Yet it won't be hard to pick the Apple offerings out of that pile.

The same can be done when starting a design with the teardrop shape.
The basic teardrop layout offers plenty of scope for individual design features.
No other consumer product,as the automobile,has such planetary implications when it comes to 'design.'
It's my opinion that 'stylists' should not possess the power to influence such a technology.
