Well, of course they are mass-produced. You, him, and everybode else here knows that.
But there's craftmanship in design: Read something about how Jobs/Apple goes about designing a product. There's an intense passion to get the look, feel and functionality about a product just right. Down to having several iterations of design on the packaging alone.
There's also craftmanship in production. There was an article about how Apple was buying up high powered lasers to puncture microscopic holes in the macbook casings, so you have lights that are invisible when they're not on.
I wish more companies would care as much about the whole experience of a product, rather than just getting more dots on the feature list.
- davidw 15y agoExcellent points. I think if the original poster had written something more like this we would all agree, but writing "mass produced" in the pejorative sense when Apple is exactly that called for a bit of a rebuttal.
