I find discussions like this extremely disingenuous. It's much like discussing the lifestyles and personal choices of celebrities. You don't know what the lifestyles of celebrities are really like, just as you don't really know what it's like inside apple's design team. It's all speculation.
- paulryanrogers 7y agoBut we do know the output. And for those of us using the products for years at a time, at no small expense, the investment is significant
- samdixon 7y agoYeah, we know the output, but we don't know what really happened or how things ended up this way. It still pairs up with the celebrity aspect. We know Kanye acts crazy, but is he really crazy, or is it for media? Impossible to tell. I'm by no means defending Apple. The keyboards should have been gone after they discovered the defect, and they really should have gone further in compensating users. Still though, I find articles like this sensationalized at best.
- filleokus 7y agoYeah. I hope me (and something like HN) still exists whenever someone in the know actually writes a memoir about this period of Apple's history.
- scarface74 7y agoWe also know how obsessed Jobs was about product functionality. The original iPhone was going to ship with a plastic screen and was demoed with one when it was introduced. He saw our easily it was scratched an announced in a press release three months before it shipped that they were changing to a glass screen. Contrast that to the then CEO OF Google who used a Blackberry years after Android shipped.
