The Rise and Fall of the Apple Newton

This chapter explores the rise and fall of the Apple Newton, a handheld personal digital assistant that faced criticism for its limitations and design choices, like the failed handwriting feature. It delves into Steve Jobs' strong aversion to styluses and his emphasis on touch-based devices for universality.
