He was a one-trick pony. Thin and light. Must have been a fashion designer in a previous life.I put "designer" in quotes because I don't think you can call yourself a "designer" if you are merely an "aesthetic designer".

And Apple's hardware and software products during Jony Ive's reign at the top (when he had fewer checks against his vision than when he was lower down) show a consistent, steady decline in functional design. Something that Apple is only just now recovering from.
And no amount of laurels from the aesthetic design community is going to change my opinion that Jony's Apple products took a big step backward in functional design.
The ENORMOUS amount of backlash across their line in this regard indicates to me that I am not alone in this.
And no doubt that backstep and that backlash was the reason he was pushed out. Laurels or not.
