We don't do focus groups - that is the job of the designer.
Jonathan Ive
Image
It feels like each time we are beginning at the beginning, in a really exciting way.
Jonathan Ive
Image
Making the solution seem so completely inevitable and obvious, so uncontrived and natural - it's so hard!
Jonathan Ive
Image
If something is not good enough, stop doing it.
Jonathan Ive
Image
So much of what we try to do is get to a point where the solution seems inevitable: you know, you think of course it's that way, why would it be any other way? It looks so obvious, but that sense of inevitability in the solution is really hard to achieve.

A small change at the beginning of the design process defines an entirely different product at the end.

Image
Apple's goal isn't to make money. Our goal is to design and develop and bring to market good products.
Jonathan Ive
Image
When you're trying to solve a problem on a new product type, you become completely focused on problems that seem a number of steps removed from the main product. That problem solving can appear a little abstract, and it is easy to lose sight of the product.

Image
I think there is a profound and enduring beauty in simplicity in clarity, in efficiency. True simplicity is derived from so much more than just the absence of clutter and ornamentation. It's about bringing order to complexity.
Jonathan Ive
Image
What we make testifies who we are. People can sense care and can sense carelessness.
Jonathan Ive
Image
If you are truly innovating, you don't have a prototype you can refer to.
Jonathan Ive
Image
Its difficult to do something radically new, unless you are at the heart of a company.
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
The goal of Apple is not to make money but to make really nice products, really great products.
Jonathan Ive
Image
The quest for simplicity has to pervade every part of the process. It really is fundamental.
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.

I left London in 1992, but I'm there 3-4 times a year, and love visiting.
Jonathan Ive

I’m always focussed on the actual work, and I think that’s a much more succinct way to describe what you care about than any speech I could ever make.
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.

I am keenly aware that I benefit from a wonderful tradition in the UK of designing and making.
