Comment on Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app
drcobaltjedi@programming.dev 1 day agoI have a lot of shot to say about Steve Jobs, but he knew what asthetics he wanted. He would loathe the current trend with phones having a camera bulge. Look at all the iPhones released under him, look at the back of them. If they had a camera it was flush with the back of the phone.

sure, but do you think he’d be okay with a severely underpowered camera or super thick phone compared to the competition? Neither of those things happened under Jobs either.
It’s not that simple to blame Cook for everything that’s different about iphones now. It was a lot easier to stick to rigid principles in the early days when the market was wide open and the tech rapidly maturing every year. They were making money hand over fist just picking off the low hanging fruit of smartphone evolution. That isn’t enough these days when you have shareholders to answer to.

Bruh, the first iPhone didn’t have a camera
