Part of why OSX and iOS were great was how the appearance of the software/OS was designed to go with the look of the hardware, something which I assume Jony understood and may have been part of why he got more involved with software
Got a tip for us?

Jony Ive Removed From Apple's Leadership Page

The pro max is clearly derivative of the iPhone X, which Ive had a role in designing. Slight thickness changes is hardly a new design.
The “sandwich” iPhone 4 was designed by Richard Howarth, not Ive.
No, it doesn't work like that. Make great products that people love and enjoy using them and the money comes automatically. Steve was always talking about products, almost never about marketshare.
Hate to see Jony go, but he wouldn't stay forever. A company is stronger than one person, Apple will be just fine and his influence will carry on
That Picture says it all. I have the conviction that the core, the raw materials of Apple huge, more than huge, iconic success were the way they products were designed. In that Picture are the member of the CORE design team that lead that made the basis of TC huge success.
It has now became legacy. Who are the members of the design team now? You see, if Apple values still remain and not became legacy /history, I'm sure we would be seeing an emerging force backed up by Mr Tim Cook, right?
I don't see that happening.
What I do see is the competition, such has from Samsung, coming up with bolder designs both in the smartphone and tablet space. I see Apple device prices going up (pumping) while software is becoming buggier than ever. Furthermore, every move seams to be trailing everyone else's move.
Meanwhile the top management team seams to be more interested in Policy, Supply Chain and Pricing (TC words) than anything else. While the tech vision seams to be simply inline with what everyone else knows. No positive surprises, apart from rolling back changes made to the MacBook keyboard. iPad OS its just potential, at the moment its mostly iOS, very few differences is any.
Anyway, will see Apple metamorphosis into.

Good riddence to bad rubbish. His ego has set Apple back YEARS.

That's ******** corperate speak and you know it
Dropping the next beta would have been a better way to say Happy Thanksgiving to customers but sprucing up the website works too.
Always thought it was funny that all the time He was trying to Make Apple products thinner.
Too thin, many many people are now agreeing.
He himself was getting fatter and fatter.
Be interesting to see if now Apple products are getting a little fatter he starts to get thinner!

What doesn't work like that, read my post and the comments I was replying to again, to discover your comments make zero sense...

This is your factually most inaccurate post ever!! Period!!
Tablets? What bold designs? The iPad dominates the tablet space period, perhaps the Surface is the only competitor but that is somewhat of a hybrid. Android tablets have failed.
Ive did great work BEFORE Steve even returned to Apple. The basic design of the iMac was in the design studio before Jobs returned, and that was arguably the most important product Apple released. Apple desperately needed a fresh new hit, and Jobs found it in Jonys design studio waiting to be realized. Without it there would not have been an iPhone.
I think what really happened is Jony became severely impacted by the loss of his best friend. How would you like to go into work every day, reminded of your best friend who died tragically? I think that had a huge impact on his inspiration and ambition to continue working at Apple, having all of the product responsibilities resting on your shoulders. It obviously took a huge toll on him emotionally. I kind of feel like he finished Apple Park just to finish what Steve started, and then that was it for him.
I’m with you. The level of ignorance and arrogance is stunning. I cannot comprehend the degree of blindness that would embolden people who’ve never created anything meaningful to shamelessly criticize and demean people who’ve spent decades delivering wave after wave of innovation that has literally changed the world.

Perfectly said. Thank you ??

Innovation comes from the tension between what is desirable and what is possible. Ive’s industrial designs set the bar and challenged the hardware designers to step up their game. Absent Ive’s aggressive designs we would all be lugging around 2 inch thick laptops and 1 inch thick smartphones — and probably nothing as elegant as the new 16 inch MacBook Pro. Thank goodness for Jony ??

Well, that is how is Brits and the rest of the world pronounce it lol.
End of an era for Apple and us the consumers who have enjoyed his designs. All the best Jony, although he’s still working ‘with’ Apple which many of you have overlooked!
The thicker, more thermally efficient 16" MacBook Pro that was almost certainly developed on his watch over the last 18+ months?

I've been around for quite a while, but I haven't stayed on top of the Apple shakers. I'm not crazy about the new MacPro pricing, and my MacBook/MacBook Pro were duds. Aside from the iPhone, not much else impresses me. Sure, I still buy the AppleWatch/Home & Air Pods; but the distinction that Apple once had is fading.
You can’t be serious about this. Don’t you know how bad iOS is since iOS 7? That was a prime example of form over function and that form wasn’t too good.
