The gradient on the Apple Card seems to depend on your purchases, using the color conventions set by Maps. It's also animated (I think?). Really cool!

figma still doesn't support plus lighter or plus darker blending modes (aka linear dodge/burn). it's important for bringing out color in translucent materials, and critical for ios. see the difference here? (made in sketch)

The Samsung Serif gets it so right in terms of embracing the TV as furniture and not awkward black rectangles you need to wall-mount or hide. The Samsung Sero too. I always thought these were forever concepts but it turns out you can actually buy em!

Same feelings. The "home" in that keynote felt so detached from reality. I really prefer the imperfections and honesty seen in a lot of their previous advertising. For example:
The “home” set that Apple demonstrated HomePod mini in was one of an extremely wealthy family. It was very beautiful but kinda made me a bit angry.

. There’s nothing more motivating than watching real people light up as they use your product. It also helps us test and improve our interfaces for future teachers. Designers in the field FTW
