For one, this ******* doesn't care about the battery life on his creation:

When fools like that make decisions, you have a pretty looking accessory instead of an actual workhorse!
Good article you linked. Thanks.
Joni Ive has become one of the most dangerous problems of apple, not at all someone who makes solutions.
It is not only that his ridiculous thinness-mania gets customers more and more on distance with apple products in daily life - he generates more and mor big problems about reliability: the fact that thinness-mania leads automatically to cooling-problems is now even part of a sort of infamous "tradition" of severe "branded" issues:
If people talk about toasted GPUs, dead notebooks and burned laps, everyone knows what brand you are talking about: APPLE !
The sadly tradition of GPU failures began already in 2007/2008 and is since part of a enterprise-wide ignorance.
Since 2013, when Ive got completely nuts and presented the "trash-can-like" MacPro, he succeded in only one thing: transmission of the since 2008 endemic heat-desease of the MBP line from a former as absolutely well designed, sturdy and reliable and also extremly well servicable and upgradable known CLASSIC MacPro into a "new designed" MacPro line which did not hesitate to get at once infected with the same disease of failing GPUs...
Like always, apple ignored with all its now genetically fixed arrogance the problems, as already with the MBPs years before and risked class action lawsuit - and - as always -just befor losing the case they mad a deal...
So, now apple silently started a so-called "extended repair program" ( which they have been forcd to already for the MBP 2007/8 generation , then 2009 generation, then 2011/2012 generqtion ( just extended a further 10 months) and even begins with the 2013 retina MBP - what a pride tradition lin, isn't it) now beginning as well for the "trash-can-like" new MacPros-line. In the meanwhile customers started to be informed by informed leaking that some of the GPUs used in the trash-can Mac"Pro" line had even to be UNDERCLOCKED (!) to prevent being even more failing machines because of the childish thinness-mania design of Jony Ive with its chronic overheatung problem ... Imagine: UNDERCLOCKING as a engineering-design for a working-horse PRO machine because the chief designer loves to overheat systematically more and more of the products...! One cannot believe it, but it is true!
Jony Ive is perhaps the most overestimated designer of the world, perhaps on par with the clown Phillipe Starck who is nothing but a bad stylistvinstead being a designer - Jony Ive is like the captain of the Titanic: full power ahead! What? There are more and mor icebergs around. Don't car about it, just straight ahead - into the iceberg... Never change the course... Hip Hip Hooray!!!!
There are lots of severe symptoms that are both a shame and very amusing now... Just one of many and the last one, "released" just some days ago:
The new line of "magic" keyboard, touchpad and magic mouse 2 have now non- exchangable) batteries and an
Connector to charge them at the side of them. WAIT! no, the magic mouse2 has the connector UNDER the mouse! You can't use the mouse while you are working with it, although the mouse has the by far shortest battery life... For charging you have to put the mouse upside-down!
There are so much important and embarassing design-issues already existing since years, I could write about them for hours. But evidently apple fanboys like still the "form over function" fashion-style mad by Sandbox-Jonathan Ive... Apple has treated, atvleast forgotten its roots....
