Steve Jobs would have never let the TouchBar come to market, if not outright fire the inventor of it. I’m on my second MacBook Air because of how bad is touchbar.

Same with the stupid camera lens bump that is now ubiquitous across the iPhone. I just picture some engineer walking into his office to show him the iPhone 7 prototype, and he flips it over, runs his fingers over that bump, and fires the guy on the spot.

Steve Jobs championed the abomination that was the hockey puck mouse, and did not think that mice, in general, needed more than one button.

Single click is still the default on every mac. You have to turn on right click clicking. Most don’t.
