What it means

An image of a black Samsung flip phone is paired with a fictional 2005 email from Steve Jobs to Jony Ive and Bas Ording. Jobs suggests copying the phone’s circular keypad onto an iPod-style clickwheel, humorously imagining an absurd early design for an Apple phone. It is shared as a reaction to overcomplicated product design or as a joke about Apple’s design process.
