14 DAY TRIAL // If you take a quick look at an HTC design office, you will think you got into an Apple Store. Everyone works on a Mac. A recent video tour of their facility shows the secret behind the design of the HTC One (M8).
The first blurry screen of an iMac shows up at the 5th second of the video, followed by two happy HTC employees that smile next to a 15" retina MacBook Pro with the Apple logo facing the camera.
Frame by frame, shot by shot, you can see the white USB and Thunderbolt cables, Apple Displays connected to Mac minis or MacBook Airs, Apple keyboards and multi-touch trackpads, and even iPhones in the employees hands.
The video closes with a tag line that says, "Be brilliant. Be HTC!" I guess it's kind of difficult for all those employees not to have an iPhone that works so fine with a Mac.
We counted 71 Mac computers and screens in this video.
But HTC is not the first company to use Macs in a promo. Back in 2011, Nokia shot and edited a whole interview with its CEO Stephen Elop and with Microsoft's Steve Ballmer using a Garage Band Loop.
