Steve Jobs considered Ive to be his "spiritual partner at Apple," while Fortune magazine stated in 2010 that Ive's designs have "set the course not just for Apple but for design more broadly. "[3][4][5] Early life[edit] Ive was born in Chingford, London, UK. Ive explained that his discovery of the Apple Mac, after "having a real problem with computers" during his later student years, was a turning point. Career[edit] The scheduled publication of an unofficial Ive biography was announced in late 2013.
Charity work[edit] Honors and awards[edit] Personal life[edit] Is Apple Guilty of Planned Obsolescence? To prevent users from opening their devices, Apple is switching to a new tamper-proof screw. It's planned obsolescence, says one critic. Apple’s increasing use of tamper-resistant screws is a form of planned obsolescence, says one critic. As previously reported, Apple is using proprietary five-point security screws in the iPhone 4 and new MacBooks Airs. The special screws were first used in the 2009 MacBook Pro to stop users from replacing the battery. The screws are unique to Apple and serve one purpose only: to keep users out. The plan, says iFixit CEO Kyle Wiens, is to force customers to upgrade their gadgets sooner than necessary. “It’s a form of planned obsolescence,” says Wiens. iFixit CEO Kyle Wiens Planned obsolescence is an industrial design strategy that encourages customers to upgrade their products sooner than necessary.
According to Wiens, the special screws prevent owners from upgrading or repairing their machines themselves.

By Rob Waugh Updated: 01:56 GMT, 20 March 2011 Rob Waugh reports on the rise to near-mythical status of Jonathan Ive, the remarkable man from Chingford Jonathan Ive (left) has helped turn Apple into the second biggest company in the world, with a higher turnover than Google or Microsoft Few Westerners have ever seen the forging of a Japanese samurai sword.
The steel is folded and refolded thousands of times to create a hard outer layer and a softer inner core resulting in a singular blade: terrifyingly sharp but far less prone to breaking than any sword forged in the West. Once the blade is complete it is polished to a mirror finish, an elaborate procedure that itself can take weeks. Ive endlessly seeks crucial knowledge that can help him to make the thinnest computing devices in the world, so it surprised no one at Apple that their obsessive design genius would take a 14-hour flight for a meeting with one of Japan’s leading makers of katana. Jonathan Ive surrounded by his creations. Apple’s Jonathan Ive: great design is about focus, simplicity, emotion. It's every designer's dream--and that of every innovation reporter, CEO, and Mac fan alike: a lengthy conversation with Apple's senior vice president of industrial design Jonathan Ive, who rarely grants interviews.
The dream came true for the London Evening Standard's Science and Technology editor Mark Prigg, who published a long, exclusive Q&A with the knighted Apple exec, "The iMan Cometh," on March 12. One of the most striking elements of the interview, in my opinion, is how it humanizes Sir Ive. He's on such a pedestal as a design guru, it's easy to forget that he is a regular person, and of course a user of technology and admirer of great design, too.
This is important, given that he makes it clear that Apple's success relies on creating products with the user in mind, and which spark very emotional connections between people and their iPhones, Macs, and iPads. When discussing Apple's design strategy, Ive comes off as the opposite of aloof and arrogant. Simple is best. Image: Apple.
