Am I missing something? Whether it be an actual difference or a joke? These look exactly the sameDual Analog -> DualShock:
I was about to mention the original Playstation controller -> Dual-Shock. The Playstation controller that lacks analog sticks entirely is long forgotten.Dual Analog -> DualShock:
My non-gaming example would probably be Windows 3.1's UI to Windows 95. Not only visually iconic but the Start Menu was a huge addition.
Original Dual Analog had slightly longer "handles", and had concave analog stick domes. (and, obviously, no rumble)
Actually, i didn't like the convex domes of the DualShock (and DS2 and DS3 / SixAxis) as they became super slippery after a while.
Honestly, the 3DS -> 3DS XL was also a very decent upgrade. (better materials, smaller bezels, better ergonomics)
And while the original Game Boy Advance was pretty neat, the GBA SP was a god tier handheld (imho).
We're kinda lucky that the first gen Switch actually looks pretty decent.
the iPhone 4 was fucking iconic

probably one of the best examples.

The Dual Analogue has no rumble pack and the L3 and R3 buttons are concave and normal plastic instead of the "mushroom" shape and rubber coating of the DualShock version.
It also has longer grips than both the original PlayStation controller and the later DualShock controllers.
The L2 and R2 buttons also have different shapes than the DualShock:
Yep best iPhone design by far.
I'm glad the iPhone12 is going back to the slab design of the 4.
The L2 and R2 were also shaped differently, being the same shape as L1 and R1
And also the first retina screen.Yep best iPhone design by far.
I'm glad the iPhone12 is going back to the slab design of the 4.
The difference in resolution between those two gens is the biggest improvement to me. Screens instantly became far more pleasant to look at.
OG Trix!
Then in 91 we got
But then we got new--wait, that's the old shape...
The fuck? We just go back and forth every ten years and tell kids it's a new shape, now? The original new shape is now Classic Trix?!
Special bonus: The best of class Got Milk commercial.

Please clean these before taking more pictures :/The Dual Analogue has no rumble pack and the L3 and R3 buttons are concave and normal plastic instead of the "mushroom" shape and rubber coating of the DualShock version.

The two designs are still too close for this thread, imo.The Dual Analogue has no rumble pack and the L3 and R3 buttons are concave and normal plastic instead of the "mushroom" shape and rubber coating of the DualShock version.

Original PS controller to dual analog fits much better.
The change in design from the Samsung Galaxy S5 to the Samsung Galaxy S6 made Samsung phones stylistically appealing.
I dunno, was the PSOne Slim popular in the US or something? As a European I feel like the original PS1 design is much more iconic.Another that could be considered an iconic one, at least for Console refresh history is the original PS1 design to the PSOne Slim refresh.
Yeah, that's the first one I thought of.
3rd gen iPad Pro comes really close, my favorite recent redesign.

OMG that first redesign . Ew. super cursed. who approved that??Remember that time when Rare redesigned its logo?
It didn't take too long before that intensely boring logo was changed back to something more akin to the original.
That dead skin. :(The Dual Analogue has no rumble pack and the L3 and R3 buttons are concave and normal plastic instead of the "mushroom" shape and rubber coating of the DualShock version.
