We're very genuinely designing the best products that we can for people.
Jonathan Ive
Image
The most important thing is that you actually care, that you do something to the very best of your ability
Jonathan Ive
Image
If you are truly innovating, you don't have a prototype you can refer to.
Jonathan Ive
Image
Simplicity is not the absence of clutter, that's a consequence of simplicity. Simplicity is somehow essentially describing the purpose and place of an object and product. The absence of clutter is just a clutter-free product. That's not simple.
Jonathan Ive
Image
I think it’s a wonderful view that care was important – but I think you can make a one-off and not care and you can make a million of something and care. Whether you really care or not is not driven by how many of the products you’re going to make.
Jonathan Ive
Image
We shouldn't be afraid to fail- if we are not failing we are not pushing.
Jonathan Ive
Image
A small change at the beginning of the design process defines an entirely different product at the end.

The more I learnt about this cheeky - almost rebellious - company, the more it appealed to me, as it unapologetically pointed to an alternative in a complacent and creatively bankrupt industry. Apple stood for something and had reason for being that wasn't just about making money.

The nature of having ideas and creativity is incredibly inspiring.
Jonathan Ive
Image
What I love about the creative process, and this may sound naive, but it is this idea that one day there is no idea, and no solution, but the next day there is an idea. I find that incredibly exciting and conceptually actually remarkable.
Jonathan Ive
Image
We try to solve very complicated problems without letting people know how complicated the problem was.
Jonathan Ive
Image
If something is not good enough, stop doing it.
Jonathan Ive
Image
If you're not trying to do something better, then you're not focused on the customer and you'll miss the possibility of making your business great.
Jonathan Ive
Image
That's just tragic, that you can spend four years of your life studying the design of three dimensional objects and not make one.
Jonathan Ive
Image
There are 9 rejected ideas for every idea that works.
Jonathan Ive
Image
With the early prototypes, I held the phone to my ear and my ear [would] dial the number. You have to detect all sorts of ear-shapes and chin shapes, skin colour and hairdo... that was one of just many examples where we really thought, perhaps this isn’t going to work.
Jonathan Ive
Image
I am keenly aware that I benefit from a wonderful tradition in the UK of designing and making.
Jonathan Ive
Image
What we make testifies who we are. People can sense care and can sense carelessness.
Jonathan Ive
Image
It's one of the curses of designing that when you look at anything, you're constantly thinking, Why? Why - why was it designed like that, and not like this?
Jonathan Ive
Image
Different and new is relatively easy. Doing something thats genuinely better is very hard.
