A designer’s sensible take on the AirPods redesign

Posted on by

All it took was a chamfer to make the AirPods sensible. Designer Xhakomo Doda reworked the world’s favorite wireless earbuds, giving them a slight facelift to make them better. Better how, you ask? Well, these redesigned AirPods don’t need an ugly Dental-Floss case, and they can snap to the sides of your iPad Pro to charge too. That’s better, isn’t it?

Xhakomo’s AirPods look virtually the same, barring a slight chamfer on one side that allows you to magnetically dock it in places. The two AirPods can either be docked to their wireless-charging baseplate (which acts as a replacement for the AirPods case), or can be docked to each other, securing them in a way that makes it easier to prevent one of them from getting lost. The flat surface even goes the distance, allowing you to snap the AirPods to the side of an iPad Pro the way you would an Apple Pencil, allowing you to charge them in a way that uses Apple’s ecosystem pretty efficiently… not to mention that flat surface can actually do a better job of guiding your fingertips and giving you a better surface to tap, double-tap, and slide against.

The AR glasses that match Apple’s original design language

Posted on by

With the recent launch of Apple’s rather questionable and most definitely controversial Mac Pro, there is no denying that this concept is looking more ‘Apple’ than Apple themselves! Introducing the conceptual augmented reality goggles that beautifully carry the iconic design language that we know and love. The challenge for this project was create a revolutionary pair of spectacles where the elegant fusion of technology and style drive the design!

We’ve seen Google attempt this in the past, but we believe that their downfall was that they lost the ‘glasses’ element, leading to a cyborg-esque aesthetic that wasn’t to everyone’s taste. This concept retains both of the lenses and the iconic form of a pair of glasses, to create an understated yet undeniably Apple-like product!
