Other controversial decisions include the removal of the iPhone's headphone jack, the introduction of the MacBook Touch Bar, the fragile butterfly keyboard, the buttonless iPod Shuffle, and the $700 Mac Pro wheels. These choices highlight Apple's tendency to prioritize aesthetics and innovation, sometimes at the cost of practicality.
