Apple has had significant hardware missteps too, such as the butterfly keyboard. Presumably some executive ordered "make it thinner" and did not accept any pushback!
- ThePowerOfFuet 4y agoThat executive's name was Jonathan Ive, and he should have owned his mistake.
- nebula8804 4y agoThey pushed him out(unofficially from what I heard)...the guy behind the iMac, iPod, iPhone and many other iconic devices. I'd gather that he has been forced to own the mistake.
- ThePowerOfFuet 4y agoOwning something and being forced to own it are not the same thing.
- oriolid 4y agoOn the other hand, Apple is very good at reverting their mistakes and pretending they never happened. Who remembers the single button mouse, hockey puck mouse, iPod dock connector, emojibar without physical esc key, USB-C as the only connector and others?
