It'll look like something you'd find at a garage sale but with shiny new paint and rounded corners. And of course, it'll cost $500,000 so they'll only make 1.

“These are the most elegant Aloominium Terminators we’ve ever created and we think you’re going to love them, even if they just want to kill you!”
Looking forward what will come out of this collaboration though.
Ive's talent is more then a good case for an iPhone or something like that.
He’s good at bringing things into a suitable form, if he works with people with enough good minds.

That is quite often the nature of truly brilliant people. The extremes that punctuate their brilliance usually accentuate their failures or setbacks.
Some people learn how to manage the two, but those people are few and far between. It takes the same level of emotional genius as intellectual genius to do it, and the two almost never accompany each other. Which is why it's so rare.
The greatest innovators of the industrial and postindustrial age all have their massive flops. You don't hit the target every time, and part of their genius is the willingness to run with what they think is an innovative idea and take the risks that come with failure.
The road to almost every success is paved with a 1000 failures.
So much weird anger.
It’s not your money…let it go. If all goes according to plan technology will allow us to live outrageously and keep healthy ecosystems. OpenAI is a company that might find that solution and consumption will be nearly irrelevant.
This is my all time favorite picture of him. He's only 56. But it just feels so everyman which is very unlike his usual persona.
Most AI functionality can work on local hardware. For future applications this will be almost crucial.
Wow. Seriously? The CEO of the most valuable company in the world has no business skills? 😂😂😂
Jony looks like he's been trying to design the perfect buffet.
I know this is a common sentiment, but Siri has nothing to do with artificial intelligence, as everything is human curated
The Magic Mouse and first gen Apple Pencil are still around. The butterfly keyboards are gone. Although, I think the first Apple Pencil will likely be gone soon. I hope they can come up with the a better mouse soon, probably something practical looking like the MacBook Pro.
It was his designs that eliminated I/O features on MacBooks: USB-A, SD Card slot and the ability to have more than four ports. That’s what got him pushed out of Apple was immense customer dissatisfaction with product design from 2016 until his departure. Steve would keep him in check when he was designing products, Tim had too much faith in Jony’s ability to lead himself and team. Tim doesn’t have a micromanager style like Steve, he allows these teams to lead themselves. If he has to get involved, it has to be a dire situation; which he’s now had two: Jony and Scott.
Simplicity, creativity, complexity, fun and for a great cause. Another product design by Sir Jony.

How can people keep hating on him? Unbelievable.

I'm with this one.
I remember back when I first got the retina MBP, I would use it and pause for a minute or so, just to admire the device. What a beautiful laptop.
The designs he came up with post Steve era were quite flawed, yet I can tell the products were still made with passion.
The M1 devices were a marvel from hardware engineering perspective, but design-wise it lacked the identity that made people fell in love in the first place.
I know the number speaks otherwise - under Tim Apple sold like crazy and became a trillion dollar company. But personally I would like to see Ive come back and made beautiful devices again. If not with Apple, then so be it.
Because as Steve Wozniak says. It isn’t artificial intelligence, it’s all Machine Learning. Until a machine can wake up and think 'what will I do today?' It has the intelligence of an ant".

The best photographers were not always the best printers or editors (in the heady days of film).
Artists need someone in their life, an editor (or even muse) of sorts, who understands the practical aspect.
Thats a bit strong. I admire him for what he brought to tech design and design in general. He is an artist who worked with computers because he hit it off with Jobs. He has also done furniture, recently he’s done turntables, and the list goes on and on.
He changed beige to class. He follows the Ten Principles for Good Design by Dieter Rams,
Good design:
- is innovative
- makes a product useful
- is aesthetic
- makes a product understandable
- is unobtrusive
- is honest
- is long-lasting
- is thorough down to the last detail
- is environmentally friendly
- is as little as possible
And you think the legendary Steve Jobs, whom you praised twice, personally chose a poor successor?
Jumping in here...yes, I do. I do not think Jobs was thinking on the same level during the end of his life. Why on earth would he have a penny pinching Ops guy take over for him. It makes no sense. He should've chosen someone who was huge on making great products and also huge on design. He ended up choosing someone who was nothing like him. When you are on the trajectory that Jobs created, you do not change course mid-voyage. Sure, Apple is the world's top company, but their products are boring and innovation has all but ceased. I'm a shareholder but I'd still rather see someone running the company who was more like Jobs.

Don't forget that many of the the companies we now know of started in their garage
Agree totally, Scott was the heir apparent, stabbed in the back like something out of Julius Ceaser
