So because of that you can totally predict his opinion on the iPhone X design?
This is stupid.

Nobody is saying, total prediction. But come on now ..... the notch is too damn obvious. Steve Jobs would have at least made sure to only display software that works around the notch. But having the notch cut off a piece of a software/game button at the presentation is ridiculous.
I think you have others who use Steve Jobs as leverage to show their disapproval of the iPhone and they try to speak for him, when that man was so unpredictable in so many ways, no one could speak for him today. Apple is Apple, and this is what they have given us for a new iPhone. It's just a matter of somebody supporting it or choosing another option throughout the iPhone lineup
Or a competitor device.
If Jobs was here he would have gotten 5h!t done, either with the current group or their replacements.
So he would be okay with parts of onscreen apps buttons being cut off? Is that even a possibility?
If Jobs were here, the X wouldn't even be good enough as a prototype
I don’t know how anybody could believe they know the answer to this “question”.So he would be okay with parts of onscreen apps buttons being cut off? Is that even a possibility?
If Steve Jobs were alive we would be receiving real iPhone upgrades at $699 instead of a $999 ripoff phone and a $699 average phone. We wouldn't be paying more for iPhone or iPad upgrades
I don't know how anybody would expect Steve Jobs to say "Sure, go ahead and present the game which the notch noticeably covers a piece of the onscreen button".
They could have easily choose to present a game or app that works around the notch. Whether you like the notch or not, that was a very avoidable failure moment in the presentation.
TBH that keynote didn't really seem that enthusiastic to me like last years. Phil and the others seemed a little muted to me throughout the keynote. Add in that game error and FaceID failure and it wasn't really a memorable iPhone release imo. Or maybe the leaks just spoilt us for months on end so the real thing seemed rather anti climatic
They seemed more anxious vs the usual excitement. I truly hope there is nothing to read into that.
We knew him from his keynotes, books, movies, and interviews. That is sort of like knowing Steve Jobs.
Notifications (especially Missed Calls and Text messages) are Top Priority on a phone. The first thing any person should see when getting out their devices is what they missed when they were using it. Sorry that you don't want your phone to function like a phone.
You did not know him personally. You weren't there when he left Apple the first time, nor when he neglected ownership of his own daughter, nor the decisions made before or after the keynotes, nor his daily routines at Apple. Nothing within his Keynotes, books, movies, and interviews should tell you what he thought about current designs. Even his colleagues couldn't figure him out at times.
What onscreen app buttons being cut off? Apps have not been optimized for X as of yet.So he would be okay with parts of onscreen apps buttons being cut off? Is that even a possibility?
Is it really that much of a big deal? doesnt bother me at all..
thank you lol
Look at my previous post.
I know, but you make sure the apps that are being presented are optimised.
They had no problem making sure they only shown video clips that fill up the display with it's new aspect ratio. Don't see why getting a developer to have an app ready for presentation would be difficult.
We'll never know for sure. Remember the
I don't know, the bar is not there just for show. It has an actual function. The lines on the antenna band of the iPhone 4 come to mind, he very clearly stated in the keynote that the lines weren't very Apple but that they were a necessary part of the antenna system. He could very well have agreed with the notch.

It's probably tough to give an inspired, excited presentation when you know your audience already knows most of the details.
Steve would be cracking the whip! So much of what you see would never materialize under Steve in top health.
I think some people here fervently watch "Fear The Walking Dead" so they can be on the look out for Steve. With so many people digging him up all the time on here, he is probably in the Zombie crowd somewhere crying out to be put back in the ground, as he plays with his new Note 8.
What's your point?
It's a crap idea on the 6 (which also has it) and all following iphones as well.
Apple often make stupid decisions lately. This blind need to defend their screw-ups will only lead to further screw ups. If a company really makes bad decisions we need to let them know its not good enough.
As to "if steve was alive", i think it's relevant. The current leadership seem to hold Steve with such reverence and dedicate stuff to him, etc. but they're really screwing with his vision in my opinion.
The current designs would have never passed final QA (i.e., Steve himself) when he was still running the show. Steve just didn't tolerate crap.
