You can tell he wasn’t that interested in writing this, but he’s clearly being told he has to, and I have to admit I agree.

The guys made a top, I don’t care.

Exactly. My need for a coat/jacket is already satisfied, and fashion really isn’t something I care about. I also don’t care about this designer.

You’re allowed to add buttons? I thought modern phones only took them away.

They moved them to jackets and made them magnetic.

How is using magnets a “new button”?

Disabled folks who can’t fasten buttons have been using magnet closures for a while. This guy adds the ability to decorate it and that’s a new button? They had changeable button covers for fun in the ‘80s.

“There wasn’t some arrogant ambition around disruption [of buttons],” Ive told the outlet. “It was a very gentle, humble exploration.”
