If you have read Steve Jobs's book, then you probably know that Apple has swerved from his vision. Steve wanted everything looking smooth, sleek and most of all, easy to use. You can tell that many of the Apple decisions made are these so called "way ahead of their time innovations" but instead make the user experience worse. Jobs would have never let these headaches pass for innovation.
I am reminded of this every time I'm on a plane and I go to plug in my Bose noise cancelling headphones and then F*ck! I forgot the dongle. WTF.
Jobs, "so you want to remove the headphone jack?"
Apple Designer, "yes, we believe people will buy wireless headphones in the future""
Jobs, "what happens when their headphones run out of batteries?"
Apple Designer, "They can then use regular headphones"
Jobs, "so you want people to carry around this extra swing dick around so they can use headphones?"
Apple Designer, "Yes"
Jobs, "You're fired"
