When Apple released the first iPhone back in 2007, it revolutionized the smartphone industry. Since then, the Cupertino giant has unveiled various products with unique designs, thanks to former chief designer Jony Ive, who is known for his design skills. However, the company has been releasing its latest iPhones, iPads, and Mac with the same old design language. And for that, Tesla’s design chief recently criticized Apple for its design principles.
In a recent podcast interview with Spike Feresten of Spike’s Car Radio, the chief of design at Tesla, Franz von Holzhausen bashed Apple’s design choices and stated that there is nothing “to look forward to” when it comes to their products. Holzhausen further mentioned that Apple’s devices are “just a continuation” of its previous product designs and come with slight refinements.
Hence, the criticism from the Tesla executive, who has designed Tesla’s Model S, Model 3, Model X, and the unreleased Cybertruck, is fair. Further, Holzhausen went on to criticize the Apple Watch, saying that he has not “really found much purpose to it, other than the fitness part,” though he wears one himself. However, if Apple acquired Tesla when Elon Musk wanted it, I’m sure Holzhausen wouldn’t be saying this!
