Sir Jonathan Ive, more widely known as Jony Ive is to leave Apple to set up his own venture with Apple being one of his clients.

Hmmmm, I wonder if Tim Cook turned down his latest pay rise request?

At least this way he can write his own cheques.

It is always a problem to higher management when "your"

He’s a good designer & the layouts & iOS designs he has created are nice.

@viridis @Possibly a new iOS interface will be introduced then as they won’t be able to use his designs without paying him big money

I'm fairly sure Apple will have things covered in that respect.

So he might have them over a barrel (of Apple Cider of course)

Nothing to stop him offering these back to them for a large slice of that cash pile Cook is sitting on.

@jonsie

It'll depend if Apple wants to pay what he wants to charge.

They might end up back on the ropes as they were in the 90s if they don't.

They'll survive without his designs though their major problem is more of build quality and engineering reliability which has been getting worse. Possibly because of his design requirements forcing bad engineering practices.

But I'll leave you with this video:
