That wasn't the only time Jobs trashed a category Apple didn't currently have annon-sale model for, but was actively developing; he also slurred 6-inch Android phones as "Hummers", and mocked the 7-inch Android tablets as "too small" a little while before Apple launched its iPad Mini.
- fennecbutt 7mo agoExactly, but watch people leap into to defend how brilliant he supposedly was.
- eru 7mo agoI see no contradiction.
- isidusjdjsu 7mo agoThere’s no contradiction here. Jobs’ point was about the MAIN input method. A touchscreen that requires a stylus as main input method still is a terrible idea. The Apple Pencil is meant for alternative and creative input, something you can’t do well with your fingers. Please, leave that reddit-esque “iSheep”-type of comment out of here.
- Maxion 7mo agoTo be fair, 7.9 inches is quite a bit bigger than 7 inches. That's ~30% more screen area.
