11. Technology and User Experience
“The reason OS X has a different interface than iOS isn’t because one came
after the other or because this one’s old and this one’s new,” Federighi said.
Instead, it’s because using a mouse and keyboard just isn’t the same as tapping
with your finger. “This device,” Federighi said, pointing at a MacBook Air screen,
“has been honed over 30 years to be optimal” for keyboards and mice.*
