The Apple Design Awards have been presented each year since 1996 (when they were known as ‘Heidis” which was shorthand for ‘Human Interface Design Excellence’ Awards) and the categories vary from year to year.
The 2010 show saw the first time that the Apple Design Awards were not awarded for Mac OS X products, as this year’s conference focus solely on iOS products. The Mac OS X categories will return in 2011.
Meanwhile we highlight some of the winning Mac OS X products from the last few years…
