Thanks goodness! Now maybe Apple wil stop obsessing over curves and glass, and return to its roots of obsessing with extreme product functionality.

Jony Ive Removed From Apple's Leadership Page

Couldn't be further from the truth. Hell, the CEO is a Industrial Engineering graduate. You really should quit while you're behind.
P.S. To those whining about iOS and wondering all about the new Software Testing Initiatives is due to fellow NeXT/Apple alums who made iOS coming back to work there in more top positions.
I wonder if he designed the terrible-functioning Refurb-Clearance store page. Looks pretty, but useless.
Baloney. Tim Apple is a service company way more than design now.
Some wonderful designs came from Mr. Ive and some garbage designs too. I wish him well.
All I want is hardware that performs wonderfully and if it looks nice too, added bonus.
So going forward, function over form please

Agree, seems many are not able to put forth a balanced view of the man and his contributions as well as his shortcomings.
Thinner? Yes! Still thinner (and less battery and heat issues)? No!
Overall helped make Apple despite this and I wish him well.

Woah, we posted almost the same time. Thanks for mirroring my thoughts.Some wonderful designs came from Mr. Ive and some garbage designs too. I wish him well.

That I consider to be highly unlikely.
Jobs immediately founded NeXT after he was ousted/fired from Apple - which laid the very foundation that macOS and iOS are still sitting on these days.
He also bought Pixar and these two companies taught him how to ride out a tough storm - both skills absolutely needed upon his return to Apple.
Forstall, after his ousting, co-produced a musical on Broadway...
His NDA and severance-contract probably forbids him from doing anything that even remotely competes with Apple - in exchange for a nice golden parachute.
Jobs took the people he thought he needed at NeXT with him - most likely key-persons.
I don't think Forstall took anybody with him.
Really? Every time I’ve left a job, my former company has removed my name from their employee lists. Should they keep Ive’s name on there forever even though he doesn’t work there?
You mean the way it is spelt and pronounced correctly in the English language... I'll help you
AL - U - MIN - IUM!!
not as our american brothers say it...
Al - OO - MIN - UM....
Not the first word of the English language they have decided to "change"...
Yes, I fully agree. Scott Forstall is a youger version of Steve Jobs. He would be CEO of Apple someday but made some mistakes with Apple Maps and had to ditch skeuomorphic design with iOS 6. He showed he is a real character by not signing the apology letter from Tim Cook. I don't think Steve ever would do that. Steve never apologized for iPhone 4 antenna, he gave everyone a bumper case, fired the responsible person for the antenna design and the rest is history.
Tim Cook and Jeff Williams are great with Supplychain and spreadsheets. And giving interviews to anyone with a microphone and a camera. Apple is in need of a briliant guy like Scott. We all remember how Steve had to leave Apple and came back and made Apple the richest (tech) company ever. Someday, Scott Forstall...
I think the iPhone 11 / 11 Pro, the 16" MBP & the new Mac Pro are the beginning of post-Ive designs.

I think what he / she means is when do we start seeing Apple designs that don't have Ive's influence all over them.
Weird how finance is the thing you think jobs should be remember for. Not innovation, success new products. Ground breaking technologies...
Do you like my new iphone ? It's ok, but I like AAPL share price better?
Wishful thinking,but I highly doubt it. Unfortunate that forcing him to rush out Apple maps led to him leaving. That guy knew how to build and improve a mobile OS
The guy who discovered it begs to differ.
The origin of the two names may be attributable to element's discoverer, Sir Humphry Davy, Webster's Dictionary, or the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC).
In 1808, Sir Humphry Davy identified the existence of the metal in alum, which he at first named "alumium" and later "aluminum."
