Those 5 years were when Johny Ive had full reign over Apple design with no Jobs to keep him in check. I imagine engineers were screaming in agony but unable to do anything but work within these constraints that heavily prioritized form over function. It's really funny to see all Ive's bad ideas undone over the last 2 years — the touch bar, the lack of ports, the thinness taken to the extreme, etc.

- grishka 5y agoOr another way to look at it: there's now screen around the notch and that's more useful than that area being just black glass instead. The menu bar used to eat into your screen, but now it's wrapped around the notch in that area and you have more screen for other things.
- egypturnash 5y agoI'm looking at the menu bar of my laptop right now and I sure do have a bunch of menu bar items that go past the center of the screen. Personally I'd rather just ditch the camera, I never use the thing. Or just not scrape for every fraction of an inch of screen possible. Margins are nice.
