I mostly agree with everything you've wrote.
The interesting thing is, that Microsoft is implementing more and more of Linux pieces into Windows...
I see what you did there.....I thought Ive would stay with Apple forever... through thick and . . . thin
We’ll just have to see how true his “genius” really is once he starts trying to sell things without the Apple halo. Let’s see how much the public desires silvery Christmas trees, laptops with a microwave oven flat surface type interface, roombas you have to turn over in order to charge, chairs with a hard glass seating surface, etc.

You can’t have both face recognition and full-screen display. Pop-up thing just adds a failure point. Stuff under display is inefficient. You can’t look to the left while looking to the right.
Pre-2012, I bought an average of a Mac every 18 months, alternating desktop and laptop all the way back to the 90's. Since 2012, I bought a 2017 MBP, which I absolutely hate and it is my last mac. My 2011 MPB is for sure the best computer I've ever owned. The 2017 is among the worst.
I bought an iPhone XR last year and a 7 before that, only because I needed another phone in my family each time. All the phones going back to the 4 are still in use in my family. The XR is the worst iPhone I've ever owned. The narrow screen is horrible for web browsing, and many websites render in landscape with text hidden behind the notch and don't allow me to shrink the page, so I'm stuck with a super-tiny portrait mode which sucks even more because it's so narrow. The XR is the first iPhone I have ever truly hated. I'm not yet ready to call it my last iPhone, but if someone else gets their act together on privacy in the next couple of years then it's my last iPhone.
FYI, the spelling (and pronunciation) Aluminium is the traditional British spelling and pronunciation, but the variant spelling (and pronunciation) Aluminum has appeared in various American dictionaries since Noah Webster's 1828 An American Dictionary of the English Language. The American Chemical Society adopted the Aluminum spelling in 1925, though by that time, the popular shift had already taken place.
The British spelling follows classical rules like other languages, that is the point.

Design itself is subjective pal.
And I guess you aren't an Apple watch fan but its already changing peoples lives and no competitor has come close in 4 years. In fact Android wear is on its death bed. Hard to have an integrated wearable OS when you have an entirely fragmented ecosystem of devices out there.
So many cry babies here and so many people not realising that nothing will essentially change.
Instead of being paid he will be billing Apple. He will do his own stuff and won't be constraint by Apple's policies.
Apple will be his main client and pretty much everything will be the same.
You guys are reading to much into this. Its a natural progression and I'm surprised that he lasted this long. Another man of his status and talent would most likely be already gone so the fact that he lasted 30 years is impressive.
I like him but I also agree that some of his choice were missteps but this isn't really changing much. Its just logistics, nothing else.

I came to loathe him for what he did to OS X and iOS.
This, bring him back for Software Design and Interface.
Not so shocking news but it was inevitable, I'll definitely miss his voice-overs. His probably leaving Apple with a few years of designs Apple can go along with and I think Apple will most likely consult with him on ideas and whatnot in future however it will be exciting who comes in and what new designs they can bring.
Maybe we might see a Jony Ive Edition production haha

polite way of getting fired. he's had some duds lately, this is a way of stripping him of any power at apple.
People forget that iOS 6 has the best Music App ever created it was so user friendly and also pleasing and fun to use...it just worked perfectly and allowed you to see your Full Album artwork. All this under Scott Forstall. Just saying!!!
Today’s music app is so awful and has been for a long long time. It had to switch to Cesium and never use Apple’s anymore.
