Braunless

braun calculator - apple merchandise circa 86-87Is 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.
