Quotes from John Gruber

It sounds to me like the OLED iPhone is a phone which Apple can't make 40 million of per quarter, at least not today. And if that's true, that means it should be more expensive. Not 'should' in any moral sense, but simply because that's how the principle of supply and demand works.

People are willing to trade money for something that they can touch, not ones and zereos.

My earliest design work was print, and that was my first love. Of course, as the years went on, I did more and more Web design and less and less print. And like everyone who made the switch from print to Web design, I bemoaned the lack of control.

I think Apple Watch might be a tougher sell to current watch wearers than non-watch wearers. Non-watch wearers have an open wrist, and if they cared about the glance-able convenience of an always-visible watch dial, they would be wearing a traditional watch already.

It was very deliberate that Daring Fireball wasn't defined as a Mac site or an Apple site, and this was fortuitous.

'The cloud' is effectively an augmentation of our brains' memories.

There are two types of people in the world: those who wear a watch and those who don't.

Strong ideas, loosely held. That's the path to success.

Is everyone who uses a MacBook Pro a pro? No. It's just basically a faster Mac. And certainly, pros do use them, partly for that reason.

I don't consider ideas for apps all that valuable. It's the implementation of an idea that matters.

Car accidents kill so many of us; we're not going to give up cars, so it seems like we ought to make them harder to crash.

Simply making decisions, one after another, can be a form of art.

As a company itself, Apple is very easy to understand. They're really not a complex company.

The iPhone is not and never was a phone. It is a pocket-sized computer that obviates the phone. The iPhone is to cell phones what the Mac was to typewriters.

The quality of any creative endeavor tends to approach the level of taste of whoever is in charge.
