Furthermore, from the device itself to its UX, cover, and packaging, the elements of Maison Margiela’s iconic design philosophy were thoughtfully extended to many aspects of the Galaxy Z Flip 4 Maison Margiela Edition.

Galaxy Z Flip 4:

Maison Margiela’s signature solid white color with a matte finish was incorporated into the smartphone with a drop of gray to create the optimal shade of white.

The phone also adopts Maison Margiela’s Decortic technology, which exposes an object’s core by pulling the outer layers of the back, with fine, translucent lines that line the phone’s internal circuitry.

UX:

The device comes with a completely new UX design including wallpapers and icons. The paintbrush artwork is designed with advanced 3D modeling technology to capture the texture of rough brush strokes. It also captures the scanning motion of X-rays for a see-through look.

Accessories:

The Galaxy Z Flip 4 Maison Margiela Edition comes with two iconic phone cases. The first is a unique leather cover that reflects the house’s iconic bianchetto technique, which reduces an object down to the simple beauty of a white canvas and its four stitches emblem, which signifies anonymity.

Meanwhile, the second cover is a spin on Maison Margiela’s emblematic numeric coding ring, evoking the house’s DNA.

Whereas, the box of the device is itself a work of art, playing with the reimagined idea of the house and exposing the rough surface of the inner pulp material to provide a packaging design that has never been seen before.

Availability:

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 Maison Margiela Edition will only be available in select markets, including China (Hong Kong), France, and Korea, starting from December 1, 2022. The company has not revealed the prices of these smartphones nor told if they will be available in other countries or not.

Apple US DOJ iphone monopoly

The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a lawsuit against tech giant Apple, accusing the company of maintaining an illegal monopoly in the smartphone market. The DOJ accuses Apple of violating the Sherman Antitrust Act.

The suit claims Apple has restricted third-party app growth, limited cloud and game-streaming services, forced continued iPhone purchases for messaging, diminished non-Apple smartwatch functionality, and prevented third-party digital wallet use.

In a press conference, US Attorney General Merrick Garland highlighted issues such as the App Store’s fee system, degraded third-party accessory experiences, and relies heavily on Messages. The case, backed by 16 state Attorneys General, could have significant implications for Apple’s business practices and the broader tech industry.

The US DOJ said in a release about the suit:

Apple exercises its monopoly power to extract more money from consumers, developers, content creators, artists, publishers, small businesses, and merchants, among others.”

Apple also responded by defending its innovation and user-focused approach, warning that the lawsuit could hinder its ability to deliver the seamless technology integration users expect. Check the entire response of Apple below.

At Apple, we innovate every day to make technology people love — designing products that work seamlessly together, protect people’s privacy and security, and create a magical experience for our users. This lawsuit threatens who we are and the principles that set Apple products apart in fiercely competitive markets.

If successful, it would hinder our ability to create the kind of technology people expect from Apple — where hardware, software, and services intersect. It would also set a dangerous precedent, empowering the government to take a heavy hand in designing people’s technology. We believe this lawsuit is wrong on the facts and the law, and we will vigorously defend against it.”
