People here love to hate Joni, because they are actually so fk-ing jealous of him.
He and Steve was so similar and yet each others totally opposite, that’s why they just clicked and understood each other as they did.
Fully understood why Joni left Apple. I never liked and would’ve been able to work with someone like Tim either if I were him, after been a mate with Steve so long.
He should’ve left earlier and not compromised himself though.
Wish him only the best, as he was and is the best of his kind.

I cringe every time I see this coat tail riding clown. What a hack Ive is. "Unapologetically plastic".
I like Johnny Ive’s various designs for Apple products.
Intriguing, yet with most people already plugged into their smartphones and smartwatches, what could this hardware element be? A ring, a necklace or what? It would need to be even smaller and more portable than what we already have to be useful, IMO.
Which is unfortunately expected and truly sad as Ive deserves a TON of CREDIT for his role in Apple's massive success developing the many products Apple's roughly 1 Billion customers (many repeat) use day in and day out.
Without Ive Apple would have been just another beige pc company.
Some people just need to hate on others who are creative and successful in order to feel empowered and good about themselves.
That is factually not true. The Kings Coronation design was done by IVE and it’s anything but simple. Like I said earlier. A lot of irrational hate on Ive.
Always amusing that most people on this site still can't get his name right.
It’s actually Johnathon. But often colloquially changed to Jonny. I can’t fathom why you’d even comment on that.
I prefer the Cook era to the Ive era, and I've been with Apple since 2004. He was waaaay too obsessed with thinness and form over functionality, and without Steve to keep him ambition in check, the hardware really suffered.

Haters gotta hate. He’s a genius and he’s still doing more at an international level than anyone on these forums.
Nope different environment, different time. Never said he was ignorant or incapable of learning. I was describing the situation at Apple. He was not good for Apple after Jobs passed.
To be correct, his full name actually is Sir Jonathan Paul Ive.
Especially for those who act as spell checkeckers, and have nothing intelligent to add.
I knew this thread would go in this direction 😂
So happy for him that he left Apple, they don’t deserve him.

When Ive left in 2019, Apples total value was $1.3 Trillion. In 4 years it has more than doubled to $2.7 Trillion. Tell us again how bad a job Cook has done with Apple?
And good riddance to Forstall. He buggered Maps up from the start, couldn't work alongside anyone and thought he was Steve Jobs Mark ii
You found Wikipedia! Top notch work!! 🙂
Actually, who cares where the info comes from? Putting people down for using the internet isn’t the smartest thing I’ve seen. Any thread on Ive brings out the haters.
I was being sincere. I really appreciate that sort of investigatory intelligence. And we get it, you love J.I. It is well understood by now.
Without Ive, Apple is now releasing the same phone every year.

Oh, I see. If a company makes subpar products but makes an astronomic amount of money doing so, then that is better than making the highest-quality products while only making a fraction of the money. Got it.

Tim Cook wouldn't have been able to do this if he was CEO of Samsung. Tim is simply lifting of the success put in place by Jobs and Ive, who created the "Apple cult".
Take a look at the latest iPhone 15 Pro Max. All Tim Cook did was steal 2 super old Android features, yet the iPhone 15 Pro Max is now almost pushed back to December. It's only because of that Apple logo.
Even the analysts are shocked the iPhone 15 Pro Max is selling this crazy, because they also saw that the upgrade was not very good + inflation + people's savings are being slashed in the current economic climate. That is the power of the Apple logo that Steve Jobs and Johny Ive created.
