> That fat Nano was quirky. It was also, in hindsight, obviously a mistake. I’m quite sure that inside Apple there were designers and product people who thought it was a mistake before it shipped. Steve Jobs shipped it anyway, surely because his gut told him it was the right thing to try. Tim Cook’s Apple doesn’t make mistakes like that.
Look, I'm willing to accept a certain level of fanboyish Apple defense, especially from Gruber. It does seem like a bit of a stretch to say the fat iPod Nano was a failure for selling 10 million+ units but the Vision Pro somehow wasn't a mistake by comparison.
