Ive worshiped at the altar style over substance and looks over usability at all cost. The fact that Apple basically threw out all his 'innovations' for the new Macs speaks volumes. One of the most over rated, over hyped and of course over paid tech person ever.

> The fact that Apple basically threw out all his 'innovations' for the new Macs speaks volumes. Jony Ive did incredible work at the core of absolutely iconic products-- iMac, iPhone, iPod, iPad --- and is a key figure in Apple's overall beloved laptop designs. Yes, in the past few years, since a bit after becoming CDO--- he went a little too far in on "form over function" (touch bar, no ports, butterfly keyboard)-- and Apple's reversal of these things is a good thing. But that hardly erases the rest of his legacy reaching back through all of Jobs-era Apple.
