Abstract

Apple mobile phones are unique in the mobile phone industry, and their perfect combination of design and technology products has become a model in the field of mobile phone design. This not only reflects the unity of functional value and aesthetic value, but also reflects consumers’ recognition of the aesthetic trend of technology products. In the design process of Apple mobile phones, the principles of “Zen aesthetics” and “less is more” are deeply reflected in the design of both the exterior and the internal iOS system. Zen aesthetics is an important cultural heritage left to the world by ancient monks, and Steve Jobs himself was also a “Zen fan”. In this paper, we will discuss the intersection of Zen aesthetics and the aesthetics of technological product design, and analyse how Apple's mobile phone incorporates Zen concepts into its design to show the aesthetic charm of the product.
