Admit wrong, from Apple? Was there acknowledgement of say butterfly keyboards? Seems on brand to quietly walk back an unpopular decision.

> butterfly keyboards

Bear in mind that they forced the butterfly keyboard for years despite loads of users complaining. It took Johnny Ive to leave for Apple to finally fix the keyboard, that's how powerful the detrimental leadership can be at times.

Took them years to move on from their terrible keyboard design without a proper acknowledgement
Unlikely they’ll be walking back the UX and UI changes specifically for their push into spatial and convergent computing.
Yeah I do understand that. It occurred to me right away that getting people used to partial transparency might be explained by the difficulty of doing opaque drawing on heads-up displays.
