How is using magnets a “new button”?

Disabled folks who can’t fasten buttons have been using magnet closures for a while. This guy adds the ability to decorate it and that’s a new button? They had changeable button covers for fun in the ‘80s.

“There wasn’t some arrogant ambition around disruption [of buttons],” Ive told the outlet. “It was a very gentle, humble exploration.”
