One picture tells you why Apple's hardware design is so elegant

Why is Apple's hardware design so elegant and unique? The answer is simple: Apple pays for it! BusinessVibes today released a statistical table related to Apple employee salaries. The data comes from Glassdoor and is voluntarily disclosed anonymously by Apple employees.

Among Apple employees, the highest paid is the industrial designer, with an annual salary of $167,000, followed by the senior hardware engineer, with an annual salary of $138,000. Other hardware-related positions with annual salaries exceeding $100,000 include product design engineers, mechanical engineers, and hardware engineers.

In general, among Apple employees, the top five paid positions are basically related to hardware design and engineering.

In addition, the salary of senior software engineers is slightly lower than that of senior hardware engineers, and the salary of general software engineers is also lower than that of general hardware engineers. The high salary paid by Apple to hardware and industrial design experts will eventually be reflected in the products, so it is not difficult for us to understand why Apple's hardware design is so different.
