Design and software at Apple. Also into AI, philosophy of mind, ethics.

apple was/is years ahead of everyone else but it still takes time to nail the software even when you have full control over hardware. 

first NFC chip in 2014, first developer API to use it in 2017. the list goes on.

Yeah, true. Though the argument was software being behind hardware. I think in 2007 it was possible to build a decent touch screen phone but not nail the software.

notifications stacking as interruptible alerts until 2011

Original iPhone had a camera and couldn’t record video lol
