Oh that’s easy. Focus and take hard decisions that are unpopular in the short term but mostly right in the long term. Examples - first iPhone doesn’t support

Oh that’s easy. Focus and take hard decisions that are unpopular in the short term but mostly right in the long term.
Examples
- first iPhone doesn’t support
MMS
- cut the headphone plug in new iPhones
- stop supporting Adobe Flash
- load apps through the App Store only in iOS
- slivanes 6y agoWe must have a different perspective, all of the above are to the detriment of the consumer (flash, not so much).
- shoto_io 6y agoI don't think they are. They are deliberate choices to not please everyone. It’s product management at its best.
- mlindner 6y agoYou can go back further: Abandonment of the floppy drive. Abandonment of the CD drive. Abandonment of Firewire.
- the_local_host 6y agoIt's not easy. Apple does have a consistent "spirit", but it's such a strange combination of idealism and ruthlessness that it's hard to know which aspect(s) anyone is invoking when they mention it. I don't know why that question is getting so many downvotes.
- shoto_io 6y agoYes you’re right. I should have said: “that’s easy for me” or something like that
