Ive was never meant to be a manager. This is what led to him leaving Apple. The man is a creator and was at his best for Apple when doing just that. How many product designers of the 21st Century can say that the things they created directly influenced the lives of the entire planet? Every other phone looks like the iPhone 4; Ive's DNA is in every handset made by rival companies.
I would argue that nobody at Apple had the guts to stand up to him and tell him what a mess he had become as a manager.
I know. I was kind of baffled to see a tone arm listed but no stylus and no turntable. If I’m not mistaken Linn has a turntable system, they do, that comes with said Tonearm and stylus and everything else you’d need to $30k but saw a turntable that was going $200k doing a basic google search.No mention in that list that he owns a turntable so why the $5,600 Linn tonearm? We'll never know.
Your post is definitely subject to debate with your chosen adjectives, but he used his articulation and accent to hype marketing for Apple products in a way that made them sound very prestigious (Which Apple is as a ‘brand’), similarly to his narration with the Apple Watch design when it first launched. Regardless, he wasn’t just a ‘designer’, he was a marketing genius. And good at it I’ll add.I miss his videos. For me, his pretentious pomposity is highly entertaining.
Omg, what a load of cr@p to justify such expensive things!
Also a fan of Wiha and Wera amongst others, including Tekton who's torque wrenches cost about 10% of what that Snap-On cost. And my Stanley tape measure works just fine and was about $10.Nice selection of tools. In general I love Wiha and Wera tools.
I would also add Starrett hook rules, 6", 12", and 24" lengths (or metric equivalents). I use those everyday for a variety of purposes. They are a joy to use.
Bonus points for working in a Fawlty Towers reference.To quote Fawlty Towers: "Pretentious? Moi?"
Shows how detached they are from the regular people that waste their potential on macrumors.comA $530 measuring tape... GTFOH.
He had managed the ID Team for years before to Steve's death...The issue was Tim thinking that can translate to other departments (like UI). I still think the icons/UI choices that came in iOS 7 (and some that are still present) were the ugliest cartoony looking things ever.
It seemed like from other accounts that Steve harnessed Ive's design choices and gave him direction. Looks like as you said, no one stood up to Ive after Steve left in that regard.
Proof that some folks can be brilliant on one level, and complete suckers on another.Imagine rolling out your $530 tape measure and seeing that sweet Stanley logo.

It's made by Stanley, but wrapped in a Hermes leather case ha haA $530 measuring tape... GTFOH.
High-end turntables are often sold without tonearms, to give the customer the option of selecting the tonearm separately.No mention in that list that he owns a turntable so why the $5,600 Linn tonearm? We'll never know.
Ha, except it's simply a Stanley tape measure wrapped in a Hermes leather case.Below the $500 mark, measuring tapes don't take good measurements.
Could you also imagine going to a tailors to get measured up for a suit, and the tailor, dressed in hi-vis and steel capped boots, pulling out a tape measure from a construction siteI've spent some time on construction sites and I can only imagine the look on everyone's face if I had pulled out a frickin Hermes tape measure lol
This is some pretentious stuff
