Jobs has been dead for almost 15 years, he's already had plenty of time to prove himself. By the time he left Apple he was known for his obsession with thinness at the cost of function (if not straight up ruining the product), such as that stupid keyboard design from the late 2010s that sucked to type on, had failure rates comparable to the Xbox 360's RRoD, and was somewhere in the ballpark of $700 to repair because the ridiculous thin construction didn't allow for individual keys to be replaced.
- vaxman 1y agoIve designed bathroom fixtures before Apple and had been parked at Apple making the dumbest looking computers you can image for a very long time until my Dad's lifelong coworker brought Steve back --something I am on record telling people would be the only thing that would save Apple's arse (usually adding that Hell would freeze over before that happened). When Steve returned, he found all they had left was an ability to make laptops and so, the race was on to surround them with fixtures..enter his old pal Jony Ive. In the time since, things got a bit out of hand (pun intended) with the Vision Pro, he's moved on and Tim Apple figured out a way to get all the R&D money back...but did Ive just land $6B+ for incarnating "Dr. Theopolis"? Yes, https://youtu.be/1ZCxXjDlaf8 https://youtu.be/1ZCxXjDlaf8 yes, I think he did... Good on Him! :D
