Last month, Apple introduced a new hardbound photo book called "Designed by Apple in California," chronicling 20 years of Apple product designs. A video starring Jony Ive accompanied the book on Apple's website, and Apple has now shared that video on YouTube.
In the video, Apple design chief Jony Ive talks about Apple's design team, the design studio, and Apple's work on prototyping products before moving on to talk about the book itself. "You understand the nature of an object so much more when you understand how it came to be. The book tells dozens and dozens of stories," Ive says.
"Designed by Apple in California" features more than 450 photographs of Apple products from the 1998 iMac to the 2015 Apple Pencil, documenting the materials and techniques used by Apple's design team over the last two decades.
The book is available exclusively from Apple.com and Apple retail stores, and is available in two sizes: small for $199 and large for $299.

Like, when customers ask for battery size to outweigh the need to make things marginally thinner?
I was having this argument with a colleague today... the jist of it was Apple has always been arrogant, but that arrogance has been directed in ways that in the end led to a direction that benefited many. The Apple of today has in many ways lost that direction. The direction that produced so many products that were on the combined edge of design and engineering.
