What's always struck me about Apple, is that despite their espoused "form follows function/Rams philosophy" - it's clearly not their pattern. They normally seem to start with a great idea (iMacs, ipods, iphones, whatever) - and then add really great incremental additions (mag-safe, 'retina displays', thumb-scanners etc) - and then completely lose sight of what they were originally trying do do as they iterate further. The air being thin was impressive, and ushered in everybody else pulling their finger out. However removal of headphone jacks, connectors, to achieve this was nothing anybody asked for. Not just one the small stuff either - thermal problems on the g4 cube, trash-can, imac pro. The new Pro though looks awesome. Arguments over pricing are separate - but first form-is-function device I've seen from them in an age. I'd like to think Jony hates it, and has stomped off in a huff (or having finally convinced the company to ship it, and point them in the right direction, he's happy to walk away from his baby).
