End of an era.

Apple now having design under the COO seems like a terrible idea.

It's going to be outsourced to Ive's company anyway.

Apple tired that before, remember who designed the original iMac?

Having dated a graphic designer who ran her own firm...biz people don't seem to respect design. It's an slight hassle afterthought to many biz people. It's a cost center that they don't really understand...but don't realize they don't understand... because they think it's easy.

Steve Jobs was actually different. He put design first and foremost and did great things.

Hopefully the COO recognizes he's out of his element and doesn't try to half-ass design going forward.

It could be like the Pininfirina to Ferrari/Fiat/Peugeot setup.

Will we see fewer fashion-accessory features, and more daily workhorse features?

So happy he can apply his talent elsewhere. Given the minuscule improvements we should expect in phones and laptops in the near future, Apple probably isn’t the best place for him.

Not really news, is it? Ive leaving and starting consulting (possibly including for Apple) was known for a while.
