It appears that Apple and Star Wars might have a stronger connection than one might think. In a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, Apple Designer Jony Ive spoke about design influences. And more specifically with a conversation that he had with Star Wars: The Force Awakens director J.J. Abrams. As Apple’s Earbuds and therefore AirPods were designed with Stormtroopers in mind.
Stormtroopers leading design colors are black and white, with a large portion of them featuring the simple design that Apple is known for. In fact with Star Wars: The Force Awakens the redesigned Stormtroopers had influences from Apple.
So it would appear that the force is strong with Apple’s Earbuds and Stormtroopers, but it might be stronger with Apple and Star Wars.
