Who would have thought that. Jony Ive and Apple are no longer best friends.
If you say Apple, you say Jony Ive. After Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, Ive is the most famous name in the history of the American tech company. Ive was responsible for the main designs of the brand. From the iPhone to the iPad as we know it today.
Jony Ive and Apple
It’s no secret that Ive got on especially well with Steve Jobs and less so with Tim Cook. After Jobs died, Ive must have thought what he wanted now. That decision eventually followed in 2019. Then he said goodbye to Apple after two decades.
