Jonathan Ive is Back in Charge of the Design Teams at Apple

By Rain Noe - December 12, 2017

Good news: Jonathan Ive, who was famously promoted to Chief Design Officer of Apple two years ago, is officially overseeing the design teams again. As CDO Ive's attention was spread onto the design of Apple's "spaceship" campus, with Alan Dye and Richard Howarth taking over the hardware and software design teams. But now, Bloomberg reports,

"With the completion of Apple Park, Apple's design leaders and teams are again reporting directly to Jony Ive, who remains focused purely on design," Amy Bessette, a company spokeswoman, said Friday in a statement.

Some months ago I'd read rumors that Ive was looking to ease his way out of the company, and I'm glad to see that they were just rumors. Here's to hoping Ive can right the ship.

What I'm wondering is if this is the good, old Jony Ive or the shitty new one. Will he save the product line or push it down the drain further?

  I don't think there's much hope.

I’m a lapsed industrial designer. I was born in NYC and figured I’d die there, but a few years ago I abandoned New York to live on a farm in the countryside with my wife. We have six dogs.
