Rejected Apple Devices

Last week, an email was leaked to the public that included some rejected ideas for new Apple projects. Here are a few of them:

iRate: an app that lets users search rates for everything from insurance to plane tickets, all in one easy place.

Reason for rejection: severe customer dissatisfaction.

 

iScream: A glasses/earbud combination that turns daily life into a horror movie, complete with lighting and soundtrack.

Reason for rejection: test users still won’t go down into their basements.

 

iHop: an exercise regime app that centers around hopping through daily activities in order to burn more calories.

Reason for rejection: users always end up making pancakes.

 

iAye: a device for the military that turns recruits into trained killers in record time.

Reason for rejection: the military runs strictly on Windows.

 

iLand: a device that cuts users off from the world, keeping them isolated from meaningful relationships and distracts them with mind-numbing substitutes.

Reason for rejection: made redundant by most existing technology.

 

iCon: a $2000 device made of molded plastic and aluminum that sits on your shelf and plugs into a 110V connection

Reason for rejection: no perceivable purpose
