it does look better for me and many others. That design is superior imo.
Got a tip for us?

Gosh, it really does look so much better and easier to figure out how to use it...i forgot.
Actually, there are a lot of missing persons (or robots?). It’s not all about Ive. There are others who work there.
“According to Ive, he's at Apple for the long haul. He continues to see a lot to do with Apple, and is happy with the team that he works with.”
Ugh. Sorry, but Ive lost his mojo after Jobs died. I appreciate what he’s done for Apple but also detest what he’s done to Apple since then. I realise that he was only ever so great because he had Jobs as his filter, now we are starting to see all his design flaws now that Jobs is no longer there to say no.

The Mac Pro would have been an excellent mainstream 'desktop machine" if targeted at the right groups at the right price. The problem is they tried to throw the machine at the people need performance at all cost and as a result couldn't really deliver. Imagine a Mac Pro with Intels best desktop processor (six cores) and one good GPU. It would of sold to thousands of professionals at $1500 to $2000 who don't need a XEON based high performance workstation.
We need thinner phones, thinner Macs, and thinner iPads. Get to it, Mr Ive.
All you moaning about AirPower, Mac Pro etc, you have to remember Ive designs the stuff, he doesn’t make them work or actually produce them. He’s designed AirPower, we’ve seen it, making it actuallly work seems to be the issue.
Mr. Ives thinness über alles is not good design philosophy.
You get a pretty package but at the cost of non-upgradability and minimal repairability, as well as less than ideal cooling.
It'll look great but will essentially be an expensive throw away item in not too many years.
Plus I just can't stand listening to the drivel that spews out of his mouth.

Unless to retire, I can’t see him leaving . He shines at Apple, his other design work that I have seen him involved in, demonstrates that he will not be put on a pedestal like he is at Apple. Frankly his ego is also too big to move on.
Anyone feel free to prove me wrong and showcase some other designs that he has worked on that demonstrates his ability . I know he did the Leica camera, which he failed to grasp the basic understanding why a camera should have easy to access controls - minimalistic design is BS when it impacts the useability of the device . He is a one trick pony - thin thin thin . I do very much respect his design at apple though, him and apple are a great fit , though I suspect Jobs also reigned him in early in his career, making him understand the user experience comes first ...
Sell the MAC computer division.
Macs are held hostage by Apple who clearly do not want to spend any resources on them. Look at an iPhone and look at a 15" Macbook Pro.
Which has the higher profit margin?
Macs are dead unless they are broken off and sold to a Dell or HP who would be thrilled with their profit margins.

Lack of AirPower or Mac Pro is Tim’s fault . The appropriate question is, who is influencing Tim to make these product decisions
Because these type of pieces are usually puff pieces, with probably preapproved questions.
Ive is a rare interview and asking anything difficult would mean Wired would never get a high ranking Apple official again...
Ive: "If you lose that childlike excitement, I think then it's probably time to do something else.
Wintour: "So do investors need to panic soon" (edited for clarity)
Ive: "Oh goodness, no."

Yeah the hundreds of thousands of people who follow rumor sites do; the other 7 billion people on the planet have no idea.
Those drop shadows. OOF.
What always bothers me is when a new Apple product is released at an Apple Event Sir Jonathan Paul Ive(He's a Knight you know!) never seems to be on stage to talk about the product. They play a highly produced video of him talking about the product but he is rarely on stage. I would say he simply doesn't like to do public speaking but then he does stuff like this.
