So, now he "designs" colors? Aside from the leather grip for the Pencil, there doesn't seem to be anything new about the hardware itself.

No. Go back and read again.

They designed the iPad with special colors, not the colors themselves.

Yes, there is nothing new about the hardware. This is about creating a totally unique, highly collectible iPad for charity purposes. Is it that difficult?

Jony Ive's design team has created a one-of-a-kind 12.9-inch iPad Pro, iPad Pro Smart Cover, and Apple Pencil holder that will be auctioned off as part of a fundraiser for the London Design Museum, reports Wallpaper.

The iPad Pro has been anodized with a bright yellow dye, making it unique among Apple's standard color lineup of Space Gray, Silver, Gold, and Rose Gold. Compared to the Gold iPad Pro, it's a much brighter, more vibrant shade of yellow.

Accompanying the yellow iPad Pro is Smart Cover made from a blue French leather and an Apple Pencil ensconced in an orange Italian calf leather case. According to the auction listing, the iPad Pro's back and the Smart Cover are etched with the words "Edition 1 of 1."

The iPad Pro has an estimated value of GBP10,000 - 15,000, the amount it is expected to fetch at auction. It will be available to bid on starting on April 28.

Apple has donated specially designed items for charity auctions several times in the past, with Jony Ive creating a red Mac Pro and solid gold EarPods, among other items.

Apple, aka that Ive excresence, just can't help themselves in coming up with cringeworthy stuff. It's like an illness.
 
Now all, they need is to figure out how to make the pencil,stay with the iPad, after not realizing Microsoft faced this issue three years ago and had massive backlash it's ridiculous that Apple didn't bother

Yeah, cause if someone really cared they would drop £15K on stock colour iPads and give them to charity so they can be used for educational purposes.

Is it that difficult to understand why people are not wow'D by a iPad , just cause it's a different colour?? From a designer that changed mobile devices for many of us??? Is it?

I've got an amazing semi limited edition U2 iPod!! Nah, it's just same stock iPod with different colours , when that was introduced there was not talk about how someone designed the red/black... Trust me, if it launched today , it would be innovative , cause it's a different colour combination...
 
This is beyond insane. If Apple really cared about the environment they wouldn't spend all this time making ONE ugly device. Just getting the shade "perfect" must have cost more than the iPad itself. Just donate some money Apple, it's not as though you're hard up for cash. Geez.

It's justified. The article uses the term 'design'... when all that was done was change the color. The 'cynics' in this case are just being real. If sites like macrumors are going to puke out words like 'design' for this nonsense, then we are devaluing language.

Words are used to create meaning and understanding. If words are used this carelessly, then what's the point.

On another note, I just 'designed' a new car... it's a toyota corolla ... the body, engine and interior are all the same, but on the outside it's pink with blue dots on it.

It's justified? That is just your opinion, it is not fact. You might think or assume that this is a case of Ive just phoning it in, but in reality you have no idea about what effort went into creating this. True it might have been 10 minutes in a design application cycling through different colours, but that doesn't negate the effect that the owner of the design made a change and offered it for sale.

Damien Hirst designed a human skull with hundreds of diamonds on it. Mondrian divided white spaces into sections and filled them with colour. Rietveld designed a minimalistic chair. These are all examples of highly polarising designs that in reality could have been created in a few hours of work after the initial idea. Not everything that is true design needs to take 1000 hours and be accepted by everybody as pretty.
