He used to be responsible though. Until 2011. And even if Steve wanted something batshit insane, he made it work. I've said it elsewhere, but I've suspected (as this article seems to confirm) that he's been coasting / lost the spark he once had a while ago. Designer's and artists have fickle motivation. He clearly fed off of Job's "fuck you, fuck this, this is trash, make it better" style of challenges. Because Job's actually 1) knew when it was a good design and 2) appreciated it. I'm doubtful that the flock of MBAs who took over have that same passion, so Mr Ive has lost his own.
