Agreed!!
Unless I’m missing a limb, or have a critical non functioning body part not putting anything in my body!
Consumer electronics = hard no!
Reminds me of movies like:
Logan’s Run,
Total Recall (remake with phone in the hand),
Elysium- especially as it debut 2 yrs before Elon Musks brain implant company and its nearly identical!
What?! Your kidding right?
Jony Ive has been designing Apple laptops since the TiBook released in 2000! That includes the unibody MacBook/Pro and the 2015 MBP which the latest MBP takes heavy queues from. If Ive didn’t design the current 2021 MBP he’s design has immensely and heavily influenced it.
Lol we’ve had evidence with this on the extremely long introduction video of the TAM ! notice then he barely had a British accent, yet from the 2010-2012 Apple product videos thick British accent hmmm.
You’re blind. IVe designed the 2008 and 2012 MBP along with the original iMac, the TAM, and every iPhone up to the 11 series.
You really must be a new Apple MBP user.
My condolences on the loss of your sense of humour.
I have difficult feelings about him for years. I once though of him as a nice, humble and brilliant man but not anymore. Honestly, I think he's insincere and a two-faced character.
in what way was your post I quoted in any way comical/humourous? What was the tell that I missed?
It’s okay if you don’t get it, you must be new to Apple’s designs.
Ive’s design sensibilities, while often really good, have had a running theme of making things thinner than they need to be, sacrificing things like battery life, durability, and thermal capability in the process. The joke is that Ive would be disgusted by the new designs because they don’t keep the obvious flaws found in the previous generation of machine, which I assumed was a fairly easy joke to follow since Ive is obviously a very good product designer and the physical design was clearly inspired by his past work.
Where I think you went wrong was that you apparently can’t stand a bad word being said about Apple or their products, whether seriously or in jest and appear to have taken personal offence. Lighten up, it makes the internet a hell of a lot more fun.

Ive has been designing at Apple for a VERY long time. Long before you think is just about being thin.
iMac OG
TAM Twentieth anniversary Mac.
MacBook/MacBook Pro of 2008, 2012 and 2016,
Newton yeah he designed that too btw.
Durability: I've never seen the hardware of any MBP being less durable aside from the keyboards of 2016-2020 models but that I doubt was Jony Ive's making versus the engineering team creating the Butterly keyboard to work with the slim design. Obviously that wasn't needed after their 4th try in reverting to a better keyboard in early 2020. BTW I don't see many users wanting or asking for bigger Macs from 2012 onward on these forums. Sure now a few owners of '21 MBPs state they don't mind but they too are not asking for thicker machines.
I think you make the assumption of what I can stand or cannot - you don't know a thing about me. I simply made a correction of truth that this years MBP design follow's VERY heavily of one of Jony Ive's previous MBPs 2012 model which a lot of people seem to have forgotten. Since Apple nor Jony have made official statements if he was/wasn't involved in the '21 MBP it's pretty easy to hypothesize he was involved to some extent. Yeah I can see the humour you've clarified but it's not obvious to me. If I took personal offence, my comment would've led me to being suspended.
Ive left after Apple Park was built. He’d been hands off on design since the first few Apple watches.Ive has been designing at Apple for a VERY long time. Long before you think is just about being thin.

He didn’t do anything for these new ones, they’re just reminiscent of older designs that Steve Jobs greenlit.
Without his editor around (Steve), Jony was not doing the Mac line any favors. The last good Mac Ive designed was the retina MacBook pros that debuted in 2012… and though Steve didn’t live to see them released, those had Steve all over them; and the 14-16” take after it.
Your timeline is a bit wonky, Jony had way less influence on Macs coming out of Apple by 2018. Take the new Mac Pro on wheels; none of his design - Alan’s team.

Won’t that device be fun for the rabid fans who upgrade each year.
