    Behold the Apple Car. With unapologetically plastic parts. I thought Ive only designed the dash, which he did a good job on btw.

      Which parts do you mean by plastic? The interior is mainly leather, glass and aluminium. The body is supposed to be mainly aluminium.

        It’s a joke. Because Jony Ive is involved. He described the material of iPhone 5c during the launch as “Beautifully, unapologetically plastic”

          Oh damn, didn’t know that one. I’ve never really watched too many Apple events, especially for phones since those are the most boring.

          Funnily enough for a phone I think plastic is better than glass. Doesn’t feel premium, but at least it doesn’t shatter when dropped.
