Features?

More features, or fewer features?

A DESIGN thought: why is it that every new generation of some thing touts more and newer benefits and features, rather than removing features?

In fact, evolution and progression should be about removing features, and simplifying things, than adding features and functions.

For example, with devices, the fewer buttons the better. Also, the genius of Apple was initially getting rid of ports.

Also, every new generation should actually become lighter and thinner. My ideal is that every upgraded Apple product becomes more feather light, and also thinner. I desire the iPhone mini to keep getting thinner, rather than the iPhone Pro to keep getting bigger and thicker.

With cars, the best car is still probably the Tesla model 3, because it is the smallest Tesla car, also with the fewest amount of superfluous design elements. For example, I really do not like these pieces of plastic above the wheel well which is on the Tesla model X in the Tesla model Y. The Tesla model 3 is the most pure design. And I like it the most.

Also, with Lamborghini cars, perhaps the Lamborghini Huracan is actually superior to the Aventador, because it is smaller and simpler. And beside the traditional iconic Lamborghini scissor doors, I actually think that the design of the Lamborghini Huracan is superior to that of the Aventador.

Air over Pro

Another realization I had: Apple Products which are air or actually superiored in the pro models. Why is that? The air models will always be lighter, thus superior.

Lightness is superior to power.

Also from a lifestyle approach, to subtract superfluous activities and possessions seems wise.

Just one lift, once a week?

Also, if we take this notion to weightlifting, maybe it is best for us to just do one given lift, once a week, than having variety of workouts. For example, just doing a one rep max sumo deadlifts PR attempt, every week once a week, then doing any other lift.

Don’t buy a plug-in hybrid

The basic idea of a plug-in hybrid seems like you get the best of both worlds: electric vehicle, and part gas vehicle. But to me, this seems like a bad compromise. Also from a design perspective, the plug-in hybrid is an additional feature, which is not necessary. Or in other words, better to just get a Prius over a Prius prime.
