Is this a glimpse into what the Apple Car interior components may have looked like?

Maybe the font (looks like SF pro), parts of the GUI, and the liberal use of glass surfaces.

But there's absolutely no way the apple car would've had gauges anywhere near this physically complex, or a steering wheel that looks like this with the thin spokes and manettino. A lot of the switches also look significantly more premium that what you'd realistically expect from someone like apple making their first car.

It looks nice but nothing groundbreaking. If you hadn’t told me Jony Ive did it, I wouldn’t have ever known or thought it was unique.

I was genuinely expecting neon colours, gradients and whatnot.

Everything is a squircle (or whatever those continuously curved corners are called). I quite like it - but it definitely has Ives signature style.

I welcome to physical buttons. But multiple rectilineal shapes dominate without harmony. Almost feels like a semi truck interior.

Yes, similar response. I like all of the individual elements, but they don't work together visually.

Fun to see Ive's pivot to adopting skeuomorphism (false analog clocks, etc) a design trend he famous opposed iirc.

It's going to be the thinnest Ferrari ever, machined out of a single block of aluminium (or is it aluminum).

It would look better in some Mini Cooper version

Don't vibe with it. Give me a 2 door Porsche EV.

I can't tell if it is just me, but a digital analogue clock is weird. I'm all for analogue time keeping with hands circling a face, but when it is put on a flat screen, it feels cheap. There aren't enough buttons, there is too much to read, and all of this while I'm driving. I remember my friends dad had a Corvette or something in the mid-late 90s, and it had this red projected HUD on the windshield. All of your info…

> There aren't enough buttons, there is too much to read, and all of this while I'm driving. The speedo and rev counter are exactly where they should be. What else do you need to read while driving? What buttons are you missing?

Who needs a rev counter on an EV?

Ugh, maybe I need to see it inside an actual car but overall looks like it could belong inside a small truck/SUV if you took away the Ferrari logos.

I like the physical controls. I actually just traded off my truck over the weekend and the climate controls being through the screen were a major part of that decision. It still seems like the switches here are pretty minimal and might be annoying - do you have to go through the screen when your windshield starts to fog?
