I only love the parody if his old shitty marketing videos. He always seemed like a pretentious individual and that's relative to Apple right now, and that says a lot.

Jony Ive retakes Management of Apple's design team
- Thread starter infiniteloop
- Start date
I want to believe that Ive's return to day to day control will give us a redesign that is something far better than:
That's been spreading over the last few iterations.... but after seeing his guest cover for Wallpaper Magazine...
...I'm not gonna hold too much hope.

There a great video by Android Authority explaining why Apple are so far ahead in term of processing power, and it boils down to Apple jumping on a 64 bit architecture much sooner than everybody else. That gave them a head start in CPU architecture, but also in term of developing software. Their silicon dies are the biggest in the industry as well, so it makes sense on a $800 to be able to put something like that in a phone, but that's not very feasible on android. But like PCs, phones have hit a diminishing returns in term of appreciable differences when it comes to speed in UI and other none demanding tasks. While it's nice to have the extra performance with iPhone, it's not necessary to be able to have an enjoyable experience. Also processing speed is only one factor of several equally important factors in someone's experience with a phone or a device. Your point with just using the iPhone 5s is moot because of that.
He's been gone?? Jesus Christ, that makes so much sense. Please make me start liking iPhones again.
I've had both Android and iPhones forever. I currently own both. I like the Essential's notch as well.
Sometimes you just like what you like.
Yeah and I'm an Android user at the moment.
I prefer it to the top/bottom bezels of all the other phones.
That is a super good point that I hadn't considered, they could totally rebrand TouchID as something else when they move it behind the screen.
How long after Ives' return d'you think we'll see the effects? Surely not as soon as the 2018 iPhones? I'm on a 6 right now and I can't afford anything new but I'm just wondering how long I might have to save up (assuming he actually fixes anything)
uh its not aesthetics, its there because it has to be. They is a lot of technology packed into that area. They'll probably shrink it considerably in the next 2 iteration.
The design is there whereby they could have pushed the notch from edge to edge while making the phone taller by same mm as the notch height but the design element was purposeful to have the display date like time and battery on the outer edges while the focal display under it
Shit like this is silly. Ever think that Apple wants to make its designers happy, so they don't leave? There were rumours Jony wanted to step back from Apple, until he had the opportunity to design the new campus and store experience. These talented people still want new opportunities and experiences, not constantly iterating the same thing over and over. The design of Apple products have not taken a drastic turn down and I am sure Jony still had a large say in everything that has come out the past 2 years. He may just not have been there everyday.
I love it for the discussions. If you can't admit that the mouse having a charging port on the bottom is one of the most unwieldy, baffling and ugly ass design decisions in years then I can basically write you off as an evangelist that refuses to see wrong in anything the company does. That's just asinine, and had literally any other company designed it we would all be allowed to laugh heartily without anyone getting uptight about it.
