Steve Jobs on Customer Experience

Jobs said customer experience should shape product decisions from the start: begin with what people want, then work back to the technology. Across these recordings, he ties that idea to simple, integrated products, retail help, and seamless ownership, not features for their own sake.

“Start with the customer experience and work backwards to the technology”
“We decided that selling our products was not enough.”
“The buying experience and the ownership experience of owning a Mac is maybe the best of any product I know”
