It should not surprise you that Apple has hubris and strong opinions about how their products should be used. You see this in everything from the design to the features they support (and disable). This certainly existed in the Jobs era and it still exists in the Cook era, and they’re not “design features” in the sense that it’s only about appearance. The allegation of the previous post was that the charging port was purely a design feature rather than a product-experience one. And further that it’s a “botch” rather than an intentional feature that may actually be achieving a useful goal that the post author just doesn’t assign value to. To be a “botch” would imply that people dislike the device and it’s a sales failure.
