment than [insert an elaborate rant on how ridiculous it is to charge markups for fashion stuff]
It sucks that most people don't see that Apple totally stole this (iPhone Pocket) after it became trendy. I bought it as a gift last year. It was very trendy then. I forgot the store's name. Just like apps, Apple steals fashion ideas.
