Jony Ive’s era at Apple ends after 30 years, so now, with his signature LoveFrom, we’re that much closer to seeing him design an Android mobile… Let’s do it!
Carl Pei’s recent Nothing Phone (1) is likely An Android mobile is most similar to an iPhone Which you’ve seen in recent times, though in reality Soon we will see an Android phone designed by Jony IveAs Apple’s former chief designer He definitely said goodbye to the Cupertino company.
And all this while the market began flirting with Apple’s price hike that was already expected for the future iPhone 14s, and when Many managers question whether Apple is paying the bills from loveThe independent studio that Jony Ive set up years ago after leaving Cupertino and through which Apple continues to collaborate with the giant.
And finally, their love ended: Jony Ive and Apple parted ways definitively.
After three years the love seems to be over, as the two are partners edge from The New York Times It has been confirmed that The popular designer and Apple parted ways three years later and definitivelyAnd they do it in the middle of negotiating a new cooperation agreement and apparently because of a red line that Jony Ive would have crossed.
The Ive era at Apple ends three years after the designer’s departure, who is now looking for more freedom and the possibility to take on clients without needing approval from Cupertino.
As it happened, Apple and LoveFrom both reached multi-million dollar deals in 2019 Which is estimated at around $100 million, so that Jony Ive may be connected to the design of the devices, although he leads the new Apple product design team. Tim Cook and his people reserve the right to restrict and/or choose customers LoveFrom may or may not work.
At the time, Jony Ive said he hoped to continue collaborating with Apple “for many years”Although it seems Now he wants the freedom to accept clientsAttempting to withdraw from the new contract requires prior approval of that Apples, which will not be accepted In any case, this is the case.
Furthermore, apparently they seem to have weighed heavily in the decision Criticism and suspicion from the Cupertino board of directors for the large amount of money Those given to his former head of design, which were not enough LoveFrom will bring many of Apple’s top designers.
30 years of technological innovation that says goodbye, and complete freedom for a Jony Ive who will continue to work with Airbnb and Ferrari even though there is now the possibility of signing an Android mobile… why not?
With this premise, it is clear that The marriage was doomed to break upSo Apple’s chief operating officer, Jeff Williams, will continue to personally lead Apple’s design team, which will happen Now supported by marketing department at the time of “Product Choice”.
For its part, Jony Ivewho has been at Apple since 1992 taking care of the most iconic products like the iMac or the white iPod headphones, Now continue to operate Lovefrom with complete freedomkeep Airbnb and Ferrari are its main clients But with the possibility, now yes, of signing new contracts in the mobile industry as well.
Will we see an Android phone bearing the signature of Jony Ive? Well, time will tell, but now at least it’s more possible than ever…
