If you work for Apple, maybe a good idea to have minimal attachments outside of Apple. Good with that, awesome place to be associated with at this time in history.

Fair point, doesn't make him an untouchable genius though as many here would have you believe.
God that's narcissistic and narrow-minded. Anyone who's worked at a large company for more than 20 years and lived thru at least one corporate restructuring knows this is nothing new, where teams go from being vertical and located separate to matrix-resourced and co-located when a new CEO/president arrives with their own "now wait till the nirvana of when we do it THIS way" vision. Then eventually there's upheaval and new faces in mohagany row arrive, where it's back to vertical structuring with separate locations. Puh-lease Jony, you blowhard.
Apple's narcissistic one-size-fits-all forced narrow-minded view towards proprietary connectors, non-customizable iOS/OSX basics, and hardware port/jack/button reductions are not so much "genius visions of how to do things we should just accept" (calling @Abazigal ha ha) but are just reflecting of the strong, singular, often narrow-minded viewpoints of those with the power, like Steve and then Jony. Except Steve had a better feel for targeting & assembling things that make the consumer's experience great while Jony feels his preferences make a great consumer experience.

You mean it's not a good idea to live with a women (like Chrisann Brennan), get her pregnant and when she gives birth to a girl (Lisa Brennan-Jobs) deny it's your child, take a paternity test and when the results come back positive and say "Yes Mr Jobs you are the Father" put your fingers in your ears and go around screaming "she's not my child" then go to court and accuse Chrisann of sleeping around? Is that what it takes to work at Apple?
"awesome place to be associated with"

Like his and his team designs, but that's about it, as soon as I hear him talk I almost have to "vomit", lots worse than Tim cook and he's not really my fan either, like hairforceone one though, he should be the one pulling the strings in Apple's events.
More than the great designer he was (before prolonging all product lines to the max. in the same shape) he’s that arrogant, attention addicted narcist.
For a young generation, it must be a terrible experience to work for him - getting all the design work that would make him transient figure denied.
Whether in ApplePark or wherever.

I hear if you say "narrow minded" one more time you get a free ice cream cone.
Not what I meant at all. Interesting response however. Many careers are demanding. Some fall into my recommendation. Like the military, extensive travel careers, any career that requires one to dedicate way more then the 9 to 5 job description. Notice I did not say none but minimal.
Don't get me wrong it's not a slight against you at all. It's just when you said "maybe a good idea to have minimal attachments outside of Apple" it brings up the lengths Steve Jobs went to (see my original post I'm not repeating it) to make it seem like he had no "attachments outside of Apple". It's all in the past any-ways.
Jony, Ive - no idea what you do nowadays, since Apple began refreshing line ups instead of creating new ones.
Apple's design chief Jony Ive sat down for an interview over lunch with Financial Times
Maybe he can explain why his unfinished clunky crappy Mojave Books does not always work with clunky crappy iCloud Drive, and explain why the only way to get things there from Mojave Books is 1 dang pdf at a time. Maybe he can explain why his Apple Books forces us to open pdfs we store in Books, only in Preview.
It is probably unfair and childish (given that nobody cares what I think) but for the last few years it somewhat annoys me to read these C-officer interviews with philosophical and mythical quotes like "changing the world" ,or in the case of this interview "If you genuinely have a concern for humanity, you will be preoccupied with trying to understand the implications, the consequences of creating something that hasn't existed before. I think it's part of the culture at Apple to believe that there is a responsibility that doesn't end when you ship a product... It keeps me awake.", when there are so many glaring and ridiculous faults on their product line.
I still read those interviews so it is probably my fault.

Tires are attached to the wheels and not inflatable.
Wheels are not removable. Replacing any tire or brake pad requires replacing all 4 tires+wheels and entire drivetrain.
Replacing any window requires replacing entire door.
Replacing windshield or wiper blade requires replacing entire car body.
Replacing any interior or exterior light bulb requires replacing entire car body.
All seats are permanently molded to fit Jonathan Ive's own body.
Battery is glued to the car.

Apple needs to understand the responsibility of destroying and completely neglecting its entire computer product line to the point of ridiculousness. Apple computers, were the products that actually they became famous for!!
