"(Well, he did, ... "

That's all I'm saying, really.

I see "simplicity" as orthogonal to the idea that Steve Jobs led a revolution in design. I see the so-called revolution he led as being beautiful hardware enclosures, of all sizes. But this is just my opinion. I expect many would disagree.

I also expect many would not choose to look at these devices past their enclosures and what they see on the screen. From that limited perspective, it certainly looks like Jobs made everything simple. (Me, I think Ritchie and his colleagues did that. They dared to simplify when no one else would. Apple like many others took the ball and ran with it. But unlike many others, they also build hardware that looks fantastic... from a marketing standpoint, this is a winning combination.)
