Is
this calculator, an Apple branded BrAun (model ET33/ ET88, circa 1986/87) the ultimate cause of all the supposed
design theft claims surrounding the iPhone calculator app?
Take a closer look — the iphone calc is at most, a stylised representation of the BrAun.
This finely designed Braun calculator has an eight-digit display and four-key memory storage. Battery operated, it comes with a protective travel case. #
Yes,
it’s obviously thievery. Fancy stealing gaining design queues from one’s own officially licensed merchandise.
Do people just post fact-less bull-shit for effect now? There was a time when even the worst offenders bothered to do a modicum of research.
Must be a quiet day in Redmond.
