Former Apple Design Chief Jony Ive Shares His 12 Favorite Tools of the Trade

It's not. Stanley is in imperial units, and the Hermes one is in metric. I've been trying to find a good metric tape for a while, and can't (meaning Lowes and Home Depot don't carry them, and the only one I liked off Amazon US wasn't even accurate). Not that I'm about to spend $530 on one.

I have one like the BMI VISO Window Tape Measure, but with a different name. Very nice, the window makes interior measures easy as well as it does circular drawing.

Now we know where the Air Tag design was inspired from

I would love to watch a documentary or docudrama that goes into great depth on the early years of Jony Ive through the iPhone and iPad because I feel like after that point he kind of went off the deep end, but I want to know more about what the design process was like at Apple in the late 90s.
 
A Hermès measuring tape and a platinum-plated eraser?

If you ever had any doubt that Ive is a completely self-absorbed designer out of touch with the realities of the average person, this is it.

I had little respect for him already. I have even less than that now.

Christ he looks my dad reading the Drudge while taking a morning dump.
Or like a Surrey thug gone legit later in life.

You and your dad would be well advised to buy some tools so you can put the door back on your bathroom or you should stop shaving in there when he is on the toilet.

He was so obsessed with the beauty and the joy of the machines and tools that he sometimes forgot to shave, shower, or even get dressed before showing up to a meeting two hours late.

And forgot to keep the mag charger.
 
The next time someone ask me "what do you mean when you say 'bougie'?"

I will direct them to this list.

This is hilarious, no wonder he spent a bunch of time at Apple designing a Leica camera...the jewelry of the camera world. I'm surprised they haven't made him an executive. They are cut of the same cloth. Glad he's gone and I get to have a Macbook with an SD card reader again.

Yup. It seems as time went on, his form beat up his function
