I don't get that one. One could argue Apple does exactly the opposite of that. Technical complexity is usually hidden and there are less fancy features than competitor's products. Compare the first iPod vs. any MP3 on the market at the time.




Right - everything you said is true. I'm highlighting that Jobs as the exception. :-)
