Is Apple Ripping-Off Designs and UI from Braun?


We all know Apple is always innovative and brings great products to the with great design and usability. But this post at Gizmodo really makes us think whether apple is really ripping Braun’s designs?! While the Guys at Gizmodo got a different definition for this:

Some people will probably call these examples a “rip-off” but, in a world where industrial design and art is constantly being recycled into new work, I just see Apple’s products as a great evolution to classic concepts.

See for yourself:
