The "digital hub" was a big concept back then. Now it's all in our phone.
He spent two years designing all the furniture and fixtures for Apple Park. Everything from the desks to the door latches.
Jony Ive Officially Leaves Apple
- Thread starter Mcfrank
- Start date
Well they already had the moulds available. it's pretty much the same casing as generation 3. They just had to tweak a few things. Still crazy that they went back after going that thin and light.
A more accurate reading of that article is that the design team was held up by Ive's lack of involvement as they had to wait for his approval.
This. Best designed phone ever.
Second place for me is a tie between the iBook clamshell or the G4 cube.
It was standard on macs and specialized PCs, but back then, unless you got lucky or were mindful to get one on PC, you were out of luck a lot of the time. Unfortunately, I used to have to break the bad news to a number of people trying to download DV footage from their camcorders back in the day. I was very glad when companies moved away from the standard.
Amazing isn't it! I remember just wanting a video camera to make movies with and thinking how unobtainable and expensive they were.
What is this? An Apple store for ants?!G4 Cube, it's so dumb and so awesome at the same time.
I got a 3rd gen iPod as a gift and had to go in search of a IEEE 1394 card (no one wanted to pay to licence that name) for my PC in order to enjoy those high-speed music transfers.
I liked the look of it, but I wouldnt call it a masterpiece since Apple had to give away free cases to make up for the antenna issues.
Almost every thing designed by Ive under Apple had some sort of flaw due to form over function. Off the top of my head, CD drive that was too low and would hit the mouse and keyboard lol
Hopefully now they'll abandon their stupid ass "lets make it as thin as fucking possible" style.
As others have said, it was time.
As a long time Apple fan, I used to be worried about Ive leaving. Now I'm cool with it.

I like the 5 better myself.
I'm excited about the rumors that the next design will look like the 5.
I think they may have. Both the new iPhone and MBP are thicker+heavier than the previous gen to accommodate big batteries.
Good riddance. He became of late self-indulgent and pushed for products with the proverbial form over function.
He will never top the iPhone 5 and the 2012 Retina MacBook Pro.

Thank you Jony for the Magic Mouse 2
ionce had to do that and this on the same day.
The new 16" Pro has the same design as the 2012-2015 model. I mean the ports are still gone and it still has a TouchBar, but it's basically what the last generation should have been.
Not apple related but I loved the Leica camera he designed:
Wouldn't have paid $2m for it though!

Can we have ports now?
I still use my 2010 MBP.
He designed some gorgeous stuff, i'll give him that.
I still use my 2010 MBP.
Pretty sure my FireWire iPod came with this.
yep it did. still have mine

And except for the iphone, obviously.
You wouldnt want to plug your apple laptop into your apple phone with the same cable you use for everything else.

I thought you meant the iPhone X had design problems because they didn't ask Ive for his input, but it seems like because they had to wait on his approval for certain things it delayed them.
It was a similar connector, but there's no chance it was IEEE 1394. Development of the standard was nowhere near finished, and the controller would have been more powerful than the GameBoy itself.
I know there's USB to FW adapters out there because there was a minor riot when all the hardcore audio people were left out in the cold during the switch-over
This will never happen. The laptop industry is now chasing thinness in thesame way that Apple have.
This is fantastic thanks laughed the entire way hahhahahahahahahhaha
Honestly which is why it would be a brilliant idea to pivot to something else.
It's listed in this article: https://www.dezeen.com/2019/06/28/jony-ive-designs-apple-imac-ipod-iphone/
But, I can't say I'm certain. Man, I had forgotten about the original iBook. That sure was something:
This looks like a toilet seat.
