Ashley Ogawa Clarke for Vogue, on the aforelinked iPhone Pocket collab between Apple and Issey Miyake (paywalled; Apple News+; Internet Archive):
Though Miyake and Jobs are not around to see it, there is a significance to the collaboration that transcends the product. “Both these great masterminds are now gone, but what we have in common is how we continue to challenge ourselves to be innovative, and to create new and original things,” says Miyamae. “It’s a moment of connecting the dots.”
Intentionally or not, I’m reminded of two things: Jobs’ quote from his Stanford commencement, “You can’t connect the dots looking forward. You can only connect them looking backwards,” and WWDC 2013’s “a thousand no’s for every yes” video.
