I have to imagine that he's going to have the biggest non-solicitation clause ever in history.
He's partnering with Marc Newsom and others... who he's collaborated with heavily in the past for Apple Watch (and other one-off auction products, etc).
Jony's got to be tired of designing with the Apple aesthetic after all this time, and maybe wants to design a car or toaster again.
- pdpi 7y ago> Jony's got to be tired of designing with the Apple aesthetic after all this time In many ways, I'd argue that vice-versa is just as true. My understanding is that thin-at-all-costs is largely an Ive directive.
- wmf 7y agoJony Ive defines the Apple aesthetic and he has already changed it multiple times (bondi blue, white plastic, aluminum & glass) so he could change it again if he wants.
- atonse 7y agoYes but they'd still be computers, with computer-use-case constraints.
- metafizikal 7y agoI agree, I bet this is about designing non-computer products for him, but it looks like he'll still have some level of input on Apple products as an external consultant.
- h3throw 7y agoHe's going to agree to one after leaving? As a part of severance?
- wmf 7y agoYeah, more likely he already has various clauses in his contract. But since his new company is doing business with Apple they could also add conditions to that deal.
