Yes. It's the Apple's product first philosophy that Steve Jobs repeated again and again:

"A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them."

"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."

"You can't just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they'll want something new."

"If I had asked customers what they wanted, they would have said 'a faster horse."
