Jony Ive's Next One-of-a-Kind Design Project is a Christmas Tree

Jony Ive's Christmas tree: Christmas simplicity in it's truest form

I kid, I kid ............. here's the Christmas tree he's decorated for the hotel - simplicity AND thinness:

(People grabs Jon to the ally and gives him a nice Christmas "gift")

Jon: somebody...help me!!!!!
One of the Mac users: (duct tapes him)

In other note: that's cool. I gues he is in that Christmas mood.

 

[DaveWotzit]

Perhaps a tree designed by another manufacturer *cough*

The number of people getting their knickers in a twist because Ive is designing a Christmas tree is hilarious. Calm down Beyonce!

#Ive dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree-tops glisten with Alu-min-ium
To replace wood 'cos that's so old

Ive dreaming of a white Christmas
Ceramic-Watch-Edition-like
May your trees be shiny and light
And may all your Christmases be white

This is definately my fave!

Apple really need to fire Jon Ive. He is well past his sell-by date and plainly needs a change of environment

Utter garb!

I'd believe it if the avaliable options were silver/space/gold/rose. Not the pictures red.

Um, yes I did.

The space available means it can't be much (if any) bigger than what was done previously.

So the Christmas tree will be as small, as thin, as light as possible, they'll need to provide a microscope for visitors to have a glimpse of the famous "Jony" Christmas tree

 

[Sandybox]

Does Ive actually do any work any more or, like the other Apple execs, is it all just self-congratulatory ego trip events and activities attended by other over-rich with nothing better to do?

On a completely random note, I find it interesting that there is an entire generation of Americans (probably multiple generations, and maybe people from elsewhere--not sure how well known that Peanuts cartoon was outside the US) that find this image of a Christmas "tree" so instantly recognizable.

Ive is one of the people at Apple who really holds Steve Jobs's vision of design and simplicity. He's one of the people who really needs to stay at Apple.

Yes and no. The way I see it: Ive came up with great design ideas which Jobs curated. Of course there was overlap between the two. Without Jobs we're left with a great designer with little direction. It's like letting a world class orchestra play without a director; it takes much longer to prepare a piece and something essential is missing.

Apple as a whole is lacking direction.

"To... create... this Christmas tree, we fundementally... rethought the design of what a tree could be.

By consolidating the branches into an... atypical tree shape, we minimised surface area, without reducing its instrumentality. The branches... sympathetically dance in the anomalous "Magic Snowball" formation.

We also... re-examined its pallete, unanimously agreeing... on the striking, yet subtle... "Unapologetic Beige".

Put simply, it's the best Christmas tree we've ever made."

You don't understand what you've just done. You've masterfully just created one of the greatest post on all of macrumors.

No wonder Microsoft are so far ahead of Apple when your chief designer is making Holiday trees when he should be trying to save the company with new products.

 

[DeepIn2U]

Courage.

^ I call GROOT slavery right thar!

 

[amegicfox]

this foul hasn't designed a new mac in 4 years and he has time to design a tree ?

 

[Bubba Satori]

Instead of Christmas ornaments JonyTree will be hung with magical iDonglements.
Courage.

 

[Reason077]

All we know is that it has one USB-C port and NO headphone jack.

 

[PizzaBoxStyle]

He should cover it in dongles.

Well that'd certainly make it the most expensive Christmas tree in the entire world.

This is gold.

I really expected the thinness to at least match the Samsung Christmas Trees. No wonder year over year Christmas Tree Sales are declining.

But the Samsung trees aren't allowed indoors due to fire code issues...
