The belief that companies, especially technology companies, know what the customer wants before the customer does. This was pioneered by Steve Jobs when he was CEO of Apple. His famous quote was, “Some people say, Give the customers what they want." But that's not my approach. Our job is to figure out what they're going to want before they do. I think Henry Ford once said, "If I'd asked customers what they wanted, they would have told me, 'A faster horse!'" People don't know what they want until you show it to them. That's why I never rely on market research. Our task is to read things that are not yet on the page.“
This law was used to launch products that consumers had never thought of such as iTunes and iPhone and they worked spectacularly because consumers actually enjoyed the products and it simplified their media and daily life for a time.
Today, Steve Jobs Law is a smokescreen by big tech to ram new products and services down our throats without any input by customers and they expect us to immediately adapt the new products/upgrades/services without complaint, use it in our daily lives, and expect us to pay for the privilege. The Steve Jobs Law has now morphed into a totalitarian force within technology where forced adaptation is not only expected, it should be celebrated, and any attempt at customization by consumers that was celebrated previously must be stamped out immediately.

Did I ever ask for this A.I. upgrade on my Microsoft Office? I don’t need this on my spreadsheet or my PowerPoint! I know how to build it to my specifications. But due to the Steve Jobs Law, I, the customer, don’t know anything about technology and how I can use it to my benefit. I am told what is good for me, I am expected to upgrade to it, and I am expected to pay for it!

Get the Steve Jobs Law mug.When you put an apple on a stick and insert it into a woman's vagina while she is in a doggystyle position. While the apple is marinating you grab your funnel and pour liquid caramel into her ass. Remove the funnel followed by the apple. Have the woman squat over the apple and dispense the caramel onto the apple. After the caramel settles you both enjoy a nice candle lit date over a caramel apple.

Get the Steve Job mug.A “Steve Job” is a sexual term mostly used to describe and incomplete sexual act. As if a prostitute were to “stop sucking you off right before you bust a nut” since you never get what you pay for with Apple products.
“I paid that dirty hooker $40 for a BJ and she gave me a Steve Job instead and ran off with my cash!”

Did you hear about Steve Jobs-less over at Company X that required all workers to come back to the office during Covid? Regardless of the fact the company made record profits and higher productivity, all because the President said we should.
As a result, they loss all of their experience workers to other competitors moving away from they old business model and then they suddenly walked back their policy due to revenue loss. They knew they never needed their workers to be the office in the first place, especially with the type of work they do. It’s ridiculous.
