The Apple Store used to be the embodiment of everything I didn't have when I was growing up - status, the lives the people in the sample pictures had, any sort of individual money or agency - now I have an Apple Store in walking distance and can buy whatever I want. It's a nice shift, even though I still don't have the life those actors in the sample pictures or Apple ads have.

Next you’re going to tell me Jony Ive didn’t spend every day in a featureless white room meditating on the ideal form of a laptop or phone or MP3 player (a rounded rectangle, it turns out)

I think that's totally accurate, actually.
