Maybe this is the start of the purge that is needed?
For what? Apple's version of the Galaxy Fold debacle? Or perhaps "innovations" like the MS Kin?

Ah, you beat me to it. Immediately on reading the article, I wanted to vent my frustration at this pathetic "form ahead of function", that robs us of good keyboards, and stops them giving matte anti-glare screens to those that need them.
Good riddance to these people. Glad their names are published. Name and shame them.

Uh oh! Don't tell Jony his crew is 'thinning' out...![]()
The last truly groundbreaking product from Apple was the iPhone. And before that the iPod, preceded by the candy iMacs. It's been a long time of simply adding features to existing products. Stagnancy of invention and you become a seller of consumer widgets, and then media subscriptions? How boring.
A good opportunity to employ someone from the "Steve Jobs school of design":
"Design is how it works."
With emphasis on "it works". Also known as "form follows function".
Make the things work properly first, then beauty will follow by itself.
I actually like my iPad better than my iPhone.
iPad is by far my favorite Apple product.
No it doesn't. It means releasing a defective product that tarnishes the Apple brand, like Apple Maps did when Forstall was in charge of it.Forstalled actually means to impose an act of negative selection, essentially letting go of the capable ones.

What are you expecting them to ‘design’ that would be totally different? The Apple Watch, the AirPods and the HomePod are all recent designs, do those count? I’d say they do.

But to get to the heart of the matter, I believe these resignations are due to one thing and one thing only: The Samsung Fold. I find it commendable that these gentlemen quit in response to the Galaxy Fold (along with other Samsung innovations). They have my respect.

One for each of the lens positions.24 people and three have gone? Two refusing to say why... this doesn’t look very good..
I agree. The media subscriptions thing is just sad. I mean, magazines? I sometimes glance at the Tech mags on the shelf at the supermarket and ALL of the content is outdated. Youtube is extremely competitive and anything new is there within 24 hours of announcement - for free.The last truly groundbreaking product from Apple was the iPhone.
