- Lammy 5y agoIt appeared in Panther dev builds and even briefly on its public "Mobility" features page but was pulled right before release: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/panther-feature-home-on-ipod.41018/ https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/panther-feature-home-on... Unfortunately the oldest snapshot in Wayback is October 12th 2003 with the blurb already removed. Apple filed a patent application for it in 2002 which was assigned in 2006. It expires this year! https://patents.google.com/patent/US7246226B1/ https://patents.google.com/patent/US7246226B1/ https://appleinsider.com/articles/06/10/11/apples_missing_home_on_ipod_feature_resurfaces_in_filing.html https://appleinsider.com/articles/06/10/11/apples_missing_ho...
- xattt 5y agoSurprisingly, there have been a few vapourware announcements by Apple over the years. Another was the “Restart to Windows” item under the Apple menu when Boot Camp was first announced. Would love to have been a fly on the wall after the keynote where Steve chewed out the engineer that left that in.
