So, what was “implicit” in my statements is fair game for criticism, but what was “implicit” in your statements isn’t.
I understand now.
I never said one word about the Touch Bar, formerly the Magic Tool Bar.
I never said one word about whether I thought the “Magic Keyboard” concept was good, bad, or indifferent, only that the word “magic” isn’t a particularly appropriate description for anything that has been (or will be) created by the efforts of man, no matter how good it might be.
Obviously, some marketing people would disagree.
But actually I think it’s a great idea, it’s just not one that is totally new. For example, one physical keyboard could serve the entire world market, regardless of language. Anyone who has to operate in multiple languages would love it.
Perhaps you should ask 100 people on the street who carry iPhones whether they think that the phone or any aspect of the phone’s operation is “magic”. I’m betting that not one will say that it is.
I think you might be surprised in your bet. I think you'd lose. Just a quick search of the word "magic" in user comments on iPhones brought up quite a few hits. . .
"iPhones are like magic. People who don't believe that have never had occasion to use them. Magic people Magic!"
