He reminds me of the cover of some rock album where the band is trying to act too cool to smile but they really just look constipated.
If you had said the same thing about Katie Cotton you'd be accused of sexism you know.
Got a tip for us?

Obviously all his design skill goes into Apple hardware. No slack left for anything else, like dressing himself.
Jobs had a great working relationship with Ive, but by most accounts he was a sort of editor-in-chief role. He set the general direction of Apple, and often made insightful nips and tucks. He prioritized design and gave them power at Apple.
But make no mistake, Ive is the one with the genius-level knowledge of materials, manufacturing methods, mockups, and doing the tens of iterations that each Apple product experiences before its release.
He is smiling, while also maintaining a "stiff upper lip", it's a British thing. Looking excessively happy or sad, is just undignified
It's a photo of Jony drilling holes with his eyes into the aluminum casings at Foxconn.
I have to wonder whether Steve would like what Jony is creating. It's definitely different. I like it in some ways, but in others things need t change.
I'm hoping this is really some sort of intervention and Ive will be shown the error of his iOS7 ways
I can't...but that's what patent websites are for.
Still these guys are hardly toiling in obscurity when they get to share the stage with Ive (which we know never would have happened while Steve was alive). Akana; Jody

You're implying that no one knows who they are. Kind of a ridiculous implication.
"no other design mind has done more to transform the way we visualize and share information"
Seriously? So every software or UI engineer who poured his heart out on Apple products(Before Ive was appointed as head of UI) got shoved to the dust bin of history.
What a shame!

Are you familiar with the tale of the emperor's new clothes? The man is stark naked. Everyone needs to tell him this until he actually hears someone. Nothing good comes from allowing him to continue to prance around in the buff like everything's just peachy.
But the vast majority of people like iOS 7.
But that's not what this thread is about. Congrats Jony!
I agree with the general attitude here.
His hardware design (and that of his team of course) was and still is amazing.
However iOS 7 is just not cutting it for me at all. I thought I'd get used to it but at best I see it as mediocre and pretty dull.
It's still really buggy for not much major change and sluggish for something so simple.
I saw some screenshots in iPhoto a few days ago from another time, they were shots of iOS 6 and they made me nostalgic for a quicker and more enjoyable time. I miss it I've got to say.
