A great pair of graphics from Ben Millen showcase some of the detail in the Apple iPhone architecture. Far beyond my expertise, I’ll just let you read his description:
In researching the iPhone as a part of Critical Wayfinding, the analysis of the device, the corporation, the vast network of shareholders, technology and the distribution infrastructure that surrounds it yielded an overwhelming amount of information. In an attempt to organize this information into a format that is engaging and reflective of the wayfinding foundations of the project, two large conceptual diagrams in the style of Harry Beck’s London Underground diagram were produced.
The two graphics are huge, and he’s displaying them in a Google Maps-style interactive setting. See them here and here.
