There's no learning without trying lots of ideas and failing lots of times.
Jonathan Ive

Apple's goal isn't to make money. Our goal is to design and develop and bring to market good products.
Jonathan Ive
Image
The quest for simplicity has to pervade every part of the process. It really is fundamental.
Jonathan Ive
Image
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
Its difficult to do something radically new, unless you are at the heart of a company.
Jonathan Ive
Image
We try to solve very complicated problems without letting people know how complicated the problem was.
Jonathan Ive
Image
It's very easy to make something that is new. So we are trying to make things that are better.
Jonathan Ive
Image
As consumers we are incredibly discerning, we sense where has been great care in the design, and when there is cynicism and greed.
