- BOOSTERHIDROGEN 3y agoWatch still under Steve, put it in other way, it's last product under his supervision.
- george_perez 3y agoDoesn’t look like it. > Ive began dreaming about an Apple watch just after CEO Steve Jobs’ death in October 2011. He soon brought the idea to Dye and a small group of others in the design studio. https://www.wired.com/2015/04/the-apple-watch/ https://www.wired.com/2015/04/the-apple-watch/
- wahnfrieden 3y agoThat is incorrect, or rather, misleading - maybe Ive didn't join the project until 2011, sure, but it began in 2010. Ive didn't lead all design work yet in 2011, he was still just a VP.
- pulisse 3y agoAirPods, too.
- wahnfrieden 3y agoAirPods weren't a new product category, they were an iteration of the Apple EarPods which looked the same, had the same remote features, etc.
- kstrauser 3y agoI highly disagree about that, especially for the Pros with ANC and spatial audio. EarPods were nice wired earphones. AirPods seem like way more of a leap than just EarPods-but-wireless.
- wahnfrieden 3y agoIf those features defined new product categories, they wouldn't have replaced existing AirPods with "3rd generation" (non-pro) AirPods that have spatial audio and ANC in the upcoming 4th generation. They're iterative features on an existing product category.
