What everyone is getting wrong about the Mac mini’s hidden power button
- Apple's redesign of the Mac mini has been met with criticism about the moved power button.
- The design decision to place the power button on the underside of the Mac mini instead of the back wasn't just about aesthetics.
- Apple's approach to design is “form and function,” believing they go hand-in-hand to create a better experience for the user.
- In creating devices that are beautiful, Apple aims to hide behind-the-scenes elements of the user experience.
- Hiding the power button allows the user to focus on the actual task they are undertaking, rather than being interrupted by the start-up process.
- Apple has put the user experience first, even if it means adding a minor inconvenience that most people won't even notice.
- The company is confident that the benefits of its design choices will be felt every time a user interacts with its products.
- Apple's experience-focused approach is also why the Magic Mouse has an upside-down charging port.
- Apple is betting that the benefits these designs bring will overshadow any minor inconvenience they might cause.
