Losing Ive was probably a good thing for Apple. I often feel that after a few years these big guys have done what they could do and somebody else can take it from there. So far even losing Jobs didn’t hurt Apple as it looks.
replyThe MacBooks certainly got a lot better and more usable.
replyAnyone remember the touchpad MBP with no physical escape key and the butterfly keyboard?
(Respect to many of Ive’s great legacy though)
Jony Ive wanted to chop down all the trees at De Anza Community College for something like 11 million dollars for an Apple event. There's a lot of ways he was demanding in the wrong ways for Apple
reply> So far even losing Jobs didn’t hurt Apple as it looks.
replyWho knows? Pure speculation? You can also say if Jobs was still around they could have 10x-ed it even further?
Apple car could have been a thing? Apple could have been way ahead and actually competing in AI and data centers? Who knows what else Jobs could have came up with?
Like Ive? So you mean it’s good for Google?
reply> It's like Apple losing Ive in a way.
replyAre you sure we should compare it like this? Not sure it implies what you think it does...
Tell us what we’re missing.
replyThe other commenter said it, quoting "Losing Ive was probably a good thing for Apple."
replySo the parent comment would imply that losing Dean is a good thing for Google, which is way less likely here.
