I think the only time there's ever been a single sku of a major apple product in the last 20 years was the original ibook, even the rev a imac you could get bigger hd and more ram

e: wait it came in 2 colors, maybe the ipod?

even i have to laugh at the romanticized version of apple history

myth: steve hated SKU's

truth: iBook and iMac were all about coming in various colours, there were even limited edition ones and special education editions


myth: microsoft at an apple event! steve would not stand for it

truth: steve had bill gates on video stream to give apple a couple hundred million and announce office for OS X (or w/e)

but were there 36 individual variations on a single product at the same time?

also, was there a newly announced product that would be directly competing with another line of products?

I think it's true that apple has more skus than they need but I don't think it's true that they'll get in trouble for having so many, they do good research and infinite foxconn slave mines means they can quickly adjust supply without losing sales or having to close out unpopular models

the problem is they're loving up their own ui model and burying features beneath increasingly complex and unintuitive interactions, you know, like google does

instead of say coming up with an innovative way to present them that isn't complete poo poo, you know, like apple used to do

it's just shortcuts for things you can already do

bad model strategy: sell imacs in 5 colors, force retailers to buy all 5 in equal numbers [this led to cheap pink imacs sitting on shelves for years]

3d touch seems to be apple's brand name for the new ui widgets and behaviors based on force touch (the underlying pressure sensitive tech)
