after my recent post about those who ‘keep boxes’

my longtime friend, a brilliant apple systems engineer

texted this mind-blowing response to me:

“thought you might like to know that the apple engineers designed the iphone box

so that the amount of time it takes to lift the top off is 4 seconds –

just because their research showed

that it was the amount of anticipation that gave the recipient the most joy”

 i only recently gave a gift in my macbook air box that i had saved for no reason other than i loved its amazing design.
