- tedivm 1y agoHonestly once Jobs died most of what Ive did was ruin existing products, such as the butterfly keyboard and the removal of all of the useful ports from their laptops.
- skellera 1y agoHe also ruined the Vision Pro on his way out. Engineers wanted to do wireless to a Mac mini-like hub (not standalone) so the hub could have more computing power. It’s a dev device that was supposed to be the very best experience for developing the future standalone AR/VR device. But Ives forced them to do full standalone. Increasing weight, decreasing power, wasting time re-engineering the device.
- emrah 1y agoJobs directing, filtering, complementing Ive was clearly the winning combination.
- zombiwoof 1y agoAlso remember Ive didn’t even plan for the watch to be fitness he wanted high end fashion. He’s not always the best. Lighting struck once and he says aluminum in a smart sounding way, give him a billion

- te_chris 1y agoHe macbooked an existin piece of design excellence. I get that that was the brief, but ooosshhh. As a CMO once said to me: you don't want to hire me, you want me 5 years ago, so hire X
- bcoates 1y agoLol at the loving description of the manufacturing process for plywood (I think technically pressure-treated oriented strand board, but, you know, plywood)
- maronato 1y ago$60k for a record player that looks like a record player. idk, I expected a bit more risk-taking and creativity given the price and exclusivity.
