Jonny Ive made a lot good decisions in the days when he worked for Jobs, but my theory is that Jobs kept him from being a complete idiot. Tim Cook lost control of him and it went downhill massively after that.
- egypturnash 4y agoThe lure of only having two ports, both of which are identical, and can be used for absolutely everything, is powerful. It’s pretty cool to take the laptop home and plug in one single cable to hook it up to my desk, though it’s really only a few seconds less than separate power, usb, and audio cables once you figure out how to keep them from getting lost under the desk.
