> How does this affect you? Are you kidding? The original iPhone was a revolutionary product. iOS was a revolution in user experience. Steve Jobs showed the world that you can build a complex, sophisticated product and still make it simple to use, intuitive and breathtakingly beautiful. That amazing creation has been severely crippled, and Jony is the person that did it. Of course there is a lot of disappointment in the tech community.

Sure, but in a parallel universe it could have flopped. Risks need to be taken nonetheless. In this case, too aggressively, and it sucks that the users have to pay the price. It's not fundamentally that all USB-C minimalism is inherently bad design, it's just that the standard is confusing, so it's bad in implementation. If we were to imagine a perfect sci-fi future, a single connector or no connector would be ideal. The alternative is slow incremental iteration, but there's no guarantee that would lead us to a global optimum either. Look at Sony. Sony had some of the most groundbreaking products, then they merely iterated and didn't take risks. Where is Sony now?
