Is it really his fault though? Apple from the beginning pushed the boundaries multiples faster than any other company by asking the engineers to create the impossible, and more often than not they delivered. The butterfly keyboard did work, it just had reliability issues (I loved typing on the butterfly as long as it worked). The problem was that they tried to never take the complaints seriously in the open while secretly trying to fix the design with bandaid after bandaid before finally giving up. That’s the problem, owning up to mistakes (remember the audacity with which Jobs spoke about antenna gate asking the people to hold the phone correct) not the excessive push towards thinness. We reap the benefits of the dogged pursuit by the crazies in the company which just means once in a while they also screw up something.
- PhantomGremlin 6y agoWe reap the benefits of the dogged pursuit by the crazies in the company which just means once in a while they also screw up something. All companies screw up. Much worse than Apple screwing up is that they continued to obfuscate and prevaricate and deny. Repeatedly. For years. In other words, they doubled down (actually tripled down, 3 editions of butterfly) on stupidity.
