More quotes by Jonathan Ive
What we make testifies who we are. People can sense care and can sense carelessness.
Jonathan Ive
The word design is everything and nothing. The design and the product itself are inseparable.
Jonathan Ive
Its difficult to do something radically new, unless you are at the heart of a company.
Jonathan Ive
There's no other product that changes function like the computer.
Jonathan Ive
Really great design is hard. Good is the enemy of great.
Jonathan Ive
Titles or organizational structures, that’s not the lens through which we see our peers.
Jonathan Ive
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
We don't do focus groups - that is the job of the designer.
Jonathan Ive
I left London in 1992, but I'm there 3-4 times a year, and love visiting.
Jonathan Ive
Being superficially different is the goal of so many of the products we see... rather than trying to innovate and genuinely taking the time, investing the resources and caring enough to try and make something better.
Jonathan Ive
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
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
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
One of the hallmarks of the team is this sense of looking to be wrong. It's the inquisitiveness, and sense of exploration. It's about being excited to be wrong, because then you've discovered something new.
Jonathan Ive
To do something innovative means that you reject reason.
Jonathan Ive
It feels like each time we are beginning at the beginning, in a really exciting way.
Jonathan Ive
True simplicity is, well, you just keep on going and going until you get to the point where you go... Yeah, well, of course.
Jonathan Ive
I am keenly aware that I benefit from a wonderful tradition in the UK of designing and making.
Jonathan Ive
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.
Jonathan Ive
It's just easier to talk about product attributes that you can measure with a number. Focus on price, screen size, that's easy. But there's a more difficult path, and that's to make better products, ones where maybe you can't measure their value empirically.
