Considering Rams' has gone on record saying Ive is one of the few to design products according to his (Rams) principles, I'd imagine he's probably pleased for Sir Jonathan.

Oh my, I have rarely seen a Freudian slip more appropriate than that one.

And before you all get hot and bothered, no I don't mean Ive is undeserving,
I am referring to the likes of Gerald Ronson and Tory donor Paul Ruddock…
I think both you and Rams (to his credit, imagine if he had acted like Apple has towards Samsung...) are a bit too modest about how inspiring Rams' work has been for Ives.

The joys of auto-correct being added to Lion. Mea Culpa.
Political awards will always happen and whilst distasteful, shouldn't detract from the deserving on the list.
Jonathan Ive has never hid his love of the work of Rams, nor how inspiring it is for him. You only have to look at the inclusion of his calculator in the original iPhone to see that.
Rams created a design language which Ive (and others) have used. Rams is happy with that - at least according to his interview in the Objectified movie.
...what would we be without traditions, even if not everyone knows the history of them? It's a shame America is slowly losing it's traditions, let's hope other countries keep theirs and we come to our senses (I'm talking mostly of the loss of the spirit of the holidays in America). Good job Mr. Ive, congratulations.
Now you're being modest again. Ive has used more than just Rams' design language. And Rams has been very forgiving about it, which speaks volume about the man. He could have taken a different road. Suing, etc.
Most people who want to know something take the time to research the subject themselves.
Well deserved. He must be one of the youngest awarded the honor in modern British history.
To those slighting the award...it is probably more important in England - and by virtue of the fact most people around world recognize it, around the world, than our (the US') two highest honors, the Congressional Gold Medal and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
I wanted to say you had carte glance in adding it to Urban Dictionary, but I was wrong:

Knighthood is a cool tradition from the days of old, and is deeply rooted in this country's history. I'm not sure why everyone is being so negative toward it.
Unibody armor and edge-to-edge glossy swordImagine what he could do to make armors simpler and more efficient if he designed his own armor!
To correct those who are incorrectly calling him "Sir Ive", the proper form of address is Sir Jonathan.
Glad the mood has become somewhat lighter last few posts because up until then, I thought we'd gone back 235 years to the war of independence. Instead just say congratulations Sir Jony, and crack open a bottle of something special because it's new years eve for crying out loud! Both sides of the Atlantic last time I looked. Happy new year one and all!
