photo.jpeg/Shutterstock Apple's butterfly keyboard was one of the company's biggest blunders. It cost them $50 million in a class-action lawsuit because the design was prone to breaking from even specks of dust or bits of fluff. It really was a rare moment of failure for the company after its 2000s revival. There were plenty of issues with the company's hardware, particularly when, now the  former chief design officer for Apple, Jony Ive , had gained more authority over designs. The Magic Mouse has its charging port on the bottom, and between 2016 and 2021, the company seemed deathly afraid of anything not USB-C. All of these persisted, but the butterfly keyboard was completely phased out sooner than later, as Apple effectively admitted defeat on it. Fitted to MacBooks between 2015 and 2019, the butterfly keyboard was also given the boot in 2020, when Apple ditched Intel for its in-house processors. Why is that?…
