Like many CEOs, Steve Jobs' primary skills seemed to be motivation and decision making, which means not always being correct and indeed sometimes confidently incorrect. But crucially gives direction & certainty for a company. He also didn't like the idea of third party apps and now iPhones are basically platforms for third party apps to run on.

I never had an iPhone but I think I disabled all haptic feedback on my Android phones and tablets since forever. I find it very annoying. My phone vibrates only to signal messages and calls. BTW, I don't type on the keyboard, I swype so I have less need for feedbacks.
