Or a few weeks before, and it's exactly what resulted in his resignation. I picture it as him wanting yet one more go at salvaging the flawed design, and Cook telling him that he's overruling him because the customers' patience has absolutely run out and the company's reputation is being tarnished by this stupid, little, avoidable thing, so back to a sensible keyboard and damn the thinness.
At which point Ive must have said something like, "Never, not on my watch", and that's when his watch ended.
- angrygoat 7y agoIf this is true, then good riddance. I spent three thousand bucks on a new Macbook and had the keyboard fail within three months, and I still get intermittent problems I can only fix using air in a can. Simply unacceptable when a Dell laptop with better specs would have been significantly cheaper.
- jbverschoor 7y agoWell ivy is a designer. He sees the machines that need to work as a fashion item. His influence was too big after Steve passed away. Steve is technical and design oriented. You can’t simply make pretty things without things to actually work. Macos has been lacking so much as well. Where are the shortcuts etc? All the newer apps are pretty crap in terms of productivity.
- philistine 7y agoI do not want to rain on your parade, but most rumours about Ive leaving Apple believe he had one project since the release of the first Apple Watch. That project being Apple Park. Ive has had a foot out the door for years and stayed because he got to do architecture. So while I think his ideas made the dreaded butterfly keyboard possible, I don’t believe he’s personally responsible for this fiasco.
