Industrial Design

When I think of industrial design, I think of Apple and the many portable products it has designed and released over the years, specifically size-wise. In this photo, it shows three different versions of the iPod and then, finally, the iPhone. The point of this picture is to show the progression of Apple's design. They started with something very small that could just play music, and ended up with a device that is much bigger but could do so much more. Usually consumers like sleek, compact designs. You can study pretty much any product and normally the final design is the smallest and most sleek (take the computer, for example). Apple did the opposite, and I suppose the industrial design concept was this: what the iPhone lacks in terms of compactness (compared to the iPod Shuffle), it makes up for in function. Despite its size (the iPhone was the largest pocket device Apple had made when it was released in 2007) it made consumer's lives much easier.
