When it comes down to it Apple products are nice to look at, they’re sleek, thin and shiny. Does this represent any ideal society where we want to look thin and sleek and have matching electronic items? Some may argue that society has become shallow and impractical.

During the tenure of former CEO Steve jobs, Apple had extreme unprecedented success. Garnering an almost cult-like following with its innovations, Apple found itself in very unique position in that the products it manufactured were first to market, essentially creating a new market for competitors to challenge it in.
