We drove around the building’s perimeter. “This is something that Steve cared about passionately,” Ive said. “There is a bittersweetness here, because this is obviously about the future, but every time I come here it makes me think of the past as well—and just the sadness. I just wish he could have seen it.” We went to have lunch with Newson, in a twenty-thousand-square-foot room built as a miniature test run of the future campus cafeteria. ♦

There are cooling slots and vents on the housing, and those can be disconcerting as it looks like liquids can go right into the tablet’s interior. That’s not the case as the fan, which doesn’t mind a bit of water, is mounted inside a sealed "enclave" inside the tablet.

I legitimately don’t understand how a company could even approve a product of this quality for production. I’d always known that ZAGG products were expensive, but they were at least high-quality. But this InvisibleShield, which retails for $49.99, is the opposite of high-quality. It completely fails at being a screen protector, and I’d rather have no protection on my screen than have this thing on it. If I sound angry, it’s because I am. I’m not sure how this made it past the prototyping stage, and I wouldn’t even pay a tenth of the price for it.

The rear camera system on the Honor 8C is comprised of two lenses – a 13-megapixel (f/1.8) primary sensor and a 2-megapixel (f/2.2) secondary depth sensor. There’s phase-detection autofocus (PDAF) as well, with Huawei claiming that the AI-based enhancements allow the smartphone to capture some great photos. This isn’t always the case.

In December, a day after a severe coastal storm had sent seabirds darting inland, across Silicon Valley, I met Ive at the site of the future campus, a five-minute drive from Infinite Loop. It was still raining. There was no view of the Santa Cruz Mountains, and no sign of the drone that sometimes buzzes overhead, recording video that is scrutinized online. The site has been cleared of all but one preëxisting office building. This is where thirty Foster architects work; they are sometimes joined by London-based colleagues, and by Ive and his team. In the lobby, there was a wall-size rendering of the campus, into whose central landscaped circle—amphitheatre, fountain, apricot trees—one could drop the Great Pyramid. When the design studio is relocated, it will occupy a top-floor space of thirty thousand square feet, with Industrial Design and Human Interface together, sharing a view of what Apple refers to as the “savanna” between the main building and the fitness center.

The rest of the case is great. Buttons are clicky and easy to press, there’s a nice lip around the camera to prevent it from getting damaged, and the fingerprint sensor cutout slopes down to meet the sensor perfectly. The front lip is higher than a glass screen protector, should you choose to use one. There’s a bit of branding (the ‘Spigen’ on the back and the ‘Neo Hybrid’ on the frame), but it’s pretty subtle.

“Tranquility abounds as you listen to the relaxing sounds of the garden waterfall,” says the homeowner. “It is so peaceful here.”

Huawei’s sub-brand has been on some sort of a launch spree this year, having unveiled a truckload of smartphones, one after the other. To close off 2018, Honor recently launched the 8C, a lower mid-range smartphone. With a starting price of Rs 11,999, the Honor 8C brings a lot to the table (at least, on paper), including everything from AI-enhanced camera systems to a big battery. But when put together, do these things make Honor 8C a compelling package? Find out, in our full review of the Honor 8C.

We’re almost done on our tour of the Nolan helmet factory. Once the helmets are painted and the clear coat has been applied, they pass various stations to have the face shields, internal visors and other parts installed.
