Including the Digital Crown from the Apple Watch demonstrates the power of Apple designing their hardware in house and amortizing new components over many products.
- ChrisRR 6y agoSo... a volume knob?
- dsalzman 6y agoIt’s not that it’s innovative in its function. It’s innovative in the speed of design and ability to leverage parts in their supply chain they already have.
- ChrisRR 6y agoI wouldn't say it's innovative to use a component you already have, just standard engineering practice. If I had a component in house that already fit the spec, then I 'd consider that before sourcing a new component or designing a new one.
- manderley 6y agoNo other product before has had a twistable button!
- sixstringtheory 6y agoMany used to, but how many modern "smart" devices do? It's all touchscreen now. I'm glad they're keeping this tech around.
