Global exclusive! Led by Evans Hankey and Alan Dye, the Apple Design Team holds enormous sway over our evolving relationship with technology. Opening the doors to their studio at Apple Park in Cupertino for the first time, they offered us a deep dive into the working processes behind their latest creations
The images reveal new processes that go into making devices like Apple's iPhone 13 and the Apple Watch Series 7, showing in detail a team member assembling the latter by adding its Digital Crown.
Photos also show team members discussing the colors of the new iMac and collaborating to create Apple Watch design combinations that include the body, strap, and watch face all in one place. Another image reveals an audio designer creating custom Apple sounds in the Design Studio sound lab.
The report also features a look at the story of how Apple's unique design ethos came to be, pioneered in part by Steve Jobs and Jony Ive. It evens details the impact of a process so simple as designing both the typeface and the platform it will be displayed on in the same team so the two work seamlessly together. Hankey and Dye told Wallpaper* that Apple Park was "designed for serendipitous meetings as well as collaboration" and was "just so quiet and calming".
