“Apple has a consistent and exquisite concept of using the God curve in everything. The God curve is the curvature of the rounded corners that you can see in many places. For example, in the iPhone, you can see the God curve in the metal frame, the physical buttons, the rear bump, the camera, the receiver, the display, the Lighting connector, and even some internal components.
In the software, you can see the God curve in the app icon, the dock, the search bar, the settings bar, the control center, the notification bar in notification center, the widget, and the notch (or dynamic island).
The God curve is also present in other products, such as the Macbook and its software. And even in Apple's buildings and facilities, such as the Apple Park visitor center and its trash cans and seats.
The God curve is a legacy of Mr. Jobs, who made sure that everything Apple does has a high level of consistency and elegance across hardware, software, product, and enterprise.”

“Color, the principle: First, you should think about how color affects the psychology of the user. Then, you should think about the role of color in the product. Finally, you should think about the color itself. According to the theory of static and dynamic, usually colors like static world, the new colors like dynamic elements, new colors will instantly become the focus while ordinary colors will not attract too much attention. For product design, you should aim for a continuous and integrated appearance of the elements, or avoid any interruptions or breaks. This includes the colors of the front panel, frame, and rear panel. For color itself, there are different levels of colors based on how often humans see them. The highest level color is the air, which is the most seen color by humans, but humans cannot make it. The closest thing to air is glass, which can create a 3D color effect by superimposing on other colors. This is a miracle that breaks the common sense that the eye can only see 2D colors. The second level color is the sky, which is the second most seen color by humans, especially during the day. The third level color is the human body, which is the most familiar color to humans, such as skin and hair. The fourth level color is nature, which is the second most familiar color to humans. The fifth level color is artificial. Monochrome is the cornerstone, and the color combination (the same color system can reduce the sense of abruptness, the near color secondary) and the gradient aesthetics are stricter. The more the style focuses on minimalism, the more it favors monochrome.”

“Line and shape, the best principles: Straight lines are the basic and simple form, while curves are more complex and beautiful. Curves can be inward or outward, depending on how they bend. Inward curves are more aggressive, while outward curves are more expansive. Outward curves are easier to handle than inward curves. Curve belongs to God, and is a kind of orderly cognition distilled from chaos, orderly in orderly will reflect each other, but orderly into disorderly in its will return to the basics of chaos or be weakened. Visual of a physical pure curve with a psychological straight line is the best, a curve-based straight line is the second best, a straight-based curve line is the third best, and a pure straight line is the fourth best. This is because a straight line is more harmful than a curve in a product. For example, the iPhone 14 Pro's flat frame is more uncomfortable to hold than the iPhone 15 Pro's round frame.”

“6. Material gloss, the principle: A non-mirror surface looks the same in any environment, but a mirror surface changes with the light and the surroundings. The same material can have different visual effects by using different processes and special materials. But it is hard to change the quality of the material by using the same process on different grades of the same material. Some materials have a charm that is not only based on their features, but also on how they interact with the environment. For example, precious metals can reflect light and show a unique visual effect, even if they are very similar to other elements. The best visual effect is when some of the light is reflected and some of it shows the gloss of the material. The second best is when there is no reflection at all. The third best is when there is a mirror-like reflection that creates complex scenes that are hard to control.”

“Consistency of the width of the four bezels, the principle: four bezels of equal width are best. The larger the difference between the maximum bezel width and the minimum bezel width, the worse the visual effect; the larger the difference between the bezel width of the adjacent border, the worse the visual effect.”

“Slide (on-screen)
The touch should have a low damping for a smooth slide. The lower the damping, the easier it is to move your finger and the better the experience.”

“Sound performance
The sound quality depends on how well the codec can reproduce different recording situations. However, different people may hear the sound differently
1. Pitch, principles: The performance is better when the codec can restore different recording situations more accurately.
2. Loudness, principles: The performance is better when the codec can restore different recording situations more accurately.)
3. Tone color : ① Frequency range (principle: The codec can cover the range of frequencies that humans can hear, which is from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. ②Response time (principle: the shorter the better, excellent threshold is 10ms.) ③The spatial effect (The best codec is the one that can create a realistic sound effect without distorting or losing any specific frequencies. It should also have a balanced ratio of sound quality and compression.)
4. Sense of space, the principle: The codec should be able to reproduce the sound as if it is coming from different distances and directions in the recording studio.
5. Tuning style, the principle: The codec should be able to capture the details of the sound, such as the resolution, the atmosphere, the balance and connection of the three frequencies (bass, midrange, and treble), and the vocals and instruments. The codec should also be able to match the original recording as closely as possible. If the codec has a different tuning style from the original recording, it is not necessarily worse, but it should still be clear and pleasant. If the codec has a better tuning style than the original recording, it is even better.”

“The principle: The main components of a flagship device should be high-end, while other components can be mid-range or high-range, but not more than 30% of them. The device should not use low-end components that would affect its performance in some situations, especially those related to the core calculation and transport. Different companies have different abilities to negotiate with the suppliers, so the price does not reflect the quality of the materials used.”

“For example, a P-arrangement OLED screen has about 1/3 less pixels than an RGB-arrangement LCD screen of the same size. This reduces the effective ppi of OLED screens, which is the actual sharpness that you perceive. In other words, effective ppi \< logical ppi for OLED screens.”

gravity helps those who are moving,
nature helps those who evolve,
reality listens to those who write it.”
