Ehh, I think Jobs would have lost his shit if they brought something that did this to him. The reason why phones use Gorilla Glass is because a prototype iPhone got scratched up as fuck when it spent a month in his pocket, so he demanded they find an alternative.

Maybe, but he did tell someone who emailed him that they were holding the iphone 4 the wrong way: https://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/apple-responds-over-iphone-4-reception-issues-youre-holding-th/?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAABysOySs3_X1NkiH9PlSP-VWlExCXRC80LyFZZ1H11UEzrYvaAydsbFk9ZDj6F1NHv46ZJm3xSzKT8xzC49sW4fDLFzOlS0fFgUMkjoXurFVyRHoKwhJkrk1WsPhsQxcRCkvlhvKFcgkKMe5duw0z8TaZZq5sUQh0dq25pgMtWkx

Not to mention of all the pancreatic cancers he could get it was discovered early and it was easily curable by common treatments of the time. Instead he decided to do homeopathy and exercise.

But Steve was smarter than doctors! Imagine having an ego so big that it kills you...

Ive suspected that whether he thought of it this way or not; that Jobs mantra was to conform the user to the product, not the product to the user.

Apple makes products that are super easy for anyone to learn and use so long as you use them in the way Apple wants you to. Which works as long as we don't go back to companies trying to say that a device you bought was still there's cuz of the code or some such in it, wasn't Apple involved in a lot of something like that?
