Steve was famous for brutally streamlining Apple's product offerings, and making it stupidly easy to understand the differences between product tiers.
I don't necessarily think four iPad offerings is too many, but I don't think Steve would've ever found it acceptable. He loved debuting with a single product, then adding a cheaper "mini," then eventually creating a holy trinity (mini/regular/pro), and leaving it that way forever.
- oceanplexian 5y agoThe complexity of Apple's product offerings is not that new. iPod consisted of a bunch of random variants over the years (Shuffle, Mini, Nano, Color, etc.) and people were complaining about conflicting product features back in the day (Now it's USB-C vs. Lightning, back then it was Firewire vs. USB).
