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.

More quotes by Jonathan Ive
Designing and developing anything of consequence is incredibly challenging.
Jonathan Ive
It feels like each time we are beginning at the beginning, in a really exciting way.
Jonathan Ive
There's no learning without trying lots of ideas and failing lots of times.
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
There are a thousand no's for every yes.
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
To do something innovative means that you reject reason.
Jonathan Ive
Different and new is relatively easy. Doing something thats genuinely better is very hard.
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
There's no other product that changes function like the computer.
Jonathan Ive
We're very genuinely designing the best products that we can for people.
Jonathan Ive
The most important thing is that you actually care, that you do something to the very best of your ability
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
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
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
Apple's goal isn't to make money. Our goal is to design and develop and bring to market good products.
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
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
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.
