| I don’t understand why Apple made such blatant mistake. The clock app wasn’t included on the iPad and an alternative version clearly missing on the Appstore. This version of click is well made, simple to use as this kind of app should be.. Borrowing the design of very well known clock is a good idea too. But Mondaine (the owner of that design) have licensing option already in place :
http://www.mondaine.com/private-label/ So clearly Apple could have just bought the licence of this design. But they could also have taken this opportunity to ask worldwide watchmaker to give their clockface designs for the official Apple Clock application. I am sure every watchmaker in the world would have paid without questions. After all they are all spending millions in magazine adverts. I don’t understand the position of Apple just after the Samsung lawsuit. The result is to show Apple being arrogant once more and it put the company in a mismatch branding situation that could have been avoided. Clearly somebody at Apple is not doing his / her job. |
