![]() That it’s only the last 20 years says a lot - this is Ive’s ![]() Steven Troughton-Smith expressed the “this is Ive’s swan song” side succinctly: The Designed by Apple in California book is fascinating in this regard. Some of this I’ve heard just in the last few days, in the wake of last week’s episode of the show and the ensuing misconstruing of my remarks. That his chief design officer title isn’t the least bit ceremonial, and instead is an accurate representation of his increased authority. Importantly, I’ve also heard from well-placed sources within Apple that there is nothing to this - that while Ive is devoting much of his time and attention to architecture recently (both for the new campus and Apple retail), every aspect of every new product remains as much under his watchful eye as ever. That’s what I tried to convey on The Talk Show last week. Nobody has said to me “ Jony Ive has checked out of day-to-day product design.” What I have heard is from people who’ve said “ I think Jony Ive has checked out of day-to-day product design.” There is a big difference between those two sentences. Almost everything I’ve heard about Ive’s current role is second or third-hand. There aren’t many people who work with him directly, and those few who do, don’t talk about it. Ive has also always been a bit of a mystery man at Apple. The skeptic’s take is that this new arrangement allows Ive to be less involved, period, and that the chief design officer title is almost ceremonial. The company line is that this new arrangement allows Ive to spend less time on management, and more time directly on, well, design. There’s been speculation to that effect ever since his promotion last year to chief design officer and the coinciding promotions of Alan Dye and Richard Howarth to vice presidents of user interface design and industrial design, respectively. There are definitely people who think Ive might be on his way out. I think if you listen to that part of the show, the surrounding context makes that clear. I have no doubt Ibrahim transcribed my words accurately, but the above excerpt is not an accurate representation of what I tried to convey. I try not only to make it easy for my meaning to be understood, but also difficult to be misconstrued. With everything I write here at DF, I aim for painstaking precision in my choice of words and phrasing. This is what I dislike most about podcasting.
