Apple's meteoric success would beg to differ.
What you said can be found in areas like industrial, aerospace and the like, as the manuals are part of the product delivery contract, but is not valued in consumer electronics anymore.
- marcellus23 5y agoApple doesn’t include physical manuals but their built-in Help and online support docs tend to be pretty detailed.
- thereddaikon 5y agoNot really. Apple's success merely shows that their methods are good for making them lots of money. There are many ways to judge the quality of a product. I'd argue that how much profit it makes is a bad one for literally everyone except the seller.

- SahAssar 5y agoJust because it is not valued currently does not mean it is not important.

- icedchai 5y agoI remember the manuals that came with the Apple II series. They actually had schematics of the machine. How times have changed...
- DonHopkins 5y agoThe Apple II manuals were Great Literature, not merely Excellent Documentation. The listings of Woz's riveting 6502 code and his brilliant schematics were the Jane Eyre of its genre. Or maybe it's more appropriate to compare the fold-out Apple II schematics to the original Marilyn Monroe centerfold of Playboy's first issue in December 1953.
