From an article in the Guardian...
"The top award of a black pencil is notoriously difficult to achieve - at six D&AD ceremonies none has been given out, the most recent being the 2003 awards. This makes winning one all the more coveted.
"One of the things that makes D&AD credible is they won't give an award if the work isn't good enough," said Jonathan Ive, the chief designer at Apple, speaking to MediaGuardian.co.uk.
"It is not about what is best that year, it is about an absolute standard."
Jonathan Ive is a genius, no doubt. The full article is here.

The media don't usually cover stuff made up by other media...as it's not real news as such.
and...I doubt anyone can be bothered to fuel your paranoia about how we all hate Apple kit.

Yeah they got one for the iPhone, one for the iMac which I'm surprised at cos I don't think personally that it's that great of a design, certainly not compared to previous versions. They also got another award for the iPod nano.
