The iPhone event! Reactions and analysis of the iPhone 17, 17 Pro, and Air; the Apple Watch Series 11, SE 3, and Ultra 3; and the AirPods Pro 3.

@atpfm Regarding the ‘it’s how it works’ Jobs quote, I’ve heard some maintain they were leaning on *hardware* design and had little to say about software like liquid glass, Siri, Apple Intelligence. Since y’all at @atpfm are developers, your natural focus is on *software* design and incredulous Apple would use the quote. I see Apple side-stepping the principle that good design is hardware and software integrated together.
@wktenbrook @atpfm
Yet another sign that Apple has abandoned software design as a differentiating factor and competitive advantage, treating it more like a cost center.
@wktenbrook @atpfm agreed. Given that the entire hour+ afterward repeated the hardware design platitudes, it didn’t even occur to me that they might be referencing liquid glass
