This is something I fear lol. Luckily I haven’t had a manager yet that I disliked so badly that it made me want to quit. Did you try to switch teams or switch to a new manager?
I’m very curious what we’ll see from Ives new company.
Got a tip for us?

Those restrictions usually run for about 6mo after a person leaves so I think they'd be ok
So Wan Si and Chris Wilson are two people who are responsible for removing the beautiful and functional skeuomorphic design elements and replacing them with hideous and confusing flat design elements.
Therefore, as for Wan and Wilson not being at Apple anymore, good riddance.
Did he take the person who design the Apple TV trackpad remote? Because I really want him to take that person.
Wow wow wow as SJ would say.
good riddance to the best product designer of the modern age and let’s replace him with………
Jony Ive has designed some of the most beautiful devices in his time... he's also designed some really crap ones as well... the hockey puck mouse, the magic (un-ergonomic, can't charge it and use it at the same time) mouse, the trashcan Mac Pro, the butterfly keyboard, the smooth Apple (I'm slippy to grip and I'll roll off anything) Pencil 1, monitors that you can tilt but not adjust the height, and the touchbar.
So you would prefer a big, fat, thick huge bordered iPad with lots of buttons and weird corners? I think sir Ive has done wonders in the designs and even though there are days that I wouldn’t mind a 100% extra battery capacity, on 99 out of a 100 days that is totally unnecessary. So for that one day I have a big ass powerbank that can charge my iPad 2-3 times if needed. Cheaper, more flexible in use, and in daily use the iPad is much better for it.
Look at panasonics thougbook range, they even have dual hot-swappable batteries, so you can haul around as manny batteries as you like!
Some really valid points! Except the trashcan, I liked that design a lot.
and I don’t think he designed the butterfly keyboard. Man I hate that keyboard.
but he has done some serious designing and developing theories and design rules for these devices. And some other areas as wel.
His design of the new iMac is no masterpiece.
It's just an oversized iPad. put the 2 side by side.
Not even enough ports.
and the M1 chip has a design flaw.

Apple's M1 has a security flaw and it doesn't matter
A flaw in Apple's M1 chip has been discovered, but the security hole called M1RACLES is more clickbait than a gateway for hackers.

A person’s full-time job was designing app icons?? I mean, I get that it takes time, but they only need to update Apple’s own icons, some don’t get updated for many years, and they’re probably created and tweaked by an entire team!! 😬
I would suggest there is a whole team to blame and not just Ive.
I accept the mouse is stupid in regards charging, however Ive did not :
engineer the keyboards
Engineer the Mac pro trash cans
Engineer cooling in the MBP etc
what I am saying is he may have been pushing an aesthetic but it’s not all him at all. There is a subtle hint above in who else is responsible.
but in the end of the day, Tim Cook is responsible for everything coming out of Apple.
Some minor duff products do not diminish the influence Ive has had on modern technology. If you are unable to see this then that is due to your inability to understand design.

Is it up to another to disprove your negative? “I have no idea…”etc
If that’s the case pick apart the products he designed and criticize them instead of making a blanket statement and having someone else disprove that statement.
In house is near always cheaper than external so don't think this is the why behind the change.
LMAO HAHAHAHA
best designer? iOS 7 showed how bad a designer he is. for him clarity is just a white background with a blue label text.
Their names are mentioned in the original post of this thread. The original post also mentioned who they are and what they accomplished.
I bet you buy from designer companies thinking it actually means you understand design, but in fact haven’t got a clue.
There are a tonne of crap designs in the world, including from Apple, as I have previously acknowledged. But to pick on some super minor element, as an example of why he isn’t the most influential and best designer since Dieter Rams [who is a major inlfuence] says a lot.
Name 3 others who are better and more influential please [in product design], and also provide reasons why Ives work is in multiple museums around the globe.
