Everytime I write about him someone always lets me know he has been knighted so let it not be thought I am ignorant of His True Stlying of Sir Lord Baron Designmeister-Supreme Jonathanathan Paul “Jony” Ive, KBE, HonFREng, RDI, ASLFKJHGASF.

Jony Ive leaves Apple, but will keep it as a client
Guess he took a bite out’a Apple.

“But that keyboard design is a thing of beauty. My crowning achievement! I swear to [a deity or deities], if you change it in the next Macbook, I’m out of here!”

What? No mouth/eye swappage?
You’re slipping mate.
Maybe now the industrial design team will allow devices to actually have depth rather than trending towards paper thin uselessness. Can’t innovate my ass! Turns out it was too innovative. Waaaay too innovative. Now the new Mac Pro has an innovative price.
ps - yes I know that quote is from Phil Shiller. You don’t think SirJonnie didn’t have his fleshy meathooks into the trash can mac pro right up past his elbow? p’shaw!

I couldn’t figure if this was “rats leaving the sinking ship” or “get out of here, and take your thousand dollar piece of metal with you”… I’m leaning towards the latter.

I wonder who else is allowed to be his customer?
I still adore the clear acrylic plastic on the G4 model power Macs, in addition to the cube. They always looked beautiful to me. Also the fact you could open up the G4 and actually add your own hard drive, ram, cards, etc. The G5 aluminum rectangle always felt like a downgrade to me, from a purely aesthetical point of view.
I still buy apple products, but the design isn’t quite as exciting. Ive defiantly helped in setting new design standards for an industry plagued by ugly beige boxes.

Good. Fuck his form over function designs, and fuck his stupidly spelled name.

It’s not unreasonable for the hardware it brings, designed not for us lowly mortals, but for immortal, soulless corporations. It had to be a Xeon platform because consumer Intel CPUs are crippled in PCIe lanes and RAM capacity.

Yes, but so were Robert Mugabe and Jimmy Savile. I am not going to show deference to someone because Brenda put a bunch of letters after their name

That crumb tray clear acrylic keyboard was his deal right?
It helps keep crumbs off of the desk I guess.

Good. Dude was well past his sell-by, and I hope this means he’ll have little in the way of actual influence over future Apple designs.

It would be nice but I’m not holding my breath. I’ll believe it when they bring back physical ports. Till then I’m rocking my 2015MBP with SD card slot and HDMI as well as my iPhone SE with headphone port and non-bendy design.
