Any numbers saying that they earn just an average salary?
Also, why would the touchbar be an engineering issue? Some people like it. (I don't)
I do understand your concerns and I agree with some of them, I just don't believe it's because they pay their engineers less, or they are not good enough.
Some decisions come from top management. If there is only capacity to fix 10 bugs, well, that's it. I don't even see this large amount of features delivered on a monthly basis, so I assume their plan is really to invest just on their iPhones and hardware, maybe.
- adrianhel 8y agoThe engineering issue is a lack of accidental touch sensing. Mac did this with the caps lock key (which is arguably easier to implement). The feature feels half baked.
- interpol_p 8y agoI'd argue that the Touch Bar implementation is fully baked but utterly useless. There's a ton of engineering and polish that went into that feature — from the way it can securely render the price of a purchase through Apple Pay to the way it communicates and transfers its frame buffer, to the UI components it can smoothly display. It's just a pity I never actually want to use it.
