RE: Should Apple Just Kill The Keyboard On Macs?

in #technology • 7 years ago (edited)

The numbers point to the keyboard issue being a problem for a tiny group of users. You can bet, if Apple did do away with the keyboard, the Android group would rail against it, then copy it a year later. Just like they did with:

  • The notch
  • Dropping the Headphone jack
  • Face ID
  • The USB port (ditching of legacy ports on the iMac)
  • The mouse
  • The GUI (copied by Windows)
  • IOS (copied by android)
  • The look and feel of the modern smartphone
  • The bondi blue iMac
  • The iPod
    I could go on and on. Remember Verizon turning down the iPhone in 2007, saying it was going to fail? If the Asian tech companies didn't have Apple to copy from, they'd be SOL...

    It's a tiny group of users compared to the total number of people who bought the laptops but it sure is growing. Even my sister has one of her keys not working. A lot of people don't even report it online and just go get it fixed somewhere.

    But yeah, I totally agree with your point. Apple often introduces change which it gets thrashed for only to be copied later. haha!!
