Why is Apple's approach on introducing new things so punishing?
iPhone X - introduce Face ID AND remove Touch ID
Macbook - introduce Touch Bar AND remove physical function keys
I'm sure there are other examples but I don't follow Apple's hardware close enough to know. It doesn't have to be this way. In both cases above, both items could easily have been kept to maximize user choice AND maximize innovation at the same time.
- brisance 8y agoYou forgot the doozy… iPhone – a smartphone without a physical keyboard. The outrage back then was immeasurably worse. And here we are now in 2018 and where is Blackberry?
- dbbk 8y agoHaving both Face ID and Touch ID at the same time doesn't make sense and would just be confusing. Having both the Touch Bar and a function key row makes even less sense. It's a replacement not an addition.
