“...tradition in the UK of designing and making....”

Congrats Mr Ive, but don't forget Dieter Rams. ;)
 
His last two Keynotes have been underwhelming. You know its bad when Eddy Cue and Bob Mansfield deliver the most riveting performance of the event.

It's funny how it's only Steve who never sounded like he was just reciting his lines on that stage.
 
I wonder how are samdung and others going to copy apple with a designer that has been Knighted. A lot of folks in the industry must be feeling pretty happy or envious right about now. I hope that is the former.

Good job Sir Jonathan Ive. The world approves regarding you design work.

Yeah lol, it's like he simply woke up, threw on some clothes, and went on stage. Very easygoing manner on stage.

That's why i mentioned Dieter Rams. Jonathan Ive is unfortunately not the origin/inventor of the unique :apple:-design.

BUT: he has perfected it!
 
"The humble Ive, who notably almost always uses "we" rather than "I" in discussion of Apple's design process"

Quite a contrast with our narcissist President Obama.

More Apple idol worship? This article is so slobbery I need a towel.

Seriously. I'm a "Knight" too. (ebay purchase).
 
Ah yeah!

Is it just me or does he look like the chubby boy from Willy Wonka in that picture? An older version...

Looking a little bloated, but cheer up fans, it'll happen to all of us as we age,:eek:

Samdung made me laugh! That said, my 55" LED has been problem free for the
Last 2.5 years, stunning screen, can't beat a Samsung LED TV:cool:
 
All kidding aside, I greatly admire this man, he was good friends with Steve, each had a great deal of respect for each other,we're very good friends.
All his talk throughs after each product release, always peaked my interest, he clearly LOVES what he is doing, as much as his love for His home England.
He'll retire early, and go home, very rich, very well respected.
Mr "Sir" Jonathan Ive has a few :apple: years in him yet, God bless, God Speed:apple:

Damn, I thought we'd be able to go a whole thread devoted to Jonathan Ive without someone adding an 's' to his name.
 
According to the BBC: 'The Queen is meeting hundreds of leading cultural figures at one of the most glittering gatherings of actors, writers and artists the UK has seen.'
Oh and guess what? 'Apple designer Sir Jonathan Ive was invited, just hours after receiving his knighthood.' Guess he will meet the Queen after all.
