That’s not an iPad. Ive came back to design the iPhone 14 Max.
is he looking for the differences between iOS14 & 15
That’s the new JonyIve Pro
I'll laugh if he says he was involved with the design of both. So many have been saying how happy they are he's gone due to these products would be funny if he was involved in bringing them forward.
Something I've been so curious about coming next at Apple is iOS - Ive made iOS7, now that he's gone, how will that change?
But there is a lot!, you have to read between the lines, it says "Last time I checked my bank account I read -There is enough here to feed your spoiled grandsons so stop wasting your time working you s****d b*****d!- in it"Can’t wait! Since he doesn’t work for Apple anymore he’ll just talk about random stuff? Decided to check out his website. There’s nothing there. Not even a single picture.
It’s invisible ?

The new MacBook Pros aren't much thicker than the previous models. :-\
Apparently, the HDMI 2.0 was due to lack of bandwidth. HDMI 2.1 would be bottlenecked.
Great industrial design should pit form against function.
However, Apple swung way too far into the form. It's great to see function drive more design.
But that doesn't make Ive's opinions trash. Listening to the designers and creating the right balance is crucial.

Looking back, Jony Ive is a big part of what helped make Apple so successful today, but he was balanced by Jobs. He hasn't had that balance in a long time and it was starting to ruin Apple at worst, and seriously hold them back at best. Ultimately I'm now glad that he's gone. He was minimalism to an extreme so having Apple as a client that can push back is a better balance than having him in charge. The older I get, the more I appreciate everything in moderation. Apple is now moving firmly back to being centered within that intersection of arts and technology. I haven't been this hopeful for the future of Apple in a long time.
If the blurb is any indication, it will be a lot of talking, but saying very little.
WTH did I just read? I just see a lot of hyperbole and marketing speak. It's all sizzle and no steak, y'all.
He looks like Phil Collins memorizing lyrics to his 30 year old hit song

Ivy left Apple over 2 years ago and we STILL don't know what he's working on over at LoveFrom. Impressive that it's been a secret this entire time.
More like he’s looking at a picture of the new Macbook Pro saying, “Why did they make it so fat?!”
Information about LoveForm is incredibly thin.
eh. I used SD cards, micro SD and CF. So I still need a hub. What would have been REALLY nice is if camera makers had made device to device transfer over USB C more common. Then I wouldnt have to be removing and handling memory cards. I haven't used an HDMI port in years. All large/small presentation sites have IT security, so the file is sent ahead of time. If its a small presentation/dumb TV (rare) I just present on my laptop, send out the presentation, or use my phone with lighting to HDMI so I dont have to bring my laptop.
Removing MagSafe was not the greatest, but having ALL my peripherals/monitors/and power through 1 port was amazing.
I think Ive had a few design errors that were a little too ahead of the times or didnt take account everyones needs, but thats what he does. Much like how the iPod, iPad, iPhone, removal of drives, MBA etc were lambasted, thin and light power laptops with minimal ports likely *ARE* the way of the future. Ideally, Apples lineup would be the M2 chip in a 14" MBA and 16" MBA, and 14" and 16" MBPs with M2Pro and M2Max chips. Ive just didnt have M1 chips and customers/peripheral makers were lazy/uninterested.
Many people here saying Ive is about form over function because of his (sic) “obsession with thinness” (let’s forget for a moment he augmented the thickness of the iPhone more times than he reduced it).
They’re sometimes the same ones who dislike the notch because “it’s ugly”, think that Apple should make a foldable (which is really difficult to use with one hand), or that the iPad should run macOS.
And by the way, thinness is also a “function”, there’s a reason why no one buys the 10mm thick phones some people who don’t want a bump advocate for.

That was the goal though, "thinness at all cost". The innovations and designs he came up with to make it thinner can't be denied, but at the sacrifice of usability. Taking away ports because "it didn't fit into his design or vision" is bad design. Yes, there's a lot of thought that goes into it, but it boils down to removing things because it couldn't get it thinner and thinner. That's how we ended up with the disastrous butterfly keyboard. The removal of connectivity to go to "dongletown". The "10 hour battery life" constant. They made their power consumption better and better, but took away more and more battery space to...again, say it with me...make it thinner. I mean, thinness was part of their presentation and advertising! "The thinnest MacBooks yet!".
So no, this isn't reactionary. This is form getting in the way of function. Ive is a brilliant designer, but obviously he needs supervision.
Anna Wintour or ‘Nuclear Wintour’ as she’s known in the rag trade. ‘The Devil Wears Prada Redux’, anyone?
Just to be clear, at Apple he was in charge of what's referred to as "Industrial Design," NOT chips & NOT software.
Many don't know that.
