I'm so happy this guy is no longer in charge of designing Apple devices. They were among the most beautiful computing devices ever made.... at the cost of usability, durability, repairability, reliability.
They're far from perfect even now on these aspects, but there are tangible, non-trivial improvements already (except on repairability for now, but one can dream...)

- bborud 5y agoJony Ive without Steve Jobs is what evolution looks like when you have dysfunctional selection. I'm not sure Ive is even a notable designer unless paired with someone who can filter and guide him. At least this is what the body of work after Jobs' death suggests to me: laptops that are increasingly nice to look at but, at times had faults that didn't justify their existence(). () Philippe Starck once pointed out that the world contains enough "things". Beauty isn't sufficient to justify the existence of things we make; when you make new things they actually have to deserve to exist. And I fully agree. Whole generations of Apple laptops didn't deserve to exist.
